How much do you think shipping would be?

thats gonna be expensive to ship ! I have a candy and the shipping weight was 82 lbs , through yellow freight it was 86.00 will call ,{ i picked it up } figure that cab weighs about 300lbs , you should be able to find out the approximate cost if you know the weight.
my cab was shipped about 400 miles to me .
good luck !

Damn, 86.00 and it only weighed 82lb! Never mind I might as well simply try and find one real close to me and go pick it up.

For shipping that 82lbs. that far is quite a deal. I don't think you could have picked it up yourself for lesss!

Yes, that cab is in the 300lb range and will cost a lot to ship. I really recommend anyone looking for an arcade machine, visit all arcades in your area, or as far as you are willing to drive and see what they have... they may have a neo geo or other JAMMA cab that is cheap and ready to go!

if crating is $75.00, the shipping via forward air is no more than $105.00. it's just that you have to pick it up at a major airport forward air delivers to.

I've had a few cabs shipped through forward air and they are dirt cheap.

It's time to call up that "good" friend with that pick up truck. Tell him/her that they're invited to a party...a moving one. :)

I live in CA and I just bought two MVS 25 cabs from arcade infinity and shipping was $250 to my door for both! I am very impresed as it would cost me more for a van and gas much less the two trips to get them both to my home.

I got a 4-Slot off e-bay as well, and the shipping total was $211 to my door.

It all depends on the weight, distance, and carrier company. Either way having it shipped costs a nice chunk of cash.

Shipping on cabs can run anywhere between 150-300 dollers.

It all depends on how many states away it's getting shipped from. If it's getting shipped from Cali to the East coast, your looking in the 200-300 range, if it's getting shipped from a few states away, it'll probly be 150-200.

If it's in your state or local, you can pick it up your self for the most part.

Find out if there are any arcade auctions in your area, even if you have to drive a few hours to get to one. Those are the best place to get a cab, because you can haul it home yourself (if you have a truck to carry one in). But remember that most auctions don't have "candy" style sit-down cabs, so if that's what you want, you may need to just bite the bullet and buy one from California (where they all seem to be) and have it shipped.

Here are some auction sites:

Super Auctions:

Dates/locations for Super Auctions:

The other big auction house is U.S. Amusements:

<a href="http://www.usamusement.com/" target="_blank">http://www.usamusement.com/</a>

And their calendar of auctions is here:

Well, none of those seem to be in TN . . . <img src="graemlins/annoyed.gif" border="0" alt="[Annoyed]" />

Here in TN I have found 2 for $800 one in Memphis from Brady Dist. And the other from Bucky's(it's the closest). I got this e-mail from Brady Dist.

"The Neo Geo conversion sells for $795 which includes complete reconditioning
to factory specifications, 30-day warranty, and free lifetime technical
assistance." Is that a good deal? I decided not to get a Super Gun and just go for the cab.
