Expensive Ass Cabinet

I emailed this seller and he told me that I could have this cab for 1450 dollars, that includes shipping.

Even if the shipping is 450 bucks, is this cab REALLY worth a grand?

That seems slightly steep to me. I was figuring 600-700 for the cab, and about 350 for shipping.

Also it has SS in it.

Comments?

damn. i was hoping to see pics of an ass cabinet. <IMG SRC="smilies/envy.gif" border="0">

yeah, i'd say that's a bit pricey. a lot of these guys that are retiring their machines from their routes place large values on these cabs. i was going back and forth with some guy over a 1 slot machine where he wanted $800 for it.

keep looking, that guy's nuts.

That is way over priced for a 4 slot. A local guy here has, or had, a 4 slot for 600 in very good condition. Tell him he better be including a fuck load of MVS carts with that deal.

It looks nice but he dosent really talk about the condition at all! Like how many fag burns, beer stains, bangs, chips etc, etc.
Seems like a lot of money for an unknown quantity!
I'd want to spend at least an hour inspecting it in person before I parted with that kind of cash!
Even then, it does seem like quite a lot! Unless its really like new condition!

for 1450 I want that thing to come out of the original crate....way overpriced.

I see those cabs go at auction for $400-$700 depending on what is in them and the shape they are in.

I would personaly only pay $600 for that cab.

In comparasion the Big cab in my pic I Got for ~$1300.

Dang I paid $800 for my mint Dedicated US four-slot, and I thought I paid a lot. I would look elsewhere, the deals are out there.

Dude, that is a dry one in the ass over priced. You should be able to find a 4 slot cab of that type, with a 4 slot board in it for MAX, $600. I paid $600 for mine and got 20+ carts with it, and in addition, 8 or so doubles that I ended up just selling. Keep looking bro. It will come.

Yeah, That's what I thought.

Just making sure I wasn't losing it...again...for the 3rd time....again.


In case anyone's interested I offered him $1050. $650 for the cab and $355 for the shipping. Both of which, I think are more than fair market price.

I told him, thanks to NTM's advice (you pooh fuck <IMG SRC="smilies/smile.gif" border="0">...he he... j/k, pooh fuck. ) and said I'd pay $1450 if it had a 'bunch' of games.

We'll see.


P.S. I like NTM. He's funny and my best friend ever...that I didn't know...and didn't talk to...and maybe said 2 things to...and don't know his real name.

BFF! <IMG SRC="smilies/envy.gif" border="0"> <IMG SRC="smilies/glee.gif" border="0">

I think I paid $600 for my dedicated 4-slot. That guy must think its made of gold or something if he wants to charge that much. I waould hold off until you find a better price.

UPDATE:

The seller emailed me back with a counter offer.

He said he'd throw in 10 game for $1400.

I'm waiting to see what games they are... this is a bit more reasonable.

Unless he's giving high value games around $50 he is still asking too much,
Im in the Uk and have just boughta original 6 slot in very, very good condition for £250 delivered wihch is around $350 in dollars.
Save your self a few hundred dollars by shopping around !

It's really not that bad of a deal, I'm not pushing it just because I want one now.

Shipping in the US is murder, cross country frieght costs..well...more than what you paid for your system <IMG SRC="smilies/smile.gif" border="0">. It should be abot 400+ dollars. I figured 600 for the system was MORE than fair, so I offered 1050. If he's offering some games that I want (Neo Turf Masters, Super Baseball 2020, Puzzle Bobble, League Bowling...) or any other game I'm interested it, the games plus the shipping I'd save on them would be worth the money.

Don't get me wrong, he's not going to have me bite by offereing 3 copies of SS, 3 copies of 3 Count Bout and 4 Fatal Fury's.

I'm looking for some quality games here, hopefully around...70 to 100 a pop.

Thanks for you input though <IMG SRC="smilies/smile.gif" border="0">.
