At the last Superauctions in Dallas there was a guy who brought 6-7 of those. There were working and all had games in them. None of the sold because he had a reserve of $750/game. They are from Blockbuster Video Blockparty. Blockparties were a "indoor theme park" with video games, virtual reality stuff etc. Heres a short article on them: http://static.highbeam.com/t/tcitheatrecraftsinternational/october011995/blockpartyblockbusterentertainmentsindoorthemepark/ |

The shipping is as much as the cabinet itself ::) |

I hate people how have a reserve... but don't mention it... --- End quote --- I've bought stuff (cabs) from him at .99. I doubt it was a reserve issue, but I suppose it could have been. I've never had a problem with him, but everyone has off days. May be that was one of his (or maybe I just catch him on good days) I'd have to also think shipping to CO, is going to be killer, though. |

Thanks for all the replies so far. Shipping would be $160 to my door. Yeah, that's a lot, but if I decide I can handle the style (haven't made up my mind yet), it may still be cheaper than what I was going to spend building. -foomench |

Well, unless you too were planning on molding some sorta fiberglass cab like this, there's no way it could possibly be cheaper. Just counting the wood and screws, a normal MDF/particle board cabinet doesn't have but about $50 wortha material in it. Another $20 for paint. T-molding, marquee light, plus acrylic for monitor glass & marquee and you've got the equivelent empty shell ready for electronics and you're still under the $130.00 starting price. Before shipping. Not that this thing isn't sorta cool. Donno if I'd want one for myself, but I do like it. |
