Mamestrosity showcase cab updated!! (7/23/10...thinking of selling...)
hulkster:
sup everyone. it's been a LONG time since i posted about my cab that i created in 2004. its been sitting in my rec room at my house and getting used every so often. my son is now 2 years old, so all of my free time is gone basically...but now that he's getting a little older, i find myself with a little more each day. i'm sure that will go away as well eventually ;D
anyway, we recently decided to try to sell our house and move. as a result of trying to get the house cleaned up and "staged", i had to move my cab out of the house and back into the basement at my mom's house where it was built. whoa....yeah a little ironic dontcha think? i took it apart (as i designed it to be for easy moving) and i plan on reassembling it in my mom's basement so my nephews can play when they visit.
all of this moving of the arcade and whatnot got me thinking though...."what if our new house won't have room for my huge showcase cab?". so here i am...
i'm thinking of selling my Mamestrosity. i spent about $1500 on everything, so i would like to make around $2500 or so. anyway, i planned on taking whatever money i made on selling it and building a new upright cab to replace it ;D. so all is not lost, but i wanted to ask the opinion of everyone here on whether or not i should sell it.
ive learned a lot over time and i think whatever new cab i build will be much more professional and clean than my previous attempts. but i wont build a thing unless i can sell what i have. what do you guys think? sell or not to sell? :dunno

You spent $1500 but want $2500 back? :dizzy:
Did you get that the right way round? Either way I can't see it selling. If its worth that much to you then keep it.

took me 2-3 months to build....i thought that was worth SOMETHING. ;D maybe $2500 is a little much eh? what do you think it's worth then?

yeah they are really awesome if you have the room. golden tee, 4 player beatem ups, etc. i'm a fairly big guy (6'3" 220lbs) so i need my elbow room. plus they really aren't that difficult to build.
