I think it's bad etiquette to comment on if someone payed too much for something AFTER they bought it, and are HAPPY with the purchase. I think there are threads with other NeoGeo cab purchases, you can do the research.

Pic's or it didn't happen. I want to see RED!

There is a four slot at the flea market by my house but the screen is warped at the top and I don't really know what I would have to do to fix or replace it. Otherwise I would probably make him an offer.

I think $550 is OK. I know you can find them cheaper but I didnt want to wait. Im shooting a music video with it next week and just wanted it. My single slot was $200. So I based it off that and it is in good shape. Im gonna buy a new control panel sticker and repaint the Neo Geo logo on the side. the headphone jacks still work but i dont have a memory card to check that. dont think id need it anyway. the el lights in the marquee are burnt out. Im gonna buy a fluorescent light to put in there.

and i have picked up both neo geos with a toyota station wagon. my chest was against the steering wheel. I will go to any length to get an arcade game. I carried the single slot all by myself 2 blocks. And steps should be no problem. We're talking about arcade games!!! I brought my sit down driver "Dirt Dash" up and down 15 steps twice!

ill take pictures tonight.

That is commitment!

I remember finding a Crystal Castles arcade cabinet on the side of the road when I was younger and I had a hell of a time getting that thing to my friends house. We were like 13 at the time and had to roll it down four blocks on a skate board.
