WTB: 1974 MCI "The Safe"

Archived from groups: rec.games.video.arcade.collecting (More info?)

I've got a feeling this may be a tricky find. No matter, I'm wanting to buy
one. Please have an amount in mind (can't guarantee I'll [be able to] pay
it) as I haven't a clue what one would go for.

For those with buddies (internet, personal, etc.) I would greatly appreciate
spreading the word. Dependent upon whether or not I actually buy one that
someone found for sale, I'll gladly offer a finders fee (not a fortune,
though $50? sound good?) TIA!

I emailed them. Typically, they are expen$ive (though its understandable as
they have overhead as a business). We'll see. I was hoping to find an
individual that may have it for sale. Though thanks for the tip! I did
email them never-the-less.

$699 for a working 30 year old game with some degree of rarity is hardly
expensive I think

Sounds like you took a shot at Todd to me.Saying his prices are expensive is
slandering him.He happens to be one of the nicest people to deal with on
this newsgroup.I have purchased many games from him and his service was
impeccable.I would have been glad to pay even more for the fast and reliable
service he gave me on several occasions.As busy as he is he still gave me
all the time i needed on our phone conversations.And a more knowledgeable
and honest businessman you won't find very often around here.Except for Bob
Roberts.He is the only person in the same league as Todd in my opinion.

This just shows (not that anyone really needed proof) what an idiot you
are. Saying that someone's prices are expensive is not slander.

Todd may be a great guy (never dealt with or met him so I really don't
know) but after taking a look at the price list for arcade games at the
TNT web site, I think his prices are *quite* expensive.
