how much $ should I pay for a golden axe cab
Shape D.:
So I'm working my part time job on Saturday delivering pizza. I take a delivery to a hotel in a part of it that I havent been to before. As I'm walking back I see a control panel sticking out in this alcove, so after I deliver the food I go to check out what game it is. To my suprize it "Golden Axe" my second favorite arcade game ever. Unfortunatley it wasn't working. So I go ask the guy at the front counter if It was just turned off or if it was out of order, Acording to him it's been broken for about a year. I want to buy this cab but I have no clue what to offer for it, or if I can even repair it because they don't know whats wrong with it. should I get it? And if I try to how much should I pay for it. I just want to offer him $50 if its been sitting there for a year.
SirPeale:
Yeah, that's about right.
He may not even own the machine, it may be owned by a vending company. Although if it's been that way for a year that may be unlikely.
RayB:
Find out what's wrong. If the monitor is dead, that's 80% of the cab's value right there. Also, Golden Axe was for the most part a conversion kit. So this cab is really older than Golden Axe is. Maybe take your chances, offer $50-$75 without knowing what's wrong. Cash n carry...
(Also, you should know that GA is a "system 16" game and does not conform to the JAMMA standard. If you want to use this for MAME, you can't use a JPAC...)

Nope, I just want to fix it and own it. It's shape wierd though the one on klov looks like a standad cab. the one I saw sort of has the monitor seperated from the body of the cab by a wooden thing that comes up there. ( I apologise for the technical speak in the previous sentence.)
fredster:
See if he'll give it to you if you pick it up first. If not, start with $25, cash.
the worst he can say is "no".
Most of the Golden Ax machine I saw had the monitor mounted up like that.
