I wouldn't bother with that one.  Once Particle board gets wet it slowly degrades to it's original chips of wood.  From the looks of the pics the water damage covers most if not all of the wood on the back.

While I agree with the general sentiment, many of classic cabinets that I have seen have had some degree of water damage ... many much worse than this ... and didn't simply crumble to dust.

Of course, the kickplate on my Galaga did break apart in my hands ...  ::)

Cheers

EDIT: I thin this is a drive over and have a look type of situation.

0 bids?  The auction sold for $495 and I offered it to a few members here in so cal for $300.00 before it went on ebay.

Had the members wanted it they could have definetly got it for $300 cleaned up it, plugged it in so it could be sold as working and resold it for a lot more than $300!!

So not sure what you mean about 0 bid auction links or how that's bothering members?   :dunno

I'm just trying to help out a few guys in get a good deal, but if you guys prefer I don't bother trying to help out fellow members than I won't post any more ebay links.  Since it wasn't against policy what's the big deal?

You completely missed the point I was making ... or perhaps you forgot that you posted the following:

Here is the same game after a little paint and the and art.

The $1,500 that you raved about here was a zero-bid, nobody-bought-it auction. Nobody bought it because the price was outageous!! You used it as a benchmark for the other auction.

THAT is what I was complaining about.

Every so often, someone without the benefit of experience posts about prices and what a great deal somethng is using a ridiculously-priced eBay auction as a reference (example here: your $1500 cabinet). It is misleading and could do harm to someody else, who also doesn't know what a reasonable price is, when they bid the original cabinet up to $700.

As I said, $300 ain't terrible and I explained why.

I also said that I have one of those Dynamo showcases. Mine has a *working* NAOMI GD-ROM running Virtua Tennis 2 (just a *little* bit rarer than MvC2), a beautiful bright monitor and no water damage. I paid about the same as the guy who bought the water-damaged one. Trust me when I say this -- there isn't a ton of money be made fixing that cab up ... unless you find that rare person who not only believes that it is worth $1500, but also has the cash to buy it. Since your $1500 guy didn't, I wouldn't hold my breath.

To sum up: The original aucton that you posted was great ... your hyping it into something it is not with a really bad zero-bid-no-sale eBay example is what I object to.

Cheers.
