OH-MY-GOD, LUNACITY IS FOR SALE !!!
« on: March 06, 2010, 08:17:29 AM »
Is it firtst of April yet ? No....so it has to be true.....

Not sure what happened but Peter Hirschberg stepped out of the scene some months ago and now this:

!!!!!!! Very sad IMHO. I don't know the reason why, but I sure hope someone can step in and buy the house, arcade and (most of the) games.....

For those who don't know Luna City: It has been a dream/example for all of us. It's probably what every collector's ultimate goal would be. Check out the pictures here: http://www.lunacityarcade.com/photos.htm

 Wish Peter all the best !

Well the price Peter mentions is around the 700-800.000 dollars. I bet it's a nice place. :D

NOOOOOOOOOOO  :o :o :o

This is horrible, but I'm sure that he doesn't sell it voluntarily. There must have happened something terrible in his private life.

I can't imagine how Peter must be feeling about this, I sure hope that I never will have to sell my games and my gameroom.

Let's hope that the new owner also will also be a true arcade collector, like Peter.  ???

Is 2012 coming or what?   ???   Finny is selling (or taking offers)  his lair, and now Peter is selling and he just finished his gameroom basically...  Just a strange coincidence or what?  Hate to see this happen to good folks.  :'(

I've been "probing" to find out what happened... I have a few ideas, but not the truth as to why he sold it, (btw, it is sold and he'd moved out)  :'(
