Hey guys,
Is this a good deal??
$1295

I love the cabinet style and from the pictures it seems to be in good shape.

What do you think??

I wouldnt say its a ripoff, but it seems like top dollar price.  I think it might be better to shop for those items separately at that price.  Find a good candy cab you like for 6-700, and then buy MvC2 separate.  Basically the price is not a bargain at all, and if you bought the items separately you would be spending the same amount, even cheaper if you found deals.

if youre Kaneda rich, go for it!

Seems a bit pricey, my top to pay for that would be about 900 (USD) if its in tiptop shape

Those are nice but heavy as hell, great game though.

I would say $1K max if it just needs some cleaning and is 100% functional, if it's banged up then more like $750.

I have seen a few go for about half of that sellers asking price in my area but prices can be a bit region based.

Marvel cart is ~$150-200
Naomi PCB is ~$60-70
Capcom I/O is ~$120
Astro City in that condition is ~$450

Even on the high side of what I feel things are worth, it's still a bit overpriced.

Of course, things may be more valuable in Canada, as they may not be as readily available.
