Is the cabinet solid gold? :-D
All kidding aside, I've seen those cabs go for a couple hundred bucks
lately.

Okay, what's going on with all of these "Game X for sale: $5,000!"
posts? Have $200 - $400 games become highly sought-after or something
as of late?

Arcade games are generally cheap. Sometimes you have sellers who don't
know.

I agree, I got a nice one of these for less then $100 a few months
back. I hate it. Heavy as lead, bulky, can't really put drinks on it.
Not to mention I have seen nice fully working ones for $200 on ebay all
over the place. I'll let mine go for $500 since it's so rare.   It
even has a space shooter game and the rare elusive excite bike game. I
saw someone post a pheonix for $1000 on CL a while back. I wasted my
keystrokes and told them it was worth $250 they said they would lower
the price to $700. Please........ I won't bother ranting anymore. Just
kind of funny.

I noticed but really didn't give a rat's ass.

Dude, there are (and have been) a slew of these on Ebay for a fraction of
this price. Firstly, it's not that rare, nor are the various chipsets that
swap the games out. It's actually quite a hideous red beast if I may say so.

Yes but you see...., I saw the original thread then jumped a thread to
the joke thread making it yet a deeper joke. Whatever, all I know is my
track n field has incrased in value by over 1000% today.

I am formulating a plan by which i sell cabs for thousands and then
buy them off the board for the hundreds they are actually worth and
just hire some chinese kids to truck them around the country. I
figured I can make millions without breaking a sweat. ;-)
