Hello everyone!

As some of you know, I have been in the Market for a Neo Geo MVS Arcade System for quite some time now.

Well, I found one.......Now I need your Opinions if I should buy this Neo Geo Arcade Cabinet! This is what it is :

Neo Geo 1 Slot MVS Arcade Cabinet :
- Standing up, not Sitting Down version
- Monitor has a couple of light "Fingerprint"-Like Plastic Smudges on the EDGE of the Whole Glass Screen, much farther away than the Monitor Picture behind the Glass.
- ALL The Buttons Work Fine
- Nothing seems to be Cracked
- The Stick is the "Bat" Style
- The Stick has just the right amount of Use on it, making it easy to use
- There seems to be NO Rust at all
- Comes with KOF '98 MVS Cart

The Whole thing would cost $700 Cdn. ( $437 US )

Now I have tried to put together how much it would cost to buy everything separately online, and this what I came up with :

$110 - 1 Slot Motherboard
$100 - Twin MAS Sticks
$200 - Supergun
$80 - Monitor
$60 - KOF '98
----------
$550 TOTAL

I think I even put some prices in too low ( Sticks, Monitor, KOF ), so I'm not sure about that....

And even on top of ALL That, I would have to pay Shipping Costs ( :eek: ) and Duty Fees ( Customs ) for the Insurance! ( :eek: :eek: )
But the Guy I would buy it from could just get a U-Haul, and that would be WAY Cheaper!

Now I ask you, would this be worth it? And if so, by how much? I am very excited, but I am very nervous as well, as I don't want to get screwed.

EVERYBODY PLEASE RESPOND!!!!

sounds pretty good to me .
just make sure it is what you want ?
to some people it would be worth more and to others less.
but generally speaking the price sounds very good.
my candy was 235.00 from arcade-infinity
but I had to ship it and I already had my mv1f board .. so based on the cost of a cab and all the pieces that price sounds right to me.

You could get away with a super gun and a used 1 slot for something like 400-450$

If you already have a good tv with s-video input, this can be a cheaper way to play mvs at home.
