Seems like a pretty damn good deal. Every time I have looked around for an MVS cab causally the guy always wanted 750$+ (this was for red cabs though, never seen a gold).
Dude, I didn't even know about the "gold" MVS until today. I dig the woodgrain, but I don't care much for the monitor.
Was thinking the same thing. Awesome wood grain, monitor no so much. Still nice though, would probably rather have that than a red if given the choice.

I need a candy cab in my life. Talk about expensive though...

If you are not super picky in your style, and can go get it yourself, they will pop up for $500ish from people needing to liquidate for whatever reason. When I was buying a monitor for my Astro I was offered a set of gutted Blasts for $300 a pop, but I could not transport them at the time and the guy sold them shortly after online for $500 a pop. Still kicking myself over that one, but fixing them up would have put cost at close to 2k.

Well, my peeps. This is what I got today at my local wednesday fleamarket! And a little something extra a gamestop! :) For $2.00 I found a really basic (hopefully working) Generic PS2 to wii adapter. Hope it works! For $2.00 again, I got a PS1 game Extreme Pinball and a 70's horror Tv and Movie encyclopedia! $4.00 got me some PS2 and a Gamcube game: Tony Hawk's pro skater 3 GC, and Tony Hawk's Pro skater 4, Gran turismo 3, and DDR super Nova 2 PS2. I spent a little more on this guy and his games but Since I haven"t seen these games in a while, I splurged a bit. $12 got me Wrestlemania The arcade Game SNES, State of Emergency XBOX and Judge Dredd, Dredd vs Death XBOX. Lastly from another seller I found more Xbox games. $4.00 got me both Blazing Angels Squadrons of WW2 and The DaVinci Code. Then when I left the fleamarket, I went to gamestop to drop another $5.00 on a pre-order and I saw on their counter some DS games with boxes! I picked out Contra 4 and it cost me $11.69. Good thing I saved this game from getting the case thrown into the trash!

Also if you guys/gals want to see my ugly mug on youtube, I made a part one to my finds from last weekend. Still working on part 2!

The monitor is small, but because it's right in your face at eye level, it doesn't actually matter that it's small. It's actually quite nice.
