WTB 2 Arcade cabinets for CPS2 multi kit and Naomi Piforce

[ekorz]

I’m also looking for a Sega Blast City. Does Kcarcadegame sells them? If so can you pm me his contact number please

He does, yes, thank you for the suggestion. I'm trying to avoid the $750 freight fee to NYC if possible. (unless, he can ensure a pristine looking candy cab).

If you want a “prestine” cab you’ll be waiting a long time and should be willing to pay a premium. Thats not what KC sells. Anything you buy from him will work if he says it works, but expect it to need a thorough cleaning at least. If you want to skip that step Ken at the Game Room cleans them up a bit https://www.thegameroom.com/contact-the-gameroom.html

@Cereth sells blasts occasionally and is very upfront with the condition.

But basically nobody who sells cabs regularly (those 3 above) has a prestine blast, these are ~22 years old. Even if I bought one from a collector unless they’d restored it it’s probably got some bangs and bruises. If you found a collector, chances are they’re not where you live, so freight $$$ is the way to go. Just letting you know what to expect... if you want local + prestine it’s just going to cost more time (searching) and money. Most folks buy what they can find and put in labor to compensate.

ekorz got it pretty good. I've decided even for the foreseeable future that I'll not sell anything pristine, even if it comes in in near-pristine condition simply because I cannot guarantee that anything I sell will fit the high expectations that anyone looking for a pristine cabinet might have. Ken from Gameroom iirc really shops out his cabs, but there's a pretty notable price premium. It's not cheap or easy to bring in a bunch of cabs and do the work to piece together everything perfect, especially for small-timers like me who barely get by, or big-timers like Kou who make everything off ordering in huge bulk.

Thanks for helping me to reset my expections @'ekorz and @'Cereth. I'm not against paying a freight fee. What @'kcarcadegame quoted me for freight to NYC is totally fair.

I'm not new to arcade ownership or restoration. I do expect to do some cleaning and small restorations for my first candy cabinet purchase.

My luck with freight shipments lately has been poor, returning the last 3/4 packages (work benches and other large tools) as they arrive broken. I hope to hear back from @Derick2k about a local pickup and if that falls through, will consider freight shipping.
