To all of you multi game builders I have some questions about how far you go with the details. I am building my first multi to sell (don't worry used a generic JAMMA cabinet and used a LCD screen).
At first I was just going to clean up the cabinet and put a nice multi marquee and a nice multi CPO and call it done. But then I saw a picture of a multi that mod made in a Galaga or Galaxian cabinet complete with side art and a bezel (all of which appear to be from arcadeshop).
So now I am looking at doing the full art package but it seems like it is going to cost me around 200 dollars plus shipping. For those of you that build these things for a living do you find it is worth it to do the extra art? All in if I go the full art package I would have about 350 into this beast, if I skip out on doing the full art and just do the marquee and CPO I am only in maybe 150. How much can I expect to get for this? I am going to have it up for sale before Christmas and it will have a 48-1 board installed.
I know I can get cheaper side art if I go elsewhere but I like the shape of the arcadeshop stuff don't want to put rectangular side art, that stuff looks lame to me.
So opinions? What can I list this thing for?
