I have been looking for a Neo Candy cab, but every one I find is in CA. I have never seen a Candy in my home state (Florida) and am about to give up hope of finding one.

There's a nice one on ebay right now, but it's in Cali and the shipping would make the whole deal worthless.

Anyone ever see a Candy for sale in Florida or Georgia?

Shipping from arcadestuff in California to my door in Texas was $94.29

It's really not that bad for shipping.

Really? My current cab cost $150 by Forward Air from Texas to Florida... I see a Candy on ebay now, but the shipping cost is not known, so I don't want to get screwed after I bid for it..

E-mail the guy selling it. Send him your zip code and he should get back to you shortly with a quote to where you are. There is no such thing as cheap shipping when it comes to arcade cabinets. I'm working on getting one sent from Singapore, (Taito Egret Mmmmmmmm <img src="graemlins/drool2.gif" border="0" alt="[Drool 2]" /> ) and I just know the shipping is going to break $200, maybe even $300. But you kinda' just have to bite the bullet on this. The only way your getting a cheap cab is if you go and pick it up yourself.

This was more of a motivational speech than anything. Just go for it, you'll thank yourself when it gets there.

They're all here because the largest Asian communities outside their respective countries are here, especially in LA.

Don't forget that the west coast is closer to Japan than the east coast.

And is this candy being sold by one of the Tao brothers?

Here's the link:

I really want a Candy to take the place of my dedicated cab as it would be a hell of a lot smaller, and this looks like a solid deal. Problem is, I don't want to get jacked on shipping.

Well, I emailed the seller, and he quoted me a shipping price of just over $200. Which is about what I thought... doesn't seem worth it to me.

If it was closer to $100 I would've "bought it now" already. :mad:

I was considering it, but I would prefer to sell it locally (Florida). It's a total pain in the ass to crate and ship it, and it would be expensive as the thing weighs a few hundred pounds.

If only I could find a Candy within driving distance. <img src="graemlins/ohno.gif" border="0" alt="[Oh No]" />

At least you get Candy cabs in the US, I've only ever seen one in the UK (and it was running Tekken 4)
