Title: So I'm continuing my obsess...er, quest to find a good cabinet.
Post by: knave on February 23, 2007, 01:37:04 pm
My low budget is really limiting me but I'm not too proud to offer less than asking. LOL

What do you guys think is a good price for a working Street Fighter II cab?

I don't know anything more than what is in the Pic and that the sellor says it works great.

I'm so new I'd rather let go of some ok deals rather than pay too much and be bitter about it later.

That monitor looks smallish, but I paid $300 for a fully working Street Fighter II cabinet. Here's a couple of pics:

My monitor is in GREAT condition though, so it was well worth the $300.

It is not uncommon to see a generic cab with a generic Jamma board to sell for less than $100. It depends on the seller though. Is he wanting to just get rid of it? In that case offer him the "$50 and I'll have my truck there in no time" and see what happens. If he isn't desperate, then with everything working completely I'd go as high as $150.

Looking at the cab more closely I compared it to some at KLOV.

It looks to be like this one:

There's no harm in offering them $50.  It's also a decent drive so Not having to go would br ok for me.  :) A whole day just to pick up a $50 cab...Sigh...

Thanks for the input.

Definitely don't drive all day to pick up a generic beat up cab. If you are willing to drive all day for one, then hit ebay and expand your search area. You'll find something much better in that range more than likely.
