15 Pac cabs! That's quite a haul!

SkateDetroit · « **Reply #1 on:** February 26, 2005, 01:52:50 am »

To bad their all empty

I was ready to go for it!

SirPeale · « **Reply #2 on:** February 26, 2005, 08:10:44 am »

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?

Bones · « **Reply #3 on:** February 26, 2005, 08:18:27 am »

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.

Crazy Cooter · « **Reply #7 on:** February 26, 2005, 10:32:35 am »

I had that bookmarked.

I overslept.

I was going to bid.

Silver · « **Reply #8 on:** February 26, 2005, 10:40:16 am »

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...

daywane · « **Reply #9 on:** February 26, 2005, 11:07:56 am »

I did
waiting for reply

Crazy Cooter · « **Reply #10 on:** February 26, 2005, 11:24:05 am »

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

Yander · « **Reply #11 on:** February 26, 2005, 12:19:20 pm »

MAn thats like 15 minutes away tops. Myabe I should try to snag one.

RayB · « **Reply #12 on:** February 26, 2005, 01:27:07 pm »

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.

daywane · « **Reply #13 on:** February 26, 2005, 02:10:48 pm »

He is getting swamped by emails.
he has conteacted me. i might get 2 . He wants to look at them 1st
I asked for a MsPac and Super Pac

long trip but I realy want a Mspac. I allready have the front art work and the paint. I will try to hand paint the side art.
Thats if he even sells any.

Crazy Cooter · « **Reply #14 on:** February 26, 2005, 03:04:34 pm »

There's a whole tutorial on painting the sideart on the mspac machines.

tommy · « **Reply #15 on:** February 26, 2005, 03:05:30 pm »

Hey somebody grab a mrs pac for me, ill trade

Jilldo33 · « **Reply #16 on:** February 26, 2005, 10:32:17 pm »

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.

This is true. I just never really have a whole day to take off and go get one.

mrreddog · « **Reply #19 on:** February 27, 2005, 12:22:34 pm »

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

daywane · « **Reply #23 on:** February 28, 2005, 03:43:05 pm »

I talked to him again today. well... scratch me out. I offerd yesterday $35.00 a cab ... today I emailed him again and got this

Dave

Hello, I did not answer your last email because I have been busy, sorry. I have had 6 or 7 emails from people wanting cabinets from me and im not sure what im going to do yet with them all.. I really want to put them back together for our own use, but we

RayB · « **Reply #24 on:** February 28, 2005, 07:29:04 pm »

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

WOOO!

tommy · « **Reply #25 on:** February 28, 2005, 07:42:08 pm »

I think hes just saying in a nice way to take a hike

mrreddog · « **Reply #26 on:** February 28, 2005, 09:04:15 pm »

man thats alot of $ and work if he is gonna restore all of them,,,,,yes i meant seperate them.......oh well.....

APFelon · « **Reply #27 on:** February 28, 2005, 09:18:47 pm »

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.
