(ME): How much are you asking for them? I can spread the word around…I know a friend who might get one …plus I thought about getting an empty  for my next Mame project

I think this is what "did ya in" . Seemed like a very anxious buyer to me

Yep, I agree. He probably would have let them go for less, but as soon as you showed serious interest, the price went up.

Walk away. There will be more. Or, he'll see the error in his ways and come down to a reasonable price.

I got my empty for free. I bought a Double Dragon cab for $250, and he threw in the empty for nothing. Rolling Thunder cab w/ no monitor, no buttons, joystick, boards, locks or power supply. Present were the bezel, marquee, control panel & coin doors & working mechs.

I'm in the middle of converting it now.

So call him back and say you are looking for ten and will pay $30 each.  He'll find them for you.

What likely did him in is that he did not say "I would like to buy them on <date> and will be there with a truck and cash in hand."  An op views anyone who isn't standing there with cash as a time waster.  Be there with truck and cash and you'll get what you want at a good price.  Cash speaks.  Phone calls don't.

Yeah, but you and I both know that in many cases the op is right. ;)
