Snaaake depends on the auction. Alot of times the bigger the cabinet the cheaper it goes for just cause no one wants to load the darn thing up. Case in point I got a working two monitor sit down with two great monitors for 115.00 heck the two WG 25" monitors were well woth that but no one wanted to bust it down and load it up in the snow. There are more collectors and operators at these auctions than Mame guys so the "junk" cabs that aren't classics or money makers go for less.

Snaake, If you need a cabinet, you should go to an auction. Non working games go for pennies..(I saw a non working MK3 in a cab that was in perfect condition go for $80).

Even better

I am never gonna buy any cabinet ever anyways because once i wanna move out i might have to sell the thing..now I wanna build one that comes with 2 pieces..easy to move around.
The prices sounds like a steal though :D.
If weather gets any better then we go pickup some cabs then mame/ebay them for some quick cash i guess(I got no spaces anyways :P).
