He's going to have a hard time getting $400 if he can't act convincingly like he knows what he is doing.  People pay more to folks that can give them some support if they get it home and it won't power up anymore.

Some teenage kid that doesn't know anything about fixing games and is clearly only throwing out a price he read on the innernets isn't going to get that same price unless he finds a really anxious buyer.

Well the Neo Geo is almost definitely dedicated. The same can't necessarily be said about the other two - especially the Combatribes.

You would be amazed ... I recently saw a NeoGo in a nice Millipede cab (sideart intact from what I saw) ....

Cheers
Well it's a big red 25" Neo Geo machine. I'm very much inclined to say it's dedicated even without seing a picture.

Oh sure, read the original post and then use it against me and my quick skim approach !

Got me.  :cheers:

...the cab had Nightmare in the Dark, a very rare and very expensive game, which can easily go for double or triple the price of the cab. 

Really?  I know where there is a copy of that...

Neo cart prices have nose dived in the last year or so... the price guides out there are all out of date.

So what store did you find these in?  Are you talking like a standard GoodWill or Salvation Army type place or something else?  I've never found anything decent in those type of places.
