Guys,

I am not new to the neo-geo.com but new to posting. I have the opportunity to purchase a Pony Mark IV Cab for $800. What do you guys think about the price? It looks in excellent shape and it is currently being used to play MAME.

thanks for advance for any suggestions.

Alfonso

No way, those Jaleco pony cabs aren't that great. $400 or less is fair.
I actually like Pony cabs, and even I wouldn't pay $500 for one.


If the thing was dead mint, and you REALLY wanted it, maybe $450 max. On ebay that cab would go for $300.

People selling "MAME" cabs try to screw the uneducated with high prices.

ResO Thanks for your feedback. It seem really high to me too. I don't really care about the ability to play Mame anyway. I just want to play MVS Neo Geo games. I am looking for a sitdown candy cab in texas. If anyone knows of one for sell please let me know.

here is the link to the pony mark iv on Dallas craigslist.

How did you get $800 from that? Sounds like he's looking for about $400 in stuff.
I'd trade a shitty 80gb PS3 for that cab.

When I emailed him about it he told me that he wanted cash and that he wanted $800 firm. Not sure why he stated a trade?

Tell him you'll get him an 80gb PS3. He asked for it, it's less than $400.
If he wants $800, he'll need to list a new ad.

In all due respect, $400 is fair, and his listing sounds like he's asking for about that.


Then again, that cab has american sticks in it, and you'll probably want to swap those out for Sanwa's, which will probably cost you $50.

What!?! That's great!

I don't understand the seller's reasoning AT ALL, but it seemed to have worked out in your favor. Be sure to post some pics in the Candy Cab thread.
