$380 to ship a cocktail Warlords from Nevada to Colorado.

THREE EIGHTY

Well, shipping arcade games had a good run but never again. Once past $300, I'm out.

What did the Gauntlet machine cost you? I had always heard the first one was around $400 and the second one was free. That was the old NAVL deal, anyway.

I thought it was 300. I thought it was 300! With $500 into it, I could get SOMETHING approaching a break-even status if I sold it one day. But this? Chrus--

Well, Warlords goes for like $1500 these days so it is still a good deal if I restore it.

ggdb ... which is not a great source... but the only one I have - it says 122 lbs for a cocktail game, if I remember right.

I would say that at least seems accurate.

Anyway, I gotta find another one of these Christing things to sell now.

So in other words it weighs 1/4 of a tdarcos or 1/8 of tdarcos and his chairmobile.

Come on. You're better than th-- well, I don't know who you are, but this place, this BBS, is better than this. Post it on Caltrops and then link to it here, but keep this shit out of our BBS.

It's interesting that not only are famous peoples' lifespans are measured by Tdarcos, but now video games are weighed against him too.
It's like he's a benchmark of some sort. Perhaps some day a car company will have the 1/2 Tdarcos truck line

or something.
