Not cool. My freind just got a NeoGeo 1 slot with Last Resort, and a lot other games, and a cabinet and a monitor and "controller" for $50 CAD.

Im Serious. There was a HUGE arcade auction like 1 hour away from my house. One neogeo cabinet went for $25!

Anyone have any similar experience? Like where someone you know or you getting a arcade machine for CHEAP?

My friend found one at a garage sale for $100. It was beat up but he got a new monitor installed and it looked great.

I'd buy all I could and sell it on eBay :P .

How much could I expect to make from a good MAME cabinet, for private use, not commercial?

Are you talking about making your own and selling it ?

Yup. I don't think it will be too hard for me. A challenge, yes, but not too hard to make a quality piece of work.

You would be hard pressed to actually sell the thing on Ebay, since they take those auctions down. The best you could do is a kit into which someone could place their own computer. Ebay kinda stinks that way...
