Hey guys,
I'm in the Milwaukee area and I have a VS. RBI arcade machine that I think I have to part with :'( :'( :'(
I need it out of my basement, just had my first child and need the room for all sorts of crap to be move around.
I can take pictures and what not, I'd like to sell it locally, to someone who will appreciate it and will do so at a fair price.
Based on interest I will continue with the process, if noone wants it I'll keep it for awhile longer.
Sad day.
How much are we talking? I live in Madison and I have a truck so picking it up wouldn't be difficult for me.
Congrats on the kid. Try naming it Reggie Jackson ______(Bastardo?) to help ease the pain!
Indeed... Milwaukee would be very driveable for the right price!!!!!
Please let us know!
for sure.
Dee-Nee auction!!!

This is where Shooty sweeps in at the last second and wins the auction, nailing another arcade hide to his wall.

Nope, no more room...especially for a sit down job.
theres always room for a sit down job
K, since some decent interest I'll take some pictures tomorrow morning and do a quick review on it's condition... ...it's pretty solid. It's got Golf on the other side... ...all the controls work and there is very limited burn in on either monitor.
:'( :'( :'( :'( :'(

Back possum
I think working Golf on the other side may have upped the ante for Briznock.
Briz and I are serious buyers.
:)
I'm still closer to it though, and I called dibbs!
Advantage: Re-Peat.
Your move Hoosiers...
Where in Madison? I may live closer. I have a friend who might be interested and he lives on the East sie. :)

I'm on the West Side, so your friend may be closer.
I still got dibbs though.
Your move.
I'm off Todd Dr. This is crazy, nobody has seen this machine yet or knows how much he is selling for. Is this one of those cocktail arade games I played years ago? I thought they had one player on one side and one on the other but it sounds like RBI is on one side and golf on the other? What kind of golf? I'm e-mailing my friend to see if he wants to do a Milwaukee run as we speak.

I'd assume it's one like Gantry has (as you said, RBI on one side and Golf on the other):

Damn... I'm off Whitney Way, so you have me beat by a mile or two.
On the other hand, I travel to Watertown 2-3 times a week, and that puts my WAY closer!
I'll be god-damned if a fucking lurker buys this machine and Brock and I continue our wait for one closer to home.

Lurker? Are we talking about StarCraft now?
I'm talking about brookensrules.
Damned if someone who lurks the boards and just jumps all over the rare machine being sold that pops up around here.
perhaps you should try ebay. I"m mere minutes from picking this sucker up. Lurker? I've had a few posts and have been aware of this site for some time. I would agree with newbie or something but certainly not lurker. ;)
Somehow I don't think the sale of this machine is based on who's the closest to the seller.
You may be wrong about that. Re-Peat brought the proximity up, not me.
"I'm still closer to it though, and I called dibbs!

Your move Hoosiers..."
Proximity means nothing. Its all price.
Its about pick up and proximity means nothing to the man with the machine. ALl he has to do is accept payment and open up his garage or home or whatever to someone picking it up.
Really? High bidder wins? I wasn't sure how that works.
first he tells me brookens rules.
now he's being snooty about this cocktail machine.
good start.
And Brookens is a Marylander!
Fuck maryland!

I've mentioned proximity, but I wasn't the one to make it a priority, the seller did that.
He might also slightly favor selling to a Brewers season ticket holder...
if the other side had vs. Ladies golf (yes, this exists), i would be entering into the bidding...but it isn't.

I'll start the bidding. Do we want to have a silent/private auction? Or just post your bids here. When does it end.

Good point about the seller mentioning it and not you. My bad.
Brewer ticket holder...that's tough to beat.
What's a Marylander? I live in WI.
Yes, Brookens does rule, at least he does when I play as Detroit.

I'm inspired by the interest and moderately depressed.
Was out of town for a day, about to go snap the photos.
:-\
Also - I'm a full season ticket holder for the Brewers... ...Go Brewers.

