Title: Value of a 4 slot neo-geo cab?
Post by: cptnwhlz on June 07, 2009, 04:41:20 am
There is one up for sale nearby! It looks immaculate, comes with metal slug, kabuku klash, and metal slug, and he is asking for 500 dollars.
 Is this a good deal or about an average price? I would like to have an idea of what they go for before i try to haggle ;)  My favorite arcade games were always on the neo-geo cabs and im pretty close to selling the xbox 360 (bought it for fallout 3 pretty much)  to get my hands on one =)

I got mine for 350 canadian. 4 slot with 4 games. Mine was in awesome shape for it's age. I wouldn't say mine is immaculate though. If it's in near mint shape, 500 doesn't sound too bad to me. I'd offer 400.

The games it comes with affects price too... especially if they are original versus bootlegs.

If it's in Near perfect condition with original red vinyl no damage to the lettering and has all the trimmings (memory card reader, credit LED,) then Yes it's worth at least that much. Look on ebay people try and sell them there for 1200-1400.

hah, I dont know how i managed to put metal slug twice.  I think it had kof 99 or something.  So much for the preview button ><  Doesnt matter anymore anyway as I spent all my money on a bed!

I sold my restored 4 slot cab with a 2 slot mobo and like 15 games for $650 US, nobody seemed to want it, I didnt wanna sell it, but I needed the money for car repairs. I regret it to this day. It was damn near mint condition and I even got NOS credit LEDs
