So when I was at the sale last week in Bellingham WA I was a little disappointed. Everything was crazy high priced - pinball machines for $3800 bucks... kinda out of my league. I'm not that desperate to buy stuff.
But like my dad says, you go to sales without any expectations and then you won't be disappointed. Just look around and have an open mind. It's when you plan on buying something that you tend to over spend. Make sense?
So at the sale as I walked around I spied an old video game tucked in the back. I walked past it 3 or 4 times before realizing it was for sale. A Manx TT motorcycle racing game. And the price tag read a hundred bucks. I played this game when younger - lots of fun. You sit on the small motorcycles and race each other.
I asked the guy if it ran and he said last they plugged it in it did. He offered to run a cord to it and power it up once things calmed down at the sale. I said don't bother and asked if I could come back in a week to pick it up. I handed him $100 when he said yes.
So Yesterday I went and picked it up. Here is a shot of it in the garage...
I have 2 bikes for it. One needs a part fixed because it just flops on the stand.
But the game is all there and should fix up nice. I will plug it in later and see if it works.
It has a ton of potential and could be a lot of fun at parties.
The garage in Vancouver is now officially full. Lol.
