Would you rather pick up a cabinet cheap and spend alot to restore it or would you rather spend more on a cabinet that just need cosmedic or very little repair done to it?

-I tend to pick up cheap crapped up cabinets and spend months upon months looking for cheap parts for them.
 
I think most of the fun in the hobby is in the hunt. Anyone with a deep wallet can pick up a mint game and do nothing to it. Yet where is the fun in that? Isn't it better to try and outbid that other person on epay??? Or run across a part you have been looking for forever in a warehouse???
 
When I first started I would take anything in sight......I had no kids, all the free time in the world and enjoyed the hunt, the drive, and the restoration. Now with 2 children I would really rather spend the time with them then restoring Arcade Games. So I've kind of turned into the guy who looks for a nice game that I can just dust off and move into the Realm. But if for some reason I have free time again I will dive right back into restoring.
