"similar aged game".  

How big of him to be "willing" to trade. My response would be "please don't go out of your way".

When you start at rock bottom of the WPC barrel any direction you look is going to be up.

I don't care what the guy writes, but to plainly lie about what the game would fetch to try and up your trade in value, is completely dishonest.

Didn't the last "rare" Popeye go for $400 in Toronto.

I hope they dont go for $500 I paid 1500 for mine !!

I'd buy a Popeye for that price.. My Daughter has been bugging me to get one for a few years now. She actually tried to convince me to trade our T2 for one she saw for sale in MN.

I wouldn't worry too much. It's not often that they sell that low. Popeye is a title that gets a lot of trash talk on how bad it is. Funny thing is, it's bad reputation is seldomly reflected in it's selling price. I guess it's the Popeye collectors and not pin collectors who are buying them up.

My recommendation is to just play the thing and enjoy it... Well, unless you bought to flip it, then I'd be a little worried.

I always thought it was called "POOP-eye".....as the name would compare to the game.
