Hey guys, I have the opportunity to buy a Lucky & Wild cabinet w/ working monitor steering wheel and good condition cab for $100. Only thing missing is the two guns for it. My plan is to turn the 2 person cabinet into a mame station where I can have drivers set up + light gun games (seems like the cab works for both perfectly) My only issue is...I live in Manhattan NYC hahah meaning I don't really have the room. I built my own showcase cabinet already that my girlfriend is ok with, but I dont really have the room for a 2 person sit down cab. My alternative is to keep it at my parents place, in the attic or basement as storage, and work on it here and there (hour and 1/2 away and only visit once every few months). The reality is this..I'm probably going to be living in the city for the next 2-3 years at least, and plan to one day move the cabinet to my future house' basement and set up my theater and arcade room down there. So, here I have the opportunity to get a good condition cab w/ working monitor for $100. Its almost like buying a project piece and sticking it in storage for a year or two, except its free to store . I need your advice...is it worth getting now at that price, or should I hold on and wait it out. I'm thinking if its a good deal now, I might as well grab something that's worth it now, and slowly work on it until I move to the burbs. Or, I just wait it out and see what I can get in a few years. I would really prefer to get a Lost World 2 person Cockpit cabinet or the Star Trek or Confidential Mission cabinet, as these are real dedicated 2 person sit down cockpit style cabinets with a giant Monitor. Let me know your opinion!

Deals will always be out there if you're patient. I would wait and get the cabinet you really want.
