First thing I have to say is, never deal with Chattanooga Pinball, choochoopinball on ebay.
Well after reading CUSTOM NES GUY 's post about getting a PC10 I thought I would show my neglected cab some love. First order was to get a new reset button as it was broken when I bought it ~3 years ago. So I found a guy that had a button and some games I didn't have, Excitebike, Tennis and 1942 for $70. Then I found a Contra topper on eBay and they also had Rad Racer so I bought those for $30 cause I really wanted that Contra topper.
Then I found a lot of 10 games and a Dual Monitor board with a BIN of $330 OBO free shipping. The game lot included Metroid but the listing said they had 3 sets available so I asked if I would get the games listed. They said yes so I made my offer and they accepted. A week later I get the Main board crammed in a flat rate box that it did not completely fit into and game boards rattling around. I open it and start pulling games off the board and realize NOT the right games. Long story short after 3 weeks of phone/email tag they do not have any copies of Metroid. They said they would make it up to me and throw in some toppers that I got to choose. I finally got the package today only to find that my mail person lovingly crammed it into my mailbox instead of getting out of the truck to put it on my porch. The games I ended up getting are: Trojan, Rygar, The Goonies, Gradius, SMB2, Rush n Attack, Gauntlet, Baseball, Ninja Gaiden and PinBot. The toppers you have to see for your self and only one of them is missing the game and you can guess which.
But after all that I got a great deal.
Rush n Attack is for sale.
____________________________________
Since I have sold SMB2 for $40 and the Dual monitor board for $68 plus Mario Bros I have ajusted the price that i paid for the lot. I originally paid $250 for all of that stuff, now minus the $108 I got back I have only paid $142 for the lot
abd I still have Rush n Attack to sell.
The main reason I am adding to this topic is I just got a copy of Volleyball. I caught it on ebay the first day and was the first to bid on it but for the hell of it I asked if he wanted to add a BIN. He asked me how much and I offered $50 plus shipping again for the hell of it cause I figured he knew its value but this was a good time to be wrong. He accepted but my only problem now was I had to go to the funeral home for my Great Uncle that just passed away. After freaking about losing the deal I told my friend to watch my email and ebay accounts and text me what he says. I also took my iPod touch with me just in case they had wifi, which they did but it had a WEP key. Then I went to diner they had wifi and a couple surrounding places did too but all had passwords. The guy emailed me his phone # but that was useless if I could not pay immediately. As soon as I pulled in my drive way I pull out the ipod and check ebay, F*** some body out bid me and the auction was at $51. So I call the guy and he said sorry to hear about your Uncle and they he say some one outbid me. He then tells me to out bid the guy and he will end the auction and relist it at $55 shipped. I bid $100 and it was at $92 and now I'm just like great I'm going to pay $92 because I didn't have internet access. So he ends the auction and gives me the id to the new listing and it has the $55 we agreed upon, SWEET! He asked if there was any other that i wanted and I said I would be glad to buy some more games from you, he reads the list of what he's got and I had all those. So now i feel bad i could buy more games from him so going to promote him here.

Then I bought 2 games, Double Dragon and Golf, from gametimevault on ebay and had to pay $8 shipping. I get the package and its a plain bubble mailer with the 2 games on top of each other and nothing between them. Needless to say they were scratched to hell and one had bit rot when they were stated as working. I tell him and he said he would not do a partial refund, which they were 2 separate auctions but combined ship price, and I would have to pay to ship them back. So I filled with ebay and they got it to where I just had to send the one back and I would get some of the shipping price back. If I ship it back I am out some money because of his mistake and nothing to show for it. I just got a EPROM burner for free from loopy so I am debating if I should send the game back. Either way he is getting negative feedback for shitty careless shipping.

I now have every game to my toppers. I picked up Metroid and Fester's Quest for $78 shipped and got to use my $8.11 in eBay bucks that I earned by buying most of the above games. I got them and they were shipped properly and they worked so I was happy that nothing went wrong this time.
I am now at 34 games putting me at $1041 spent on my collection including cab that had 10 games, the other 24 games, 5 broken guns, and other parts.

...On the other hand, that Metroid sign is pretty valuable. I doubt it would bring as much every time, but I saw it sell around $300 once on ebay.
For just the sign? I am thinking about using another account to buy another set and file a SNAD with ebay to get the games to sell for profit and get a refund. They claimed Metroid could have been stollen given its size and people browse their inventory.
I forgot to mention the Dual monitor main board is for sale though, but I can't test it as I have a single monitor.
I just realized something, half the games I have for my PC10 I have never played on the NES, 20 years later and I am still using it to "try out" games for the NES. Also that in my lot Punch-Out is the only topper that does not say new.
PM sent for Mario 2.
Thanks!
Is there a list of all of the toppers made for the PC-10, as well as the games?
Thanks!

The Faux Marquees aren't real, so you can ignore those.
