So a cab with artwork drawn in crayon, coin box drawn in crayon, tiny lcd, and a 60-1 is worth $600?

Yeah, that is a $200 cab.

While I do believe 600 is a bit high.  You have crayon confused with chalk it appears.  Others here have used chalkboard paint so their kids could draw it and such.  Just saying.   :dunno

Man, I have a Galaxian that I am willing to sell for $2500 or a C5 Corvette or newer.

Pfft.  $2,500 and you could leave with every single one of my MAME cabinets.  Another $2,500 and you could take all the pinballs, too.

Getting $2500 would be a loss for my mame cab, lol!  I have that in parts alone...

Post by: jennifer on November 07, 2014, 02:17:45 pm
    600 doesn't sound so out of line for that, It looks like a fun project cab.... I have only done the C/L thing once (just to see what I was missing) and was less than impressed, its not the way to find "Hot" deals IMO, But I did run into a forum member when I went to pick it up and Really had a good time.

so his licensed circuit board is more legal than MAME?
Title: Re: craigslist gem
Post by: pbj on November 07, 2014, 02:28:15 pm
Nobody cares about the legality, but MAME's kind of a dirty word amongst the casuals.  The damn things crash no matter how idiot proof you set them up.  Then you throw some cheap old computer in there and you end up with a buyer feeling screwed.

Sometimes you find a goody.  I'm not getting it but this just hit the Phoenix area...  $100 for Golden Tee.  Looks in good shape and apparently works.

Crazy that he paid $2k for it.. $750 is ok I guess.  Would have to spend some money to put in a bigger screen.

Yeah, I see those pop up on eBay all the time. Check out the bezel around the monitor. It makes it look like a 13" screen.

Actually its chaulkboard paint.  So you can write your high scores on it.   That's actually a really cool idea for friendly family competition.

An English Mark darts converted to a 60 in 1 all for a cool $650  :laugh2:

I actually like the Chalkboard idea !!!

I actually don't think it's a bad idea to convert the dart board cab, but you gotta do something with it…

STFU, n00b.

You ever seen a regular Neo Geo Gold? Those cabs deserve to be converted. Never been a fan of the shape.
