Title: I so want one ! But is it in the box ??
Post by: marra on 28, January, 2012 - 19:20:13
I have been wanting one for years, an unused boxed one. Reminds me of the C5 in New Zealand ( boxed and unopened ).

   I was hooked on the Somon says back in the 80's. On edge weather to get it.  :P :P

Tricky - as always , how do you know it's in there ? And if you open it, it loses value as no longer  "unopened"  ???

This would not be for a collection, for me to open and use. I like the idea of owning a new one  ;D ... Sad I know  ::)  I did this with my original C5, bought a boxed one for £550 and opened it and use it. Brings a good feeling that its mine from new, few can say that ( probably cos they have more sense  :D ) . Not going to bother as with the international, if its faulty or a brick in it sending back at my expense and paypal probs would not be worth it. Off to play on my ' Altered Beast ' arcade in garage .

Good man!

I had the arcade running earlier. Sadly the winter has killed the crazy taxi by the looks of it! :(
