I'd offer $50 since the MDS isn't going with it. The art is damaged, the coin mechs are broken, and the monitor is giving out. |

I think $50-$75 is fair, but I expect he'll want more. When negotiating, though, don't make the first offer. If he wants to sell it then let him make the offer. Then work down from there. Your chance of getting another cab is better than his chance of selling it for alot. |

Anyways, I offered the guy $50 for it. That's about all I'm willing to pay. Thanks for the input fellas. I'll let you know if I et it... |

Not thread-crapping, just wondering, in my area cabs are very scarce. Is that not a factor in negotiating? Supply and demand? I think from the photos that even up to $100 would be reasonable for that particular cab in my part of the US. What did you guys pay for your cabs and what shape were they in? I traded a MAME Romset (7 DVDs) for my mostly empty Food Fight converted to Rygar cabinet and I feel I was damn lucky to get out that cheaply! I was in the only Pinball/Arcade refurb shop here in Lou. KY. today and the guy there said he wasn't selling any of his cabs. My second batch of cabs I got from an independant operator I met at the laundromat. I averaged $50 a cab for the ones I bought from him not including the working Nintendo Vs cocktails he was going to auction in Knoxville. HMMM, auction in Oct. Time to make a call!! ARCADIAC! |

If I'm patient, I can find someone dumping cabinets and get them for free or next to nothing. I went to an auction about 6 months ago and picked up 3 cabs for a total of $16. Two had PCB's in them (SF II and Breakthru). The only reason I was willing to pay $50 for this cab is that it's prewired. |
