Anyone see the 80 machines on Ebay?

[Bigdog]

If anyone here lives in or around Kansas City, MO, you should check out Ebay...6+ days to go, 80 +/- machines (appear to be mainly early-mid 1980's models...at least to me it seems that way). The seller seems to think that at least 30 could be salvaged and made to work well...I would suspect that some of the more talented persons on this board could do better than that.

Opening bid is $350, and buy it now is $700. For 80 machines, that seems like a deal (opening bid of less than $5 per machine)...with Ebay's 10% off certicate for certain members this month, you could be talking about winning these machines for $6-$8 bucks apiece.

I'd be really interested to see the outcome of this sale...if anyone here takes the bait, keep us all posted on what you end up with.

I'm not seeing anything much older than early 90's in his lot, but they'd be nice to have anyway

You know anyone bringing home 80+ machines is going to have some explaining to do...

it's not like hiding the odd one...

Been there, done that, 80+ more wouldn't even be noticed!

Most I brought home at once was 12, wife didn't say a word, she shook her head and groaned but didn't say anything, If I lived close to KC I would be tempted, but the distance saves me...this time...

I saw those come up originally on Craigslist. Must not have gotten much interest there. Probably not a bad deal if you have room to store them!
