Hi.

Got an offer on one of these. The cab is in working condition (everything works ok) with few scratches here and there. What would you say about the price? Any typical problems/faults with this cabinet?

Please, all info highly appreciated :)

Tough to answer with limited details.  What do you want it for?

If you are looking for it’s cabinet, monitor and control panel to build a MAME cabinet, I’d say 600 is not a good price.

If this just happens to be ‘a’ machine that became available to you, 600 is not a good price.

Are you looking to keep the game as is and play it?  Were you seeking this particular game?

Does it have any sentimental value?  As in…Are you a hockey fan? Is Gretzky your favorite player?  Did you play this with your [dad/friends/brothers/etc.] as a kid?

If no, and you don’t have a disposable income, this probably isn’t a good price.

These are the best answers.  Nothing to add.

Ok, thanks guys for your input on this  :notworthy: I guess I'll leave the cab for someone else or try to get the price significantly lower  :cheers:

If you like hockey, specifically this game, its a fair price.  If you plan to MAME this cab or convert it to something else, the price is a little high.

I like hockey, but even in minty condition, I wouldnt pay more than 450 for a Gretzky, NHL Open Ice is the superior game.
If you're replying to a troll you are part of the problem.
I also need to follow this advice. Ignore or report, don't reply.
