I dont normally like to pay this much for cabs but this one is a really nice condition. Would it be worth the 500 he is asking?

Is that a flat-screen monitor in there?

If so, although the outer cabinet looks good, I'd be worried about damage done in the monitor area to accomodate it, and the missing monitor. I would definitely value the cab lower if that was the case, because no classic with a flat-screen would ever enter my living quarters. :cool:
 
thats enough to keep me away. poor guy, in his ad claimed he spent 2500$ on this last xmas. I asked him where he got it so I could stay the heck away lol

He gave someone $2500 to ruin a Donkey Kong and help perpetuate the idea that this is a good business decision for the seller. I don't feel too badly for him.

But yeah, you'd probably be more happy with a moderately-worn DK with correct controls and a real monitor. :)
 
so i put the screws on this guy and he says for 450 he would add in the original stick and a dk pcb. it seems like a better deal but i wonder why he would have these things if he got it somewhere for 2500. it sweetens the deal but do you think its enough?
 
If you can live with the LCD screen it's decent. I'm willing to bet the original PS isn't in there any more though.

He's probably lying, and did the conversion himself.

Out of principle, you couldn't pay me to take it. But that's just me.

Yep, right here.

Offer him $350 for the cabinet plus all the parts he gutted. Tell him he can keep the shitty flat screen for his next bright idea. After you get him paid and the game loaded.......tell him you would have given him $750 for it.....before he fucked it up!
