i'd love to get a MVS 4-slot U4 :snif:
I don't have a cab, and I'm terribly envious of all you guys who do have them, but I'm considering picking one up. The inhibiting factor tends to be shipping... how did you guys ship your cabs? About how much did it cost? The local arcade operators/distributors in my city pretty much never touch home applications, so I'm stuck having to ship one in. I know at Coin-Op Express, shipping can be upwards of $1000US, which seems really, really high... What's the best way to ship these things?

The original SNK MV25UP model is my baby.
Old pic, took it a few minutes after lugging the damn thing upstairs to my apartment.
Have since sold Salamander 2 and replaced the buttons with Sanwa-ripoffs, player2 has a pink knob and matching buttons, had a switch done to be able to switch the harness pinout from jamma to mvs, as well as rigging up some buttons on the control panel behind the door with the coinmech.

I've never actually seen one of these... only the sketch at hardmvs. They are freaking awesome.

Ask around to see if there are any auctions within driving distance - that's how I got mine. You may spend a hundred bucks to rent a truck, but you'll get to see tons of cabs and you'll probably come back with something pretty nice.

I would never let Godzilla play my CandyCab! he may scratch it all up!
Man, your collection of candy cabs just rocks!
I wish I had one too, but since they weren't popular at all here in Spain, it's almost impossible to get one.

I don't have a candy cab - I've got a big red 6-slot. Since the guy just said he couldn't find a cab, I thought he'd be happy to get any kind of cab.
Anyway, in case you're wondering where I found my 6-slot - it was at an auction in Winston-Salem about 3 months ago. There were enough dirtbags there to fill an entire unemployment office, but there were also some really cool cabs. It was definitely worth the trip.

Got my cab (4 slot big red) from Auction Game Sales too, never heard you got a cab galfordo, got any pics. They're great to deal with, and of course what is for auction depends on what the ops bring but in my experience there are usually at least a few dedicated Neos and plenty of other stuff. Where do you live?

Here are the dates:

I definitely had a good time. The atmosphere is a little rough and the people are a bit on the trashy side, but that's all overshadowed by all the arcade goodness.
I saw about 6 Neo Geo machines when I went to the auction in Winston-Salem, but a couple of those were conversions.
There were tons of arcade games, and lots of other cool stuff as well. It's worth the trip just for the experience alone, even if you don't buy anything. However, I'd definitely bring a pickup or a cargo van just in case ...

Is it ran like a bidder auction or just and over sized flea market with vendors and booths?
How much should I expect to pay for a decided cab at the auction?
