Title: Is this a fair price for this game
Post by: muell67 on December 26, 2004, 10:54:40 pm
Ive been searching for a mortal kombat style cab everywhere and so far this is the best Ive come up with nearby. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=6139394442&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT
I was the high bidder but I didnt even come close to the reserve. The owner of it says he will sell it to me for $575 because I was the high bidder. Im going to mame it so I have no interest in the game anyone know what it will resell for? Will this monitor work ok with a arcadevga and mame?
Theres a superauction in my area at the end of january should I wait for it? Do cabs like this usually show up at good prices?

Thanks, and sorry about posting twice in a row.

I would say you're not getting a good deal if you're just looking for an empty cabinet.  Yes, the monitor and controls may all be there, but nearly $600 for a cabinet you're just going to empty?  No way.

Where are you located?

southern il. near st. louis Mo.
I figured that was a bad deal I just cant seem to be able to find someone selling this type of cabinet for a decent price. Ive been looking for a few months now. ebay, here, local classifieds.