I bet you were only a partial season holder when they were in the American League
HIYO!
I was a partial season ticket holder through college and the first three Miller Park seasons, finally had the funds to pull the trigger on the full season since then... ...shitty seats, upstairs, but we've worked the seats to nearly behind home plate atleast.
I actually liked the American League and was kinda pissed Selig decided he was God and dicked around with the alignment.
I just get 20 game packs, but I live in Madison... A full season would be sick but I'd miss most of the games!
I live 10 minutes from MP and miss half the games... ...can't imagine living in Madision and even maintaining the 20 game pack.
I love me my baseball.
My buddy has some season tickets in the first few rows in left field (right where the line meets the stands) and I couldn't believe how close we were to the sausages. When they came out I looked at him and said "If I get on the rail and do a flying tackle on one of the sausages, will you pay my bail"? He thought about it too long and they got out of range.
Next time... I think I could actually get on ESPN with that kind of shennanigan.
I'm fat (but pretty fast) and when I told that to one of my friends they said "You should jump on the field and chase them with a hot dog bun and a bottle of ketchup". This may happen if he takes me to another game down there.

Yeah, I saw it.
I also hate the DH.

based off what little i have read, it is the exact same as Vs. Golf, but with the sprites changed to be female. It MAY incorporate different courses or hitting distances, but i don't think so. i saw the board for it on ebay once, but I didn't bid...that's a shame.
here is the only screen shot i was able to find
i would kill to have an rbi/vs. golf cocktail machine.

I said I liked the American League, not really the DH, the DH is what it is... ...I just liked the old AL East rivals... ...the Brewers/White Sox rivalry was always great too.
Now we have to deal with the Cubs and Cards, puke.

This sounds like a good plan and could keep you from getting in much trouble as they'd know it was a joke. Plus the humor would probably guarantee TV time.
And when you're done there, get tickets in the third row at a Duke game and wear a bright orange shirt and talk on your cell phone a lot.
Short
Here is a quick pic of the RBI machine... ...I'm thinking about going through ebay because of the interest (and the suggestion from Brookens)... ...I have to pull it out of it's corner and clean it up a bit though. Stay tuned.
So hard.
Upon cleaning up the machine on the surface, it's looking alot sharper... ...here are some current things to note... ...1 and 2 player buttons are missing but working, I think the buttons are rolling around the basement and can be cemented back in, or easily replaced... ...coin slot #1 was rigged before I bought the machine, along with the coin box on the RBI side, drilled out, doesn't effect game play... ...on the golf side all of the buttons are fine including the coin stuff, but when I turned it on it seems as though the golf sides monitor is on the fritz, I'm going to try to fix that as well... ...we really only play RBI on this thing, I hadn't looked at that golf setup in years.
I will take pictures of it cleaned up and when I get everything working I will ebay it, don't want to sell something not up to speed.

That looks beatiful. Let the bidding begin! Note: Bastardo takes advice from the "lurker"

Why would you put it on EBay if there is enough interest on here?
You could avoid the fees by just selling it yourself. I would just start the bidding at the lowest reasonable price you are willing to sell it for, and just let people outbid eachother on a first come basis.
For my part I can assure you that I'd be there ASAP to pick it up... no hassle.

I would agree. Your biggest bidders will be RBI fans in the area. And all of them are on this site.
These Nintendo sit down jobs aren't the greatest of sellers anyway. Why let ebay take 8% or whatever? You can go to any number of Arcade type sites and get a value estimate of the game and just price it at that or let the couple of Dee-Neers bid on it over a couple of days. You'll come out further ahead most likely and ensure that one of our own get it.
Start the bidding at $200 or something and put the bid increments at $25. Have people bid and whoever has the last bid in without someone beating it (allow 12 hour windows) sell it to them.
10-4, let me put the thing together and sort out the golf side issues... ...then I gotta get it out of the basement into the garage... ...this is quite the process but I'm enjoying it.
I only paid $150 for it, so whatever parts I buy to refurb it added to that would be the starting bid.
I'll keep you guys posted.

You might as well put it up on craiglist then. ^-^
Can't really do bidding on craigslist.
If this thing ends up on ebay, I'm gonna be really disappointed.
For some reason I think I first linked to this one on ebay like 2 years ago.
You might have Attezz... ...it was up in Green Bay... ...no worries, I'm dedicated to it going to a proper home, so I'll dee-nee it, just thought the ebay thing would've been an easy way to auction it.
My main concern is that I don't want to sell the thing to someone and then have the thing explode on them two weeks later.
I didn't think it was going to live through the trip in the 1989 Chevy Cavalier station wagon from Green Bay to Milwaukee, remarkable it turned on when I got it home.
