Should I Buy a Virtual On Arcade Machine?

Post by fox099 »

My friend and I have the opportunity to buy a working virtual on arcade machine for 320 dollars (that includes deliver). I am not sure if this is an awesome deal or a disaster in the making. Any suggestions?

I'd jump on it at 500, let alone 320. That's insane, and you'll probably have a blast with it...

Is there some problem with it because $320 is a steal.

One of my favorite arcade games ever. If it's in decent shape and you've got the space for it, I'd say go for it.

If it's in decent shape not missing any major parts and space isn't an issue I would get it ASAP.. 8)

You'd be brain dead not to snatch it up at that price.

Including shipping? From how far away?

Great deal if it works fine, make sure everything is ok before you buy a huge arcade machine.

Make sure you have the space too. These things are always way bigger than you expect, especially when you try and fit them through your door way.

If there's nothing wrong with it god yes, That's an insanely cheap price, you'd easily spend that much on shipping for that monstrosity.
