In my impatient search for a Punch-Out I'm considering shipping in a game. How's this sound? Am I best to wait out the local market? The deal I'm getting from the guy is $600 with shipping included from New Jersey.
Now, it's 100% functional, but the joystick is sloppy and the monitors both need to be capped. I'd probably also toss in new art, but it's not necessary. I figure I'd be around $700 total to have a new looking machine that plays well. The upside is that I'll have it now and I don't need to keep waiting out the local scene, but the downside is that I feel like I could get one for around $500 with a bit more patience.
Decisions, decisions, decisions...
Oh, and there's also the factor that my firstborn is due April 28th, so coming by the extra money after that point will be a bit harder as our days of a dual-income family will be ending.
