So has Flinnster got the Outrun? I'm confused.

So this morning I got a message congratulating me for getting the Outrun and finally sorting it out!

By this point I just had to laugh, that message was probably the icing on the cake of chinese whispers that are out there!

As I said to Andy on the phone last night, I have no idea what is and isn't real any more.

To confirm, I have come away from this with nothing.

Thankfully I don't appear to have fallen out with anyone either. I've been straight up with everyone from the outset - I was there for the Outrun DLX and waived my right to anything else pretty quickly. I didn't demand anything really, I just stated what I was there for - straight up, no messing.

I was happy to help everyone else get what they were after, I was focused on the red lump with the non-working pcb inside. The one next to Donald Duck.

A lot of the information I was dealing with was circling at speed between the group members - and I wasn't able to be online 24/7.

I was dealing with conflicting facts from the guys involved that were all 2nd or 3rd hand.

Being at a distance and not local, and not knowing any of the guys involved in person didn't help matters.

So I'm not getting into blame games or flaming or anything similar. A mix of personalities clashing, none who knew eachother face-to-face and the fact that I wasn't close enough geographically to really make that difference all compounded the situation from my point of view.

Definitely quite a few lessons learnt..

I am genuinely gutted that the chance to get my utter hands-down grail slipped away, again....

Meanwhile chapter 6 of 'The Outrun Saga - The Game That Could Never Be Purchased' has been written. It's going to be a stonking read when it's finally complete.

It'll be packaged as a bonus insert booklet with a glossy coffee table book featuring the articles from thearcadeblogger.com.

Or will it? you decide.

I do have photos I can post so everyone can see what was allegedly up for grabs.

Of course I never got to see if for myself.... but the cabs looked genuinely pretty nice.

I'm sure they will be enjoyed by many in the long run.

I'll just wait until those involved have given me the OK to do so

Well the op has just phoned me saying someone in Italy has offered 4500 euros lol

That's less than £4k sterling though. Or was the previous offer €4k?

It’s not the amount it’s the fact the op has agreed a deal and then tried to up the price via a real or fake offer it was never an auction to begin with, and I’m not interested in dealing with someone like that.

Talk about spinning out of control. Originally 1000 and easy, now thousands more and who knows. As soon as the operator started to get several people calling, it was bound to go bad. We might not even know where this stuff ends up now.

Or maybe...
