WTB: Joust and Tutankham
« on: June 26, 2014, 03:03:51 PM »
Now that I found Ms. PacMan and Centipede I only need the Tutankham for my Live magazine arcade row.
I know this is not going to be an easy one... maybe I have more luck with one of my fav games that never crossed my path so far: Joust.

So if you know somebody... or if you own one of these machines... let me know. I might be interested.

Greetings and a sunny weekend from Trier!

I bought some nice grails from that seller, would have taken his Tut too if I hadn't already bought one last month (quite a  bit cheaper, but not as nice as this one!).

interesting bit: an  American collector asked him not to sell one of these cabs to someone from Europe... I guess we're thieves of US heritage, guys!   ;)

Cheers,
Marco

There have been similiar comments on COW's facebook page, where they illustrated the leaving containers ;)

I somehow understand why they're complaining.....people get more money for their cabs from european guys and the cabs become rare over there....

I should think there are still plenty of fish (= cheap deals for US collectors) in the sea?

they can buy them... but don't blame european guys for buying stuff that is available for quite a while there.

well, he is somehow related to germany because of his family. did do no harm for me i guess.
i think a tut in this condition is well worth the money for me. i did not get any reasonable offers in europe and if there was one the condition was not that nice. this one seems to be in great shape, ready to roll. i am really really happy about the dig dug, too. i think my collection is allmost complete now. i will definately slow down a bit, relax and wait for qbert and joust to appear on my radar. and a star wars... and a donkey kong 3... and a major havoc... and.. oh boy, does this ever stop? :(

You're mad, my friend, really mad!  ;D


Congrats on the Tut and I guess DigDug is the (larger) US-version?


So how many cabs are now in your basement?

:)
