Title: Check out the Arcade collection at my local consignment shop
Post by: ComputerAbuser on December 16, 2011, 01:22:45 pm: I was at a local consignment shop last night checking out an Armor Attack cabinet that I might buy for $50 and I noticed they had quite a collection.

The prices were not that great. Most were between $350 to $450 with Golden Tee 3D tagged at over $700.

check it.....

basically a flea market ;)

It's a place where people take stuff they have to sale, they still own the merchandise and the owners of the store get a percentage when it sells.

I second that! I'm in Oregon. Right side of the continent, wrong country. *Sigh*
Nothing arcade-ish happens around here!

Indeed. ;)

I ended up taking the Armor Attack after all. Seems like a pretty good deal. I wish I had the space to fix it up and keep it as is, sadly I am going to gut it, cut it up and re-make it into something new.

Will it take less space to 'gut it, cut it up and re-make it into something new' than it would to 'fix it up and keep it as it is'?

???

Post by: ComputerAbuser on December 19, 2011, 07:03:38 pm: Ya, I didn't think that would make anyone very happy.

I really only need the cabinet. I'm planning on selling the control panel, marquee and anything else that might be of use, so at least some parts will get a new lease on life.
