Chicago craigslist actually has some good things on it!?!

So randomly on lunch I decided to check Craigslist for arcade and arcade related accessories.
Most of the time there are horrible "deals" and 60-1s crammed into anything that looks like a cab.
Although today much to my surprise there are actually a few things of interest... 4 player sitdown daytona with 50 inch screens, a downhill biking game, a complete neogeo 1 slot and a few others... I don't know if any of the prices would be considered a steal.... but if I had a box truck and any more room in my storage unit I'd be sending out a few emails.

Just wanted to throw this out there for any locals... because I may not be able to pick this stuff up now... I may be able to when the locals get sick of having them in their house.
 
I search all cities (with one search engine) when I look through Craigslist. Had an excellent transaction w/shipping from Texas not too long ago. The private party did a better job of palleting and prepping the game for shipment than most shippers do. :D

I got some good deals on video games and pinball machines from the Chicago CL over the years.

Disc of Tron (cheap)

Several pinball machines

Missile Command, etc
 
Well I usually look in the same area, but I'm not see'n any of these things? I usually just search for "arcade" should I be searching for something else? Or have all these just magically been sold and taken off already?

Guess I really need to slow down when looking, I guess i scroll too fast and passed them up.

Which search site do you use? I haven't been able to find one that I like.
 
I check craigs locally every day. Lots of good deals thru the years. Best was just last year, tron, pac man, and DK for free. Guy had them in a shed and just wanted them gone. That was a good day...
 
I find all my machines on craigslist, you just gotta to be patient and wait for the good deals, I've found a Space Invader Part II cocktail, Nintendo Red Tent and a Naomi Dynamo setup.

I always search "arcade -xbox -fire" got three pages of results and had some interesting ones on page 1 and 2. I doubt these have been taken off yet since its been like 2 hours since my last search.
