I had actually considered it, but:

1) They're all in michigan
2) I have no space
3) What would I do with 15 Ms Pac cabs?

If they end up in the trash can that is so sad.

Ditto, but I thought for $100.00 is only for 1 cab.
100.00 for 15 cabs, now thats a steal if you are local and have room. You can sell each for $25.00 and still make a little.

They sold for $127.50, I linked to the auction with 30 seconds and it was over before I finished reading this thread.  I actually thought about bidding for 1 second... that's about all the time I had.

Send a message to the ebay winner - they would probably let you have one cheap if they just got 15 or so..... can't hurt to ask...

Too far away for only one cab.  I needed all of them to make the trip worthwhile.

Too bad they are all so faded. Two-Bits side-art is so expensive it makes restoring these not worth it. I noticed there's a Galaga in this lot too.

Man I'd like to have one of those too.  Theres just no way I'd be able to make the trip from Cincinnati with being in school and working on the weekends.  But man I'd love to have one exspecially with just getting into arcade cabinets.  It would make a great project.  So yea someone grab one for me too.  ;)

THere isn't anything there to part out!

We discussed these cabs over on KLOV, but these days complete working Pac cabs sell for less than the cost of parts to build one up from a bare cab, so there is no real reason to build them up from bare cabs.

When mrreddog said "part out" I think he meant "if he his going to sell individual cabs out of the lot of 15"

But I could be wrong

So he's gonna rebuild all these cabs at a cost of about $600 each, and then sell each for $601.

WOOO!

Someone offered him 100$ for a bare-butt Pac cabinet, and that was the LOW offer? Holy cow, I have two in the basement right now. I'm sitting on an ever-lovin' GOLD MINE!!

I think he is marking it up very high cause he has a WANTER/BUYER. If no one had e-mailed him that they want some cabs, he probably sells it for $25.00 but he knows/got some ppl that want so the price is changed.
If someone offered me $100.00 for one, heck, I'll sell it to him quickly so that way I look at it as "I got 14 pac/galaga cabs for less than $20.00" or almost FREE.
