WOW estimate value of your arcade gears

..been looking @ some of my pcb's..and i notice i don't played them as much anymore( no time)
so i just add up all the $$$$$ i spend on them..after a bit i felt kinda sick of how much i spend on the pcb's( most of em i don't even play anymore...) .. WOW they do add up ...the most $$$ that have spend on the cart/pcb(not including harware like mobo,i/o, cab) was like $600(ketsui)..alot of my stuff(60%) are in the 100-300 mark..5%on the 300+ and the rest under <100(mostly mvs)

just to see what some of you have spend on your set up/ collection

In my lifetime I have spent at least 4 million dollars on Pcbs


My current collection only sits at $28,734 though

6 cabs

60 great pcbs and hardware

I got rid of what I did not play and I have bought many of the same game over and over again in the past 6 years.

The most I spent on a game was $2,600 on Guilty Gear XX at launch on Sega Naomi.

Over 1000 Emulated arcade games and ports LOL

proboably spent around $40K on my collection over the years.. cabs,PCBs and what not.. done alot of buisness around it tho so its not all loss.. id say im down about $6000 but i have a pretty sturdy collection of PCBs to show for it

to be able to afford what you want in this game you HAVE to do buisness on the side, im totally blue-collar workingclass otherwise so i dont have any vast riches in any hidden accounts.. unfortunatley

I'm at a 10K mark if I low ball my collection and price it to move if I ever needed the money.

I buy in bulk so I tend to have multiple copies of the same game at any given time so I sell off the copies to buy new games or to raise money. The lesson here is to make your games pay for themselves.

I'm only at the 1K mark with my 4 slot and games

Fuck it. There is no need to live any longer with the guilt guys....

put some of those goodies up for sale...

I'll be waiting

i been think about that lately... due to the multiple copy of certain game.....WTF was i thinking when i got em( it's like one of those ..put away thing's like buying all the part's for the Supergun..but you are too lazy/forgot to go buy the tools....i roginally was gonna get more cab's...then i relized i don't have the space for em ) i got 6+ copy of mvc 2 and i have 3 cab's ...but i'll only accept money order's...don't wanna get rape by ppal


i might sell every thing and buy a new car to show for it

In the past two years since my obsession started I have spend close to 1.5K...roughly.

I swear, you're the reason I can't afford this cart.

New Astro City cabinet - paid $400, worth $475

Sega Blast City cabinet - paid $275, worth $1500

CPS3 3rd Strike kit - paid $250, worth 500+

another CPS3 3rd Strike kit - paid $275, worth 500+


total = paid 1200, worth 2975

getting to play all these great cabs in the comfort of your own home - priceless

being a little sick at how much you've spent - again...priceless..::ouch, my stockmach::

Around the 2K mark.

New Astro cab
Awave: NGBC

I think I'm close to the $1,300 mark. This hobby is expensive! My other hobby is almost free (programming )

I only have 1 cab, but about 500 grand worth of games.
