This is insane. I've been involved with many raids now and I've never seen anything like this.

It seems to be one of those occasions where the old 'if I can't have it nobody can' attitude quickly takes over. It becomes about cash and nothing to do with forum community or getting cabs to the people that really want them, which is how all the raids I've been on have worked. There's a reason they are kept to a close trusted group, and information is never shared until the deal is done and the cabs are loaded and gone from the location. Many guys don't even want anything, just like to be along for the ride and enjoy saving the stuff for others to enjoy.

Afterwards there's usually a bit of sourness on here with people saying 'ooh you kept that quiet', 'how come it wasn't shared with the forum?', 'why wasn't I invited?'.

This is the answer to those questions.

There's a load of conflicting information and hearsay throughout this thread. The end result seems to be nobody gets much and nobody knows where the cabs end up. A raid where the stuff would have been better preserved if nobody had actually done anything at all!

Always funny how magical figures spring up too. 60 euros a cab. 4k from Andy. 4.5k from Italy. What's next? 10k from JT or Arcade Warehouse I expect

Well the op has just phoned me saying someone in Italy has offered 4500 euros lol
I’m out - good luck guys

Andy
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.

Andy
AH yeah, very good point. Hadn't thought about it from that angle, don't blame you.

Glad it’s all done. I’ll just tell you the story of how at arrived at Andy’s door no opinions just cold hard facts

these "facts" now make less and less sense.

someone has gone back to the past and rewrote history.

Muddy music, agree with your post. But as for magical figures, I can 100% factually say these cabinets were going for appx 60 a pop, 1000 for appx 16 cabinets. That was the deal that was all set until people tried to undercut. I've been there from the start and know everything up until these deals with arcade club and Italy etc.

Everything looked set with Andy so I wouldn't blame g60hot for assuming it was a done thing.

What gets me is how someone from Italy got involved. Establishing who the op was surely can't have been done unless info was provided to them?

But hey, I'm just sounding off rather than wanting to poke the fire.

I don’t think they have I don’t think it’s a real offer, I think it’s the ops just trying to keep upping it.g60hot2018-10-22 15:49:23

cash is king and moving the cabs is a must A.S.A.P . top tip though buying cabs isn't always a steal whether it's 1 or 10
