Anyone building a multi to sell during the Xmas season?
I'm sure a bunch of you guys have built multi, MAME, 60-in 1, whatever to sell during the Xmas season. My local Craigslist always has some half assed multi cabinets with postage stamp sized pics, etc..
If I did this, it would be
-Galaga style cabinet, likely scratch built from 3/4" birch ply
-satin black finish, with the real deal Galaga sideart (Namco run)
-60-in-1 board
-actual Midway coin door and hardware from a Ms Pac I had to part out
-probably a Galaga marquee, so the end result looks like a mint Galaga cabinet
-either the WG 19" vga monitor or a rebuilt G07, not LCD
Thing is, I already have the monitor, sideart, hardware from a Ms Pac, JAMMA harness, 60-in board, iso, monitor..........pretty much would just have to build a cabinet and buy a control panel.
I realize prices are all over the place on these, and many frown upon this..but I wouldn't be wrecking any original cabinet and I'd pretty much use up parts and wood I've accumulated. Done right, what would you 'ask' and expect something like this to sell for during early-late December?
I realize this is a tired subject for many and annoying one for others, but thanks for any advice. Trying to decide if it would be worth the small investment in materials and larger in time.
