Title: Mame cab for sale in Washington State
Post by: Paladin on January 20, 2004, 01:57:42 pm
Well, I had a ton of fun making my Mame cabinet, but I never seem to use it.  Is anyone in Washington interested in one?  Make me an offer I can't refuse and it's yours.  You can see it at:
http://home.comcast.net/~dark.paladin/mame/index.htm

Some stats:
27" TV
TView Gold scan converter
IPac
PC with P3 500Mhz processor
Black laminate sides
Swapable control panel setup
8/4 way switchable joysticks

The only thing it needs is plexi in front of the monitor and a good home.  I can take more pictures and provide more information - just ask.

Almost forgot - this item is available for pickup only, no shipping.
Thanks for looking!

damn dude, thats kinda pricey.  i mean, unless you got some pimp ass cab, you probably wont get any buyers, unless they have no clue what they are doing and just want to play some arcade games.  500mhz???  geez.  you might want to drop the price if you are going to sell that thing.  (i live in TN and dont want to buy it, but i was just giving my opinion ;D ;D)

Hulkster is actually highlighting a different issue-- Selling a MAME cab on this forum is kind of like selling ice cubes to eskimos. You will probably get the price you are asking if you try to sell it to people who aren't into this hobby. Try a want ad or try to sell it to a friend. It'll probably be a better avenue for you.

yes thats a much better way of saying what i just did ;D  plus its a lot nicer ::)  go tell your friends or a co-worker about your hobby, and tell them how many games you can play on it, etc.  and if their eyes light up....hook line and sinker!
