Wait. That's mine -  I take both Andre :)

go and play :D i hooked andré up with that lunar lander cabinet, so i guess it's only fair if it returns HOME ;D

but let's not forget one small detail here: andré doesn't want to sell it - or does he?  8)

With your growing collection - you should prepare everything. Accidents happen.

My brother and 2 of my friends have instructions in case of such an event.
You don't want to leave your family with 6000+ boxed games, 100 computers and consoles...4 pinballs and now 50+ arcade cabinets...

Speaking of this I hope youu guys have insured your collection in any way. (Fire etc.)

On the other hand.....perfectly working LL, probably the only one on mainland Europe...B/W vector beauty AND an Atari.....I don't know.....I'd probably regret it later.....


I regret selling my Judge Dredd too.....I miss a pinball machine now....but I have no space for one anymore...... All the other games I sold I don't regret so much....

yeah, i followed that one. there was a "slight" difference between what you offered me for mine and what the upright sold for on ebay :P. but then again, the difference was still there even for the amount of money i eventually got. somehow i regret selling it - and that doesn't happen often ...

Stumbled upon this craiglist advert with a 20K+ game collection (from what I see from the pictures), I once again recommend everybody is prepared.
