I just got a 256 MB 3.17 board from Yaton for $125 delivered. I think $150ish is where you'll be for a 4.01 512mb version.

I was thinking $100-$120, but then I see it's going for nearly double that on ebay...

Yeah EBay prices are kind of nuts for that one, $120 would be fair on here IMO. Sheep nova still sells them bundled w/mobos from time to time.

It’s because it’s one of the carts that cab be sacrificed to make the cave boot carts.

How much is non working Astro City & Atomiswave candy cab worth?

What about a working Naomi Universal?

Probably $400 each for the non working Astro and Atomiswave cabs, assuming the tubes are still good.

Working Universal I'd probably say $750 ish.

Damn that low on the Astro & Atomiswave...Paid that much just for the shipping. I guess better off just fixing it.

Just curious how much for a working Blast City in your area...Maybe prices are just way different here in the Northwest.

When you pay to have something delivered, it doesn't increase the value... ;)

I paid $700 for a Naomi Universal a few months ago, which I ended up passing on to a friend. Also sold a non-working Astro for $300 recently.

The Uni was nice and clean, the Astro not so much.

Where youlocated? I always factor in the rarity and cost of shipping for something huge like cabs or even statues. Candy cabs hardly ever turn up but when they do they want something like $1500. I also factor that when I buy stuff too.

You can get working candy cabs from Cali for like $800 at most any time, then if you get two cabs you are looking at 400ish for shipping total or $200/each.

For cabs with not working monitors you are going to have to find the right buyer, who knows how to find or fix a chassis and install it. That's not too common anywhere, so if you are looking to resell you should try and fix them up first if at all possible.

Got my stuff from Kingsley, which were horrible shape. Got my new net city for $1700 from Ken gameroom. I over spent but it was in great shape. Guy seem like an asshole though. Where you getting cabs from in cali and shipping only $200. That seems way too cheap.

KC has working Astros for $800 ATM afaik.

Haven't bought from him though. I did get two non working Blasts from cdamm for $350 each, then $200 shipping each. One was for a friend and we sourced/installed new chassis together. But as wyo said shipping is really separate from the cost of a cab. You might pay extra locally for a working cab that's already there, but non working would be a harder sell.

Uship is probably the cheapest overall, but CRST is fair and who I've used.
