This dude is complaining that people won't buy what he is throwing away...
Its cash in hand or the dump gets it for FREE... makes loads of sense whtflag.gif


Lemme follow you to the trash heap friend, just next time don't smash them before you trash them.


I would easily pay good money for those cabs if I was in their location. Perhaps they don't show anywhere that they have parts they don't want. Pickup $50 each - easy sell. They would all go for at LEAST that.

Also - regardless if he can sell them or not, you simply don't go throwing nostalgic limited supply cabinets from the golden era off the side of a building and laugh in an attempt to attract people that have a strong emotional attachment to those machines, regardless of the state. That logic is seriously f'ed up.

It shows he doesn't understand this and therefore he doesn't understand his customer because if I was there I'd love to buy one of his quality machines, and I'm sure they would be of high quality given his other videos (been searching for an original top quality Space Invaders for years). However after this stunt and their reaction following - forget it. Speaks volumes of what you can expect in after sales 'service' if they don't see eye-to-eye with you.

...and not to mention the 'rotting waterlogged cabinets' comment is a load of bullsh1t as can be seen from the pictures of the broken wood which looked damn fine on the video.

Anyway his stupid loss. Some people have no idea even when you tell them point blank.

The smashed glass and translites alone would be worth quite a bit.

Personally, I think this guy is a good guy, or at least better that TNT Amusements...

He might be "destroying" a few things, but not as much as TNT Amusements, and
he turns this mayhem into comedy.

um pressing zero brought me to a live salesperson so i spoke with him. he states that it was the boss's idea to get rid of them since (in his words) "they could not be sold in their current condition" I let him know what i thought of such a mindless waste. he just laughed it off...i hope none of these inbred idiots ever reproduce! what jerks...they SHOULD be put on 1000 ways to die we could toss them off the roof to see how THEY like it
just watched that last vid on how the inbred idiot trashes a nice looking pf. you know they make great coffee tables with a 12 volt reducers for the pf led bulbs then you put it under tempered glass add some legs and tada a coffee table! i also see he is wearing what is probably his 'Sunday Best' clothes too! and didn't that hairstyle go out in like the late 70's? at least it's not a Mullet

You do realise that's comedy, right?

"HEY! It's ONLY pinball!" as Rudy would say. It's not life or death. Relax a little.
