jmjustin6 Posted April 15, 2017 Report Share Posted April 15, 2017 So last night I was hunting around on Craigslist and came across an ad for a bunch of different arcade cabs. They were priced at $125 each (untested). It was late at night so i didnt text the person i just wrote down the number. I wake up this morning and i cant find the ad. So i text the number and the person says all the ones in the ad were sold and they deleted the ad. But they said they still have a few ms. pacman and an original pacman $125 each untested. What would you do? Would you buy one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmjustin6 Posted April 15, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2017 The pics from the ad were really dusty. Like they have been in storage for years Lost Dragon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickR Posted April 15, 2017 Report Share Posted April 15, 2017 Sounds like a gamble. You'll have to use your senses to determine how honest this person is. Are they simply too busy and just want to be rid of these things? Will they let you plug them in before buying? The fact that the others sold is a good sign. That could mean another collector checked them out and thought they were OK or at least repairable. Good luck! jmjustin6, Rowsdower70 and Lost Dragon 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmjustin6 Posted April 16, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2017 UPDATE Ok so finally these are the pics that the person has sent. I dont remember talking about the Nintendo play choice but oh well Lost Dragon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atari Creep Posted April 17, 2017 Report Share Posted April 17, 2017 I say take the chance (if I am not too late). At that price you can do a few things, over time restore the cab to original working condition and it should still be much cheaper than if you purchased one working. Or if anything you have an ICONIC cab design to make a MAME out of. Best of luck bud!!!! Lost Dragon and jmjustin6 2 Quote Don't just watch TV, PLAY IT!
