Lucky & Wild (price check) having second thoughts..

Hey guys, I have the opportunity to buy a Lucky & Wild cabinet w/ working monitor steering wheel and good condition cab for $100. Only thing missing is the two guns for it. My plan is to turn the 2 person cabinet into a mame station where I can have drivers set up + light gun games (seems like the cab works for both perfectly) My only issue is...I live in Manhattan NYC hahah meaning I don't really have the room. I built my own showcase cabinet already that my girlfriend is ok with, but I dont really have the room for a 2 person sit down cab. My alternative is to keep it at my parents place, in the attic or basement as storage, and work on it here and there (hour and 1/2 away and only visit once every few months). The reality is this..I'm probably going to be living in the city for the next 2-3 years at least, and plan to one day move the cabinet to my future house' basement and set up my theater and arcade room down there. So, here I have the opportunity to get a good condition cab w/ working monitor for $100. Its almost like buying a project piece and sticking it in storage for a year or two, except its free to store :). I need your advice...is it worth getting now at that price, or should I hold on and wait it out. I'm thinking if its a good deal now, I might as well grab something that's worth it now, and slowly work on it until I move to the burbs. Or, I just wait it out and see what I can get in a few years. I would really prefer to get a Lost World 2 person Cockpit cabinet or the Star Trek or Confidential Mission cabinet, as these are real dedicated 2 person sit down cockpit style cabinets with a giant Monitor. Let me know your opinion!

Admins, I apologize if this should be in a different section :)

thanks
Jason
 
If you don't have the room, and plans are up in the air, then just pass. Its not worth all the hassle and headache of storing something, having to travel to mess with it, and then be in their way all the time. Others here may have a different opinion but I've been there done that and won't do it again unless its REAAALY worth it.
 
so in your opinion..the $100 for that setup is not worth it? Thanks for the input...plans are always changing and ya never know where life will take ya --good point. Only thing I figured is I could probably sell the monitor inside it for that much?
 
if its a 25" monitor that works, its prob worth $100 but then again I still think you'll be able to find a monitor if need be when you're ready.
 
All comes down to if it's worth your time to store it for that long, and if you are actually going to do something with it. I learned real quick, don't jump on it just because it's a good deal. You'll either run out of room, or you'll be disappointed with what you have. If it's what you truly want, and really do want to turn it into a driver/shooter game, go for it. But it sounds like it's not your ideal machine for that setup, the way you're talking. Either way, good luck with the decision.
 
You are all right, I'm going to continue to look for a 2 person cabinet I want.

thanks
