Title: WTB - Empty Cabinet Near Detroit,Mi
Post by: SkateDetroit on February 02, 2004, 04:18:19 pm

     Looking for an empty cab near Detroit. I can pick up. Free is great, cheap is good as well. Let me know what you have, or I can come check it out myself.

Thanks in advance!  ;D

Hi,


You should check on ebay under arcade under Detroit. There is a guy in Bowling Green who always sells cabinets and they usually go for like $10. If not check with Delta8t8 he might have something he wants to sell.

I have been watching the Bowling Green guy on Ebay, too...His name is DiamondMine or Diamond something, I believe...

Has 2-3 cabs a week...sell for like $30-60 once bidding ends...

This is the seller, drmoonsparkle (http://cgi6.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewSellersOtherItems&userid=drmoonsparkle&include=0&since=-1&sort=3&rows=50)

I don't know anything about this seller, I haven't won any of their auctions, but they always have a lot of auctions going.

He's a decent bloke.  I got a coin door off him a while back, and he included an extra one.  Same model.  It was just the door itself, but hey, that was nice.

I've bought a couple of cabs from Dmoonsparkle, pretty nice guy. I'd do business with him again without hesitation. Of course I'm from Toledo, so its nice having a source of arcade parts 20 miles away.

From what I understand, he just bought a huge cache of parts from KY. Says he's going to be going through the parts for years.

He also sells directly. You can usually find him on alt.rec.arcade.marketplace

With guys like that you might not even have to wait for what you want to pop up on ebay. You should just ask if you can come by and buy something. That way you can choose your cabinet and get a good look at it before you buy.
