Ya, unless you got to see it first, that looks risky even for $150.  No picture, seller knows nothing about it...

Is it just me or does that thing look lopsided? Pretty rough for $150.

Looks like it would be a lot easier/cheaper to build one yourself rather than fix this rusted rats nest.

I agree with Mr. Patrick. He knows a thing or two about building Galaga cabinets and raising giant cats.

I live in michigan to and we don't really have much of an arcade scene.  I found a great deal for a galapus that was in a near perfect tron but I think the seller removed it before I got a chance to jump on it.

A lot of areas aren't like that.  You can't get jack on the Boston or Providence Craigslist without being around to respond in the first 30 seconds at any given time.

Or, they just don't show up. In upstate New York, there is nothing - I have RSS feeds going on the slim chance there is. Every once in a long while something pops up, but it's usually crap. Rochester and Buffalo get a lot, but it's just like Chad said - if you aren't sitting right there when it's posted, it's gone before you see the listing...

Cool site but I couldn't get it to work all the way.  I would choose my cities, enter a search, and the catagory and when I hit search all that could come up is the front pages of the CL in the cities I chose.  It would not run the search...

...Anyone else?

I can't get it to work either.  I even tried areas where I knew that there should be a few cabs.  Then I was looking on the site and I found the following information...

GOOD NEWS, NO MORE CRAIGSLIST HOMEPAGES FOR RESULTS!!
learn more ->

if you're using the excellent web developer firefox extension then simply go to the disable menu and "Disable Referrers". if you don't have that extension you can go to the location bar in firefox and type "about:config" and hit return. there will be a window with a bunch of stuff, in the filter field type "sendrefer" this will reduce the big list to network.http.sendRefererHeader. click on that row, and change the 2 to 1 or 0 (1 will send the referrer to a site when you click on a link only, 0 will not send any referrer information -- thanks to brian for the about:config tip!). If you're using Opera you can alter this setting as well. in the location bar in type "opera:config", then type "referrer" in the search box, uncheck the enable referrer setting, and search like a madman! If you're using IE, delete it and use anything else ;)

Just do a search for whatever parameters you are looking for, and scroll down. In the lower right corner, there is a RSS text highlighted. Right-click on that, select copy shortcut, and paste into your favorite RSS reader...

Try it with Firefox, It works great. Or read at the top about the issue with IE.
