FS: Millipede, SFIII, Golden Tee '05, MsPac/Galaga Class of '81, and more in Katy, TX

Just a heads up for anyone who might be interested. I bought a Neo Geo from a guy here in Katy (just outside of Houston), who had a bunch of other games for sell. A few of them are up on CL already, but as of now, he hasn't listed them all yet. See what he has listed currently here.

All cabinets had some worn off paint in places (mostly looked like from being moved/loaded into a truck/etc), but overall looked pretty nice. I didn't see any burn in on any of the monitors and, while most of them had some general ware, they were all in pretty good shape overall.

Here's what I saw:

Street Fighter EX2: Monitor was blurry (may just need to be adjusted, or it may just need a cap kit). Cabinet seemed decent, though I think the CP may have had some damage. Marquee looks a bit faded and is rippled, but otherwise not too bad.
Street Fighter III: Monitor was nice. Couldn't see side art. CP/plexi was nice overall.
Golden Tee 2005: Overall pretty damn nice. The top marquee works, but is missing the cover. From what I saw, the cabinet has little to no damage of any kind.
NBA Showtime / NFL Blitz: Overall very nice. Monitor was good and all artwork look intact.
Millipede: Monitor looked VERY nice - no burn in or anything and the picture was very crisp. The marquee had a bit of damage and was was faced, but the side were damn NICE. Everything looked original to me, though I'm not expert on the classics, I'll admit. I'd say this is the one people will be after, though.
Ms. Pac-Man / Galaga: Class of 1981: Damage around the coin door, but otherwise very nice.
Some sort of 80's multi arcade: Sorry, didn't pay enough attention to which games were on here since he didn't turn it on. From what I saw, it looked nice.

The seller, Monty, was VERY nice. Hell, he even helped me load the Neo in the truck. We talked for probably a good half hour or more while he let me check things out. I didn't try to pull all the games out to look at them more, so I couldn't get better pics than what I have below. Regardless, I'd definitely recommend him to anyone who might want any of these games.

I wish the pics were better. I let my wife take them...I thought she got better close ups, but apparently not...

the link is dead what are the prices?
He must have sold most of them by now...or decided to keep them. He was talking about keeping the Millipede.

Most of his prices were fairly reasonable - most from $500-$650 (he's likely to haggle). Though the bigger games like GT and NBA:ST were asking $1000+. He upped his price on the SF's since I was there. Not sure why he did that, I don't think either are worth $750...I mean, does anyone even want a SF EX2? :p

Here's some of his listings that are left, and I'm not sure that he ever posted the rest of what he had:

Honestly, I'd just call him and see what he has left, if anything. He's a super nice guy. His name is Monty; 713-705-1289.

Congrats on the Neo pickup!!! One of the most played machines in my collection. :D
Thanks! I've been wanting one for years, just never found one nearby in decent shape. I paid $400 for it which is more than I would have liked to have paid for one in this shape, but since it was right down the street, I couldn't resist.

I posted a thread with more pics here. When I have some time, I'll probably be starting a restoration thread for it :)
