I say a Bobby Orr today at a garage sale. Some BG flaking, great
cab, PF wear around pop bumper inserts, apparently working. I had no
idea what it was worth but my $100 offer was declined.

What is it worth ?

Whar are these going for now at auction? does it seem to affect it

from those now...just curious


Im really looking for a BOPP in that condition. Im crossing fingers.
Garage sale anywhere close to southern Indiana? I'll drive 200 miles
for the right deal tho.



What I was getting at is this- I work for a vending company but the owner
is completely souless and selfish. I am in a dilemma- we have a nice
eight ball that needs board work, new pins in the connectors. We have a
silverball mania, needs mpu board, pf rough, some bg peeling, and an Evel
Knievel, which needs a mpu and has been parted out pretty bad underneath
the pf. Now I know like they sit he won't get 200 bucks at an auction for
any of them. I can get repairable boards and I have all the parts at home
to fix them- I will have to do most of the work there using my game as a
test bed. So here is the dilemma- I want Evel Knievel- if I fix the other
games for him, and here is the souless shrew part, he will try and screw
me on the one I want, even though if I don't fix any of them he will lose
twice that- he is literally so selfish and penny mongering that he is
actually too stupid to see that. If you can believe anyone is that
selfish that it actually costs them money, then you understand. SO one
one hand if I just say tough luck then I "might" get the evel at all, let
alone a decent price, which to me as it sits, maybe 200, and that is just
us here who know talking. If I fix the others up and sell them on the net
or he gets a good price then by helping him I cut my own throat. This is
almost too ridiculous to contemplate- I have never seen anyone like that
in my life besides him. So.. what do you guys think? my inclination is to
tell him to shove all of them and do nothing, let him take them up there
and cut off his nose to spite his face and get 50 bucks.
