Listen to you guys, cussing out the man because he's asking too much. Did you not read the original post? It's an arcade, not a store: The cabinet was not for sale! If you wanted to buy my house I'd over charge you because I still want to live here. I never put my house up for sale, so to tell me I'm asking too much is just stupid.
You say he's never going to get $1,400, and I agree. But you forget that the reason he asked $1,400 is because he wasn't trying to sell it to begin with. And how can you tell what it's worth any way. You all go on and on about how rare this cabinet is. If this cabinet is so rare, then there's no going market rate for it, crappy condition or not!
The end of the matter is you don't go asking to buy things that aren't for sale, and then spit in the owners face when he isn't over eager to sell!
I hope you get the cabinet, but don't be so offended that this man wanted a high price. It's well within reason for someone who's not looking to sell anything.

), it's that someone would let a gem like that just sit around and deteriorate. In the end, it is the operator's decision what he wants to happen to his own machines, but it's such a waste that he insists on clinging to an item he apparently doesn't give a damn about when there are plenty of people who would gladly take it off his hands and give it the appreciation it merits.
