I hate being piss poor and wanting an arcade cab.

Talk about just about anything else that is non-gaming here, but keep it clean

Yeah good luck. Ive been going to auctions for over a decade and have never seen one. Ive seen two on ebay in the past few years.
Yeah, I know. But it's one I still want, alongside a Simpsons cab, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, X-Men 6 player, and Captain America and the Avengers. I also want to play on a Punisher cab, but I don't know if I'd want one since I've never tried it.

Yeah, I like my arcade beat 'em ups.

Picked up a Konami 3p Violent Storm on the cheap a while back. I do remember a 3p cab with Merc's in it, two auctions ago. You really need to get down here for one. Last April was a GOOD one, picked up a Black Tiger and After Burner upright.

I feel your pain Mod_Man. Last week someone was selling my favorite arcade cab; a Konami TMNT from 1989 in perfect condition with great controls, clean side art, and a bright monitor for only three hundred dollars. I would have jumped on that in a heartbeat if I had the cash. I tried to talk the seller down to one hundred bucks, but he just laughed at me.

My arcade cabinet lust is fairly small now...

* Q*bert
* Joust
* Robotron
* Defender
* Sinistar
* Mario Brothers Widebody.
* Environmental Discs of Tron

You know. The expensive ones capped by the ungodly expensive one.
