I can't believe I'm going to do this, but I think it's time to sell this board. There is a item I have a chance to get that kind of a bucket list item for me, and the wife and I agreed that we can only do buy it by selling something to pay for it.

I took several different pics to illustrate condition, but would like to point out what might be less obvious. The are some spots on the casing that have slight discoloration, there is a small tear in the label over one of the faces, and while this will be obvious, I want to point out the handwritten sticker on one of the chips that says "CAD DINO HACK D2AO".
- edit: Thanks for clearing that up Fox :)

Shipping from Canada and will ship to US at actual cost w/tracking, signature and insurance for the full amount (this will most likely be between $30-$40) for which I will get a quote at the post office; not going to take any chances with damage or theft at the door. PP only, gift or add 4%.

Cadillacs & Dinosaurs CPS Dash (battery change date unknown) - $700 USD SOLD

I'm definitely interested, but I suspect you'll want more money for it than I can afford. It definitely looks legit and not like a conversion in the photos. Has the suicide battery ever been changed? You've tested it recently to make sure it still works 100%?

The second board's "Hack" sticker just means he desuicided the Qsound portion of the board. If you notice the Qsound's battery is gone. It can be put back onto original code with the tools that are out there now.

Thanks Fox, I've always wondered what that was referring to.

Not sure about the battery, but we had a run through of the game a couple weeks ago. I'l fire it up for some screens to show it working. As for price, I didn't put one because I wasn't sure where it might fall given the 'hack' sticker, but I'm only looking to break even. I'll do some research and get a price up, then change the thread to 'FS' at that point.

Sold to radiantsvgun.

Congratulations. This game is simply amazing. Too bad I didn't have the cash for this, after my arcade shopping spree of recent months. I guess I'll go back to crossing my fingers for that QSound multi from NeoSD.

I'm nearly done with CIB console game collecting, and am moving towards signage, posters/artwork, kiosks, and promo materials; there are a few neon Nintendo signs that I'm after in particular, one of which, I can get now. I have a very specific list of these kinds of things that I'd like to get, and then I'm done. The game/arcade room that will be set up when our house gets built is going to be be what my wife and I always hoped for, so we want to do it right with key pieces that mean a lot to us.

It's great to hear your wife is no board. Too bad there was no place for C&D in that arcade room. That's one game I would probably never get rid of, unless unforseen circumstances forced my hand. Tell me you have a second board.

Screw That, If Someone offered me $700 for C&D I would get rid of it in a heart beat lol. Congrats Ren on the Sale and I'm glad it was RSG who bought it.

We obviously have different priorities, and like I said, C&D is one of the boards I would never get rid of. And when I say never, I mean not for a fair price. If someone would offer me 10K, because they were insane, I'd take their money, for sure. Selling it for $700 means you're probably not getting one later on, because you'd pay more. Once a QSound multi comes out, things will be different, but C&D is n expensive board, and not one you'd sell for profit if it's a game you care about.

Yes, Your right. We do have different priorities. ;)

Pricey Arcade boards that I've purchased usually don't last long with me. I enjoy it, play as much as I could for a few months, maybe a year, than I sell it before it fails on me. I don't keep them as collectors pieces. I'll take the cash and stick to the roms.

Haha, agreed on all counts. Personally, I'm waiting for some kind of multi/FPGA solutions for CPS games. 1/4 of my A boards are already dead.

Yea bro. Take the money and run. That's one less expensive headache you have to deal with when it fails. I've had my share of arcade boards fail on me. Luckily the boards that did fail weren't pricey like this one.

Me and you both are waiting for that cps1 multi.

Board arrived working this morning, thanks again Ren. $700 is a really bro price and I really appreciate the price. I’d been after it for awhile and your price was far cheaper than YAJ. Unfortunately the board will probably be buried with me.

Hahaha, I know that feel (my guitar is coming with me :) As I mentioned before, it's been bittersweet to let the board go, but I'm glad it went to you and I know it's in a good home!

Enjoy C&D in good health, brother :)

What is this thing about dying A boards I keep hearing over and over every where. I have alot of cps1 games and have not seen this.

You're either very lucky or haven't tested 'em all lately :p
