Subject: Classic Arcade Gum Collection........
Step right up......I have gum which has been scraped from every
classic game that I have owned. Yes, that's right.....we're
talking robotron, sinistar, joust, joust 2......and oh
yeah....even that hard to find gum from games such as major
havoc, tempest, star trek, and yes....even a sitdown star wars
and return of the jedi.......that's right!!!!!!.......You heard
me right....sitdown star wars and return of the jedi........I am
offering this as a package deal of 1,000.00 dollars or you tell
me what game you want the game from and I will individually
package it in a zip lock bag for you and give you a signed letter
of authenticity.....that's right!!!!!!!! You read
correctly.......I will throw in a letter of authenticity stating
that the gum was scraped off that game........Now to be fair, if
I get more than 10 people wanting the same clump of gum......I
may have to cut the gum up so that everyone gets a chance to have
a piece of history.....each piece comes numbered and
sealed.......so those of you who order first.....will get a lower
numbered piece.......Due to the high request I expect........If
you are not buying the total packages of gum........I must limit
your purchase to three bags of gum from the same game......
Ok people......place your orders now!!!!!!!!!!!
