Title: Good Deals - not 'bob
Post by: bob on April 11, 2013, 02:40:59 PM

I was searching around a bit, and by a bit, I mean barely.  But anyway, we have a thread of good deals we come across for Turbo related crap.
And often, people put in, "Not Turbo Related" or something of the sort.
I see things once in a while that I would like to share with the community in case anybody is interested.
For instance, I saw this link for Xenoblade Chronicles for 17.99.  Problem is, it's not US.  So if any of our comrades across the pond care, and want this game, it's a good pick-up.

So there's the first one, and if you see anything out there that we might be interested in, post it in here.

On the surface I wouldn't really call this a "good" deal @ $800 but these don't pop up very often on Craigslist - it's a 4-Slot Neo Candy Cab. It's unfortunately been turned into a MAME machine - if I was closer to the D.C. area I would try to negotiate for just the cab:

Man, the prevelence of perfectly good cabs running MAME is really starting to irk me for some reason.

At least it looks like the seller kept it JAMMA and did not swiss cheese the CP with spinners, 4-ways and trackballs. He does say if you just want to cab and not the PC, to contact him. Wonder how much he thinks the PC is worth?

I remember seeing candies for sale on CL from Maryland all the way down to Charlotte back during my Virginia Beach days...must be proximity to the coast or something because I never see them in the Milwaukee-Chicago area, ever.

Closest I saw was outside Dubuque....and sadly it was reasonable to
