....but the big issue is that SI/Qix is much less desirable than
Ms Pac/Galaga, so you'll have a hard time finding someone willing to
do a straight-up trade.

Tell you what! I will swap you EVEN UP, a brand new in the crate Arcade
Legends cocktail...comes with 40 classic games ---but alas no Ms Pacman or
Galaga, but you will be able to upgrade this game as new kits come
out....but will swap it for JUST the SI/QIX---if you pay for the shipping
both ways. I can retail either unit for the same price. and you could sell
The Grid privately to cover your shipping costs of ther 2 machines. Let me
know! Todd from TNT Amusements
