Pick any 5 for 1,000.

Right now, not a whole lot more.  The market is dead, Jim.

I really wish people in this area didn't think their cabs were worth thousands for a single cabinet...  It seems that cabinet prices are greatly inflated in the DFW area.

This would be a great buy and could provide years of restoration fun, but I just don't have the money nor the room for them all. :(  I'd see about taking the Virtua Cop cabinet as a single, but he's probably asking an arm/leg for it.

Considering he is offering 5 for $1000, I'll bet he'll consider other offers too. Like 2 for $500 or something. Worth a shot for the Tron too.

Only one I'd want is the Tron. But it would be worth it for 1500. The resale of the rest would make up the cost. I don't live there, though. And I don't have the room to house them in the mean time.

Edit - oh, wait, and the Asteroids Deluxe. That costs more than half the whole lot.

This deal is in Texas where there is no shortage of project games and it isn't going to change any time soon.
