ok i saw a ms pacman on CL the other day but come to find out it was converted to a mame and the guy wants 2k for it, i email and ask if he would sell just the cabinet itself without all the mame stuff and he said he would but would not bring down the price for it, now maybe im wrong and maybe im crazy, but 2k seems to much to pay for just a ms. pacman cabinet or mame for that matter

You are right on both counts. Should be able to pick up a decent non-working Ms. Pac-man for a couple hundred bucks or a working one around $500. $2,000 is insane for a MAME or Ms. Pac, or both together x2. It shouldn't be that hard to find one MUCH cheaper than that.
 
There's no MAME machine on earth worth $2000 - absolutely freaking nuts on both counts. At that price you could build like 7 of your own. That cabinet in ridiculous great shape wouldn't be worth more than a couple hundred bucks to most people.
 
im always on the lookout for either a pac or ms.pac and when i saw this i thought maybe i could get it for cheap without the mame stuff but nope, if i were to reply back the only thing i would say to the seller is goodluck trying to get 2k for it and nothing else thats all i would say
 
You seem so serious about it. This is the kind of thing we joke about all day long around here! It's pretty safe to say that 95% of people selling arcade games on craigslist are on crack.

well the thing i find most crazy about it is that the guy wants 2k for just the bare cabinet nothing inside, its insane

That's batshit crazy.

And so is wanting 2K for a MAME machine in a Ms. Pac. They're about equal.
 
Wow. $2000 for a MAMEd Ms. Pacman cabinet with the MAME guts ripped out of it? That's ludicrous. Gutted Ms. Pac cabs are not hard to find.. heck, I bet you could get one for free (or in the $50-$100 range) without looking too hard.
 
If they replaced the monitor (and they probably did) when it was MAMEd, and everything is now removed, you have basically an empty cabinet with maybe an original marquee and bezel with a probably f*cked up control panel. In order to get it back to original, you're probably into it for $100 or $200 worth of parts. I would say $50. $100 if the side art is really nice or if the original monitor is included. $200 if they throw in all the original parts with it. Otherwise, reply with a nice "no, thank you" and "good luck getting $2k".
