Also takes the fun away from building your own MAME cabinet.

I wouldnt do that!

That playchoice is classic hardware, anybody can make a mame cab

Make your own mame cab, keep the playchoice.

Only decision!

That Playchoice is way more valuable than a MAME cab. The games aren't worth anything in a MAME and he's technically committing copyright theft by selling it to you.

You'd be better off making your own MAME cab.

That guy is getting a stupidly good deal if you trade for a (let's face it, aside from the timber and components) worthless MAME cab.

I'm sorry guys I made the trade. But It was before I read all your replies. Although I probably still would have done it. When it comes down to it I just wanna play games. And the playchoice did take up a lot more room. I can't really go collecting tons of cabinets till I but a house. I'm sure I will get another one someday.
