Snarbald:
I wouldn't pay a hundred bucks for it then.

Well the control panel overlay looks pretty beat up, but the rest looks decent in the picture. Still, $100 for a semi-generic cabinet without working monitor seems like alot. If you don't want the monitor anyways, ask him what you can get for it without it. Maybe he'll drop the price some. If the MVS board is still in there and working then that board is worth something. If he can't verify that it works, though, you should probably assume it doesn't.

I guess it also depends on where you live, and how likely you are to find a cabinet. If the cost of driving around looking for a cabinet (not so much in terms of money but in terms of time) is more then what he is asking and you feel the cab will suit your purpose then that's one thing. However, I do agree that $100 seems like a lot for an empty cab. :)

I live in Seattle so I'm guessing the chances of finding something better are fairly good, but this was the best I found so far. I agree that the price seemed a bit high (hey actually quoted me $90). I was looking in the $25 - $50 range, but I was also expecting to get something completely gutted. I'll probably go take a look at it still, but I'll certainly keep my eyes open. My search has only just begun.

If the monitor is not repairable, then this guy is basically using you as an easy alternative to having to drive to the dump to ditch the dead monitor. ;D Imagine this cabinet with NO monitor in it. It's basically an empty hulk. When you look at it that way, you can see that $100 is a bit steep.
