It also includes golf, it's got 1 day left, and is currently at $140, whaddya ya guys think? If anybody here wants it, let me know, otherwise I may go up to about 300 for it.

Azz- I recommend that you only do this if you plan on picking it up, shipping is gonna be expensive
Shipping appears to be 150-200 bucks...That's why if I can get it for <300 I'd be willing to do it, anything higher than that and I'll scrap the idea, just about a day left so who knows what could happen. The last one I saw went for around $500, I believe.
I'm still a little up in the air about it though, especially since I've got the Arcade RBI for the NES now.
Hey guys, I'm gonna go for it, I live in Milwaukee and would be able to pick that sum bitch up... ...my wife has given me clearance to an extent... ...now I'm a bit nervous because it's almost in my paws...
Good luck
Thanks, man, it would be an absolute delight, I've begun to accept donations here at work... ...nervous.
So bastardo, are you soggy_bottomboys? ???
Fuck you man, I ain't got no soggy bottoms... ...I've got astroids though.... 8)
Actually I'm Milwindyguy, changed my name to bastardo due to a nickname change here in Mil-town, hard to shake some times, ya know...
I'm always checkin' in here and it may have paid off in the way of an affordable RBI machine... ...I hope so anyway.

Hey Dirt, just realizing that the ebay seller is soggy bottoms... ...I see what you are getting at now, nope I'm not him, although I seem to be drawing too much attention to the machine I really want to buy...
My ebay user name is macadudley and I am currently the high bidder. :)
Fuck yes! $147.95 for a vs. RBI arcade machine, damn I'm pumped... ...I'm trying to make arrangements for pick up tomorrow... ...I knew I hung on to my 1989 Chevy Cavalier Station Wagon with optional Rust Package for a reason... ...Things seem to be coming up Bastardo today... ...Thanks for posting this thread Attie!
Congrats, next time I get out to Wisconsin I'll be sure to hit ya up.
so bastardo, does it work?
Thanks for all of the congrats!
After bragging about it all Friday night, my best friend (and one helluva RBI player) and I decided to drive up to Green Bay first thing Saturday morning.
My wife was pissed.
So we drive the two hours up to Green Bay, in my piece of shit station wagon, and the guy isn't home!!! After a nervous 20 minute McDonalds stint the dude called us and we shoved the machine into the back of the wagon.
After a very rough ride home, with the thing bouncing around, we were certain it wouldn't fire up... ...then it took us about an hour to get the thing into the basement (that sucked, but we were on a high over retaining the Ax from Minnesota on the block punt)... ...flipped the switch... and RBI came on!!!!!!! Golf did not <-- but who cares?
Works perfectly... ...then when I turned it on yesterday, Golf actually came on also, although I didn't really test out the game because I was playing RBI.
$145 even is what he took as payment and RBI works flawlessly... ...picked up some flowers a couple of movies and a card for my wife (for sweetest day) and mended the fences.
I'm still pretty amped.
I showed my wife this thread. She said that she would end me if I spent $145 on an arcade game. That said, I do envy you. I hope that you enjoy the shit out of it.
are you talking $145 Canadian or American? ???
You make 6 figures and your wife won't let you spend $145 on something you want, or she just doesn't want an arcade machine around?

don't worry, just go over to shooty's house he's got plenty of room in his basement for an arcade machine... you can keep it there. and if you wife kicks you out, you can move into said basement.
I didn't approach the wife properly at all intially and it burried me in the long run... ...due to my high excitement level the initial conversation went like this:
"Hey come look at this, we're going to buy it!"
a little banter and then the kicker...
"I can just drive up there tomorrow (sweetest day, on which we were married two years ago) and pick it up, no shipping, isn't that great?"
She was pissed, but seems to be over it at this point, real anniversary is today so it's not like I crapped on the actual wedding day.

