Hi!
I'm going to Japan in few weeks on a business trip and I'm planning to
pick up some cabs there myself. I had few people interested, that I sold items to
in the past, and I want to purchase enough for container load.
I want to find out if anyone else will be interested, so we can all save on shipping if I will have enough people for container load.
I have feedback of 918 on Ebay, you can check my profile here:
http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback&userid=jl2002_jk&ssPageName=STRK:ME:UFS

So, if you are interested, please post your reply here with a reasonable price and cabinet that you would like.
Kind Regards,
JL

As I understand after speaking to a friend of mine there, shipping price per container load is about $2000-$2500 , so let's say it can hold about 20 cabs, than
shipping price will be $200 or so per cab, instead of $800 per single cabinet.
as for cabinet prices, from what he told me, you can get a cab from $200 and up, depends on the cabinet condition and brand, of course if you want an atomiswave cabinet it will not cost $200 .
So, that is why I want to know what people want and what are you willing to pay,
to see if its doable, because unfortunatelly there is not a lot of resellers on the east cost, none that I know of :mad:

Matsu's got a bunch of Astro City cabs available on hand at his warehouse,and since you're located in SoCal,this may be a better option for you. That way,you can just go over to his warehouse and pick out a nice one for yourself.

BTW,the Astro City cabs are $400 through Matsu.

Indeed,Matsu is the man when it comes to candy cabs.

The AW cab is really nice. It's got a multi-sync monitor which provides a super-clean picture for all three resolution modes.

If you're an AV nut such as myself,you can't go wrong with this baby.

well, I just got email from my friend there,
here is a list of prices to be expected:
astro city is about $180-$300
neo candy is about $300-$500
I can get Brand New atomiswave sd for about $1100 single player $1300 2 player (if purchased at the wholesale amount),
now capcom mini cute is hard to come by, so prices to be expected around $400-$600.
Please keep in mind that this is just a rough estimate, I'm sure I can get even better price if purchased in bulk from supplier per container load.
Also, make sure that you understand that shipping price is not included, which is approximately about $200 just to get it from Japan to US , so on the average I guess you will be looking to spend around $400-$600 per cabinet, if you are local to me.
I might be selling my own super neo 29 cab with 4 slot, cps2 ready before I will go, just to raise some extra funds, since I will be picking new cab anyway.
So let me know, if anybody interested.
Regards,
JL
