Title: Machine in CA going for $1 on Ebay (with monitor)
Post by: AlanS17 on July 04, 2003, 11:09:55 pm

Saw this auction on Ebay. It's got a few days left on it. There's no reserve, though. I don't think there will be many hits from non-MAMErs, either, because of the way the auction is worded.

good find, but it's in the middle of no where. 40 miles out of LA, on your way to SF.

I'm sure that it'll go for more than a buck but they don't do much to show you how it's a MAME machine other than the fact that you can convert it yourself.

It's a nice original SF style cab. The CP is metal and can be drilled for the 6 buttons.

its alot more than 40 miles from LA. el cajon is east of san diego(also in the middle of no where) but still might be worth the drive if it stays cheap enough.

What I meant was that it's advertised as a MAMEable machine, not a cabinet for other games. So there*may* be less traffic and competition from traditional arcade machine collectors. The thing seems to be in pretty good condition too.

If nobody minds i would like to go for it, but it would be a shame to be out bid by somebody on this board.
