Give us a rundown of the carts when you find out. Maybe we can offset your purchase if there are any titles you may not want.

thats my plan :D there is really only 4 more games i am searching for and thats :
Blazing Star, Super Dodgeball, Bust a move again, and Neo Driftout.
So do you have any idea what he's asking for it? Would be a shame to waste your time with him if he wants a thousand bucks for it :)

not the cheapest carts to come by... lol

i picked up a dedicated 4 slot this last summer. all i had to was drive to pick it up. the power supply was shot, and it took a whole lotta splicing to get it going again.

Oh I do I know they aren't the cheapest, I am willing to spend 500 bucks on all four of em on MVS if this guy that has em will email me back.
As for the Cab and games, I plan on offering him 600 for the whole set up maybe 700 it just depends on the condition and the games.

Just talked to the guy on the phone, he replaced all the sticks and buttons with the highest quality ones , and replaced the monitor 7 months ago. I asked him how many games total, he claimed that there is over 70 MVS carts i about crapped my pants, i was only thinking about 20 carts. I just hope everything works out the way i hope it does...... He started naming off...
Last blade 1 and 2
mark of the wolves
samurai showdown's ( all of em)
world heroes
metal slug 1-4
and a bunch of others.

I told him that if everything works great and is in excellent shape then i would give him 600 bucks for it all and he said that is fine with him as long as it goes to a good home.

You just hit the MVS jackpot. For six hundred dollars you could buy the cabinet and seventy carts. If you ebay the carts individually, it would pay for the cabinet.

Looks like another Neo fan has bit the dust. So did he get married or just plain broke? I'm sure we can all help out and give some of the carts a good home also.

he said that him and his brother went in together to buy this cab and games and the brother got locked up. So he got stuck with it, and so now that he is engaged his fiance doesn't want it in the house so he is selling it.
