My problem with the cookie cutter titles (and I've had a couple low end ones) is that I realize how much some idiot will pay me for them, and how I could have two other machines I liked just as much, pay off some bill, take my wife out to dinner, and chunk a little in the bank.

Well Jim... It's my money and I will spend it as I damn well please, you will also be happy to know I will make more as well. So with that said, get pissed at these numbers.
Monster Bash $4,700
Safe Cracker $4,300
Attack From Mars $5,000
Mame Cab with PC (around) $5,000
Not that it is any of your business but I figure why not get you really pissed and have something to post about right? :D
Better hide your wife, I'm sure she would love me! >:D
ps. Safe Cracker is far from cookie cutter, it's about as cookie cutter as a Big Band Bar.
Quality or Quantity in my arcade but to each his own... No reason to bag on anyone. Ya like what ya like... Plain and simple in my book.

They should have given you a price break on the AFM for those powder coated rails. Love the game (I own one), but those red rails are painful for me to look at.
Regardless, enjoy 'em, I know I would. :cheers:

I actually had the option to swap them out when I bought the game. Not sure if you would think different if you saw it in person but the pictures don't really do it justice IMO. The couple of my friends who have now seen and played the game really like the red, but that is all a matter of opinion.
I have since installed powder coated black legs which I think really makes it looks nice!
ChadTower:
I'm tempted to powdercoat the rails and lockdown bar on the Black Knight I'm doing. I'm on the fence about it.
Most I've ever spent on a game was $1200 - that includes Fathom, Revenge From Mars, and Twilight Zone. I'll end up a lot more than that into the Fathom once it is restored, though.

I can't believe you guys are giving him hell for spending his money. If he has it, then he can spend it on what he wants. Cost is relative to the size of your paycheck. To Visitor Q, $5k may be nothing. To me, $5k is an"OMG I can pay off all my debts and stop stressing" amount.
Not everyone wants to or needs to buy a junker and fix it up. Given the choice - I would MUCH rather buy minty HUO pins. I don't have the money, so I don't. Pin restoration is a major time investment. I did it once for the experience - I don't plan on doing it again. I would rather play the games.
Buy what you want dude, and enjoy it.
