WTB ToM or TOTAN (TSPP Sold)

[Bigbossfan]

Subject says it all folks. Know it's a long shot for one of these titles to come up, but figured what the hell!!

Would be interested in a mint HUO TSPP straight trade for a nice ToM, and of course TSPP + $$ for a nice TOTAN. I've had quite a few offers for the TSPP, but sitting on the fence about selling it outright. So, for the sake of anyone interested in the TSPP in a cash deal, I'd be looking to get $5500.00 firm.

Re: WTB - ToM

Fun game.. shallow or not.
I've also been looking for one since last Fall too. They don't pop up very often, and the few I have seen have been way overpriced.

Good luck.

I found 4 of them new homes last year TOM is a great game and IDGAF about it being shallow as the shots just flow so well.

Ya, but what have you done for me lately Mr Enabler??? Stop living in the past!

Thanks Adriano. Since playing Mike's ToM and TOTAN I'd be happy with either pin. ToM is within my price range now...TOTAN within a month or so. Unless of course, someone bites on my TSPP trade-bait!

Good luck with your hunt too bud!!

You mean draining you over $6k less then a month ago wasn't enough? :lol:

Hopefully your TSPP will get the attention or generate some other potentially interested trades.

Re: WTB - ToM

I'd be interested in buying tspp if you find someone that just wants a cash deal.

Re: WTB/WTT - Mint HUO TSPP for a ToM or TOTAN

Now changed to a WTT thread as well, including interest in a TOTAN

 

[Bigbossfan]

Well that was a short change!! TSPP is sold. Now strictly looking for a ToM or TOTAN for $$. No more trade bait!! :shock:

Congrats on the sale Reg.

TOMs were coming out of the woodwork when I posted a WTB a while back. Of course, everyone wanted stupid money for them, so I passed on at least two decent ones... but I'm surprised you haven't come across any yet. It seems to be a game that people eventually tire of and move. TOTAN, on the other hand, can be very tricky to locate around these parts unless you have deep pockets... and even then...

I have one but it's a project game and won't be in the restoration queue until my Cactus Canyon is done. I looked around for over a year and eventually settled for a decent container game.

Now... have you considered a nice XMLE instead? :lol:

 

[Bigbossfan]

Thanks Adriano.

Yes, the hunt is on...and it isn't easy! Having a hard time justifying to myself to pay so much for a pin that isn't NIB. Guess this is where the collector side of it comes in!!

Decisions decisions. I have a line on two VERY NICE TOTANs right now. Of course, along with the VERY NICE goes a VERY EXPENSIVE price!! :FP:

 

[DRANO]

Sadly, I think most JPOP games are way overvalued considering how shallow they are. I was able to grab mine off a container for about $5K. It needs some love but is essentially working.
I factored in what it would cost me to do a full blown restoration with restored cab, full brass plating inside and out from Mike Chestnut, new ramps and plastics and so on. I'll be somewhere in the $6500-$6700 range (not counting my labour of course). Most guys want north of $8K these days for what amounts to some very clean routed examples with a bit of bling added.
For that kind of money I'd expect a game with a lot more depth and in top condition. I love TOTAN but it's not what I would call a great value.

Hope you can find one for a reasonable price.

I passed on one that was being sold on maaca. It was originally Bally Boy aka Dans game. Nice but couldn't justify $8K. Decided to deposit on MMR instead unless I find a minty TAF first...both of those have more staying power I think.

Between the excellent advice posted on this thread and via PM with other board members, I've decided to not go after a TOTAN afterall. And given the length of this thread, have posted a new WTB thread strictly for a ToM. viewtopic.php?f=40&t=2690&p=22879#p22879

Admins, please lock this thread.

Many thanks!
