Need Some Advice From The Pros

sstralkowski:
Ok as it is, I have an old Run N Gun as the starting point for my MAME.  But I found another cabinet (Simpsons) with a larger monitor and a better support system for a 4-player CP for fairly cheap.  It's not in great shape, but neither was the Run N Gun.  I'm working on a limited budget and with a very limited skill set here.  If my PC doesn't end up needing a ton of parts to get up to speed, then I could likely afford the new cabinet.  The problem would be that I'd end up with a bunch of extra parts.  So my questions are these. 

1) Would it be worth getting the Simpsons cabinet at all or do I have a pretty good base already? 

2) Is it fairly easy to get rid spare parts in the event I did buy the two? 

3) Would it help me fund this at all or is the demand for the extras I have too low?  I will end up with 2 Marquees, 2 Jamma boards, and an extra cabinet with doors and stuff, and a 19" monitor that has a bit of pink on the corner, plus maybe some other parts.   
Havok:
The Simpsons cab would definitely be a better choice for 4 player. eBay\Craigslist the duplicate stuff; should be fairly easy to sell.
sstralkowski:
Would the benefits be worht the $200 I'd be putting out?  Could I recover that perhaps? 
Havok:
You will most likely not be able to recover that much, but it might be close, depending on what the condition of the parts are (working, cracked, etc)
sstralkowski:
What's the best way to get rid of a spare cabinet?  Will the damage to the front right corner make it pretty much worthless?  It's rounded and a layer of the plywood has peeled off the corner in about a 4"x4" square.
