So lame

Somewhere for the annoying and/or off-topic threads to go. Feel free to post about whatever, but abuse will still be dealt with, and possibly with more force. Especially pac-porno. ;)

So lame

Post by zlk »

Jbd notifies me that a store in Arizona has a donpachi PCB with the marquee. The machine was recently moved out of the store, so I try to track down who bought it. I thought maybe I could make the person an offer to get the PBC and marquee.

I call the store and they tell me they rent their machines from some company which I shall not name. I call up the company, ask about the machine and get an interesting response:

"We just operate our machines. We do not sell anything."

I tried to explain that I would be willing to pay quite a bit of money for the machine, more than they could ever hope to make renting it out.

"This is impossible. We just operate our machines. We do not sell anything."

I am annoyed, but perhaps I could find out where they got their machine from:

"Just check the internet for distributors. I can not tell you where we got the machine, it is confidential."

I then again tried to emphasize that I could make it worth their while to sell me the machine, but it was like I was talking to a brick wall. They won't sell. They won't even tell me where they got the machine from.
