Awesome, I guess a fully restored comes with a hefty pricetag?

Very well done. That is not a purchase, it's an investment.  :) I know, because I just sold one for much more, so be careful with the game.

You said fully restored, does that mean that the artwork is stencilled again, or is it vinyl?

Oh, and I wouldn't abuse the dog in that way.  ;D

Hi guys,
here is a little more about the story behind....
I sold the cab to Kick, it was from my private collection.
He told me it is his dream cab and was looking for a long time for this one and so on.
So he bought it at the End of August for a really fair price. So wat can I tell? Lessons learned!!!
About 4 weeks later he has sold the cab again ... for 2500€!
I know it, because the new owner contacted me if I’m selling other cabs....

So just as a information for you guys ....

His dreams are cheap if they are not worth 2500 euros.
Someone talked about investment... this is a 120ish % ROI over 3 months.
The guy is a real businessman.  :(

Hello guys,

Here a short response from me.

I'am Kick and i'am 15 years old.
We have to deal with an adult named Enrico, who is very jalous that he never can make such deals.
When i bought the PAC-MAN for €1100 euro's i payed him cash and the PacMan was mine.
Nobody can tell me how to handel further.
It's a shame that Enrico use this platform for his bad behavior.

I think everything is said .... you guys can make your own picture of it.
As I said - lessons learned! If I WANT to sell another arcade, I will do it only to Arcade guys I know.

I can see only one person with bad behaviour here, and it's not Enrico. Enrico made a lot of deals, but he would never tell anyone a story full of lies te get a bette price. You should feel ashamed. Get lost!

Shame on you! Enrico's a smart and gentle guy, he could have sold it for much more money. He was doing you a favour.

The word will spread. I'm pretty sure that you will make no more deals like this. So enjoy the money.

This would have been true, if you you would not have lied to buy the cab for peanuts.
Shame on you.

First of all, before you misunderstand me,
I have always wanted the Pac-Man arcade.
Of course I was very pleased that Enrico helped me with that and offert me an affordable price.
Enrico has always been sent back eagerly during our contact and has helped to reload and relocate the Pac-Man, and I am very grateful to him.
When the Pac-Man arcade was in my room, I was very happy, but later the cabinet started to bore me and I sold the Pac-Man arcade.
I put the arcade on 'marktplaats' for 2500 euros. Of course I did not think I could get this much for the cab.
I could have got 1100 or 1400 euros for the cab.
After that, I've put ( going to put ) that money into my biggest hobby 'drumming'.
I did not realize that Enrico would be so angry (disappointed) after the sale of the Pac-Man.
I've always thought that the price would be 1100 euros, since these cabinets are very popular in the Netherlands, I have made a lot of profit witch i did not expect.

No Problem, Kick. Just send Enrico 50% of the difference and everything is fine...

'nuff said.

By the way, Enrico told me recently, it's O.K. for him to wait another two weeks, till you sold your drumset...  ;D

Normally I 'm smart enough to stay away from these kind of discussions.... that said  ;D

It is sad that this kid sold it so fast. Still I wanna hire him as a sales man 😄

It is a 15 year old boy who has to learn that some things are not very nice ( or maybe he is called Trump) he clearly is not as involved in the hobby as we are.

So the question remains who is in NL is paying insane amounts of money for so it seams  a very nice but stickered so not original cab? For that money you can buy a perfect new replica.

Or am I crazy? What is a decent restored pac doing in the USA now a day?

A sad story. Unfortunately, with vintage fashion, the little arcade world is empty of passion and full of bad people  >:(
