Not to get too off topic here. Who the ---fudgesicle--- owns a white leather sofa and owns an arcade cabinet?

yeah looks bad but I dont think the price is unfair.
Considering I dumped over $100 just on my desk mod to make a CP, and have seen just the wood kits to build a cabinet go for $500+
This one has stuff with it already. Looks like a coin mech, cabinet, monitor, and a pc without a hdd, marquee work, lighting, wood looks finished, speakers + more. So this is like the ugly duckling, based a pure price vs what you get comparison it seems like a good deal.
I cant see any conceivable way to build this yourself for $300 or less unless you had most of the stuff already.
Just most people wouldnt be happy with it.
Id pick it up if I didnt have the diy attitude and stick it in the kids game room or something and let them have at it.
Plus im sure it could be fixed up with a different screen and encased property without too much effort.

But to be honest- our cabinets only look good to those of us in the hobby.
So don't be too harsh- whats gorgeous to you is ugly to someone else....

Ah, is that why I still don't have an arcade cabinet. I own a white leather sofa!

Ive seen much worse and have the seller asking for a lot more then $300. I think its a fair deal for someone who wants a mostly done cab and isn't too concerned with looks.