She grew up real poor and she likes the idea of saving money but the real issue is the space. We live in a downtown condo and our floorspace is limited.

so what you're saying is that you're pussy whipped?
Hey, remember that I am the only guy to pull off the RBI BJ thing. So there!!!
WHO IS WHIPPED NOW!!! HUH!!!!
Dude, how many times do we have to tell you that it doesn't count if you are the one giving the BJ? ???
Actually, Baines did it first.
I did it years ago. In 2004. May, I think.
It was posted in that thread under the account by the same name that I deleted. I really think that it was first.
I was first.
Here is proof:

A) I wouldn't have room for one of those sit down RBI games. I may have room for one more standup, but am holding out for a Crystal Castles.
B) erhajj can crash at my place anytime...assuming he can beat me in a best of 7 RBI matchup. Otherwise, I'd kick his ass to the curb.
That thing was very much a pain in the ass to get into my basement, despite the fact that I have a pretty open hallway and access to it... ...it was much bulkier than I thought it would be, stupid golf side, I'm starting to lean torwards making it RBI baseball on both sides... ...can't find cheap chipsets or boards though, a Super Mario board is like $140... ...sucks.
Just keep checking Ebay for the RBI board, usually find them once every 4-5 months and they often go for $20.
I'll keep checkin', the mario game would apease the wife a little more because she likes it, but double RBI would just dominate the world itself.
Well done Bastardo, you can't beat that price for arcade RBI. We got ours for $202 but had to pay shipping which doubled it. Just make sure you never move again...
I currently owner/occupy a duplex, I'm planning on keeping the house as rental property and the RBI machine will remain in the basement sucking quarters from tenants for years to come, God willing of course.
My RBI cocktail takes Canadian quarters...
Is that an invite?
I specifically told my RBI cocktail machine to not associate with Canada in any way, shape, or form.

Ugh... ...you are right... ...I may have to get my balls from my wife's purse on this one and pull the machine off the market.
I'm dying here.
I figured I wouldn't take too much shit if it went to a dee-nee'r
:(
this was such a quality bumnpst
who here knew that erhajj made 6 figures? i always figured he was a transient living with his in laws.
oakland!!
Quality indeed... ...I showed it too my wife in an attempt to guilt her about me having to get rid of the machine... ...she didn't say much. :-\
I'm pretty sure it has sufficiently convinced me that I'd be the alltime biggest pu$$y in the world if I sold this thing, sorry for the false alarm dee-nee'rs, you can blame Attezz.

You sir are a tease.
No doubt about it... ...but after I refurb the machine a bit, you are welcome to come down for the annual Halloween tournament. >:D
I'd love to come down and play, but I'm not leaving Madison on Halloween...

I'll be at Disneyworld!
Update... ...I attempted to turn on my RBI arcade machine for the first time since the Halloween party last night and it did not respond. Nor did the Golf side. Something went wrong.
:(
do other appliances work out of the same outlet? maybe you had a breaker trip.
Power supply is the most likely culprit if you verified working power
I'm actually building a MAME arcade machine so, I'll have my own RBI arcade soon...no worrying about the machine not turning on cause there's always a cheap computer laying around to replace it with :)
I am pretty sure it's the power supply, because both sides are completely out, it is still a major bummer though... ...I honestly can't recall when it might have blown out during the party, last I remember people were lined up to play.
Bastardo, you're from Milwaukee? I just sent you a PM...didn't know there were any other MKE peoples here...
Looking better for a WI fest every day....
I am indeed in Milwaukee, I PM'd ya turd.

Looking better for a WI fest every day....
When and where...
If you guys are in, I'm in too...let's seriously talk some details...
I vote for Re-peat's place in Madison.
So, who are all the WI guys on here? We should setup a map like this:
http://www.knobbe.org/forum/shmoogle.php?mode=everyone
Re-Peat and myself are in Madison, hence my request for his place.
I have a few friends in Madison, I'm often up there for various Badger games and such... about to have a second kid in July though so if we are going to dee-nee fest WI wise let's get on it before my life is completely over.
Just had my second, it's infinitely more difficult to do things the way I did just a few short weeks ago...
Perhaps we need an official thread for this...close enough to Chicago too that some of the Chi-town boys could come up...
Start the thread turd... hopefully it doesn't just become a dee-nee fest that gets talked about alot.
To prevent that we should set a date soon.
I have a top loader, a copy of the game, and a 1080p projector and portable screen to play it on...
I know my college buddies have atleast one more top loader and a copy of the game...
Ok, I'll start something at lunch...

The machine never did accomplish supplemental income while being locked in the duplex basement limbo - - - but I will fulfill the other promise in this thread, to get it in better working order for this year's Halloween party.
