OK so I have been toying with the idea of making another run to DPTwiz's and picking up some more cabinets. He did an awesome job on the Tron cab that I picked up and I want to wrangle up a few more for myself.

So heres the problem. Last time people were annoyed that I did not offer to bring one back for them. The cost is very high for going up there and back; about 400$'s in gas, tolls, food, aside from truck rental fees.

So here's my proposal:
* The first cabinet I will transport for you at 50$ and 10$ each for up to 5 more cabinets (100$ for shipping 6) PM me if you needed more than 6.
* These will be stored at my house in a temp controlled area for up to two weeks for pick-up.
* The first people to respond will be given first treatment but I will also take reserve orders in case they do not pay up front.
* I will expect payment in full for shipping 2 weeks in advance so I can find someone else to fill your slot if you are unable to pay on time.
* DP will require you to pre-pay to set-up his materials; (and I don't want to pay for your cabinet out of pocket at pick-up.)

So pick-up:
* I am thinking of making the trip in the July/Aug time frame and will have an arcade party at the house where people can come pick up thier cabs.
* I am also willing to travel another 100 miles from zip code 22712; but expect an extra 100$ for gas, time, and labor will be charged.
* Pick-up needs to be scheduled but just about any time or day will work because my wife is a stay at home mom.

Dptwiz

I am in for one cab as long as he can do a Major Havoc in that time frame. Did you get in touch with Spyridon at all on when he will be up and operational in the Philly area? Also, i will be coming to the party in a few weeks, i will try and rsvp on the fb page like i'm supposed to. Ya know, i thougtht about you and buffet when i read that for sale thread this morning out of missouri - billybob, if i remember right. Did you see that one? I thought y'all might be scheming to go all the way out there and bring some of those back. That would be a nice trip, huh? I wouldnt mind one of those wedge heads, fer sure!
 
Where in Northern VA are you located?
Should be an easy drive from Hampton VA.
I have been considering a DL/SA cabinet for a wile.
I'll think about it.
Thanks

Hey Guys! i can get this done in the timeframe required, but i need to get moving on it ASAP! I have 3 cabs left to do, i'll be caught up with no orders here in a couple days. I literally have 3 sheets of material left here - so i need to get everyone somewhat on the same page, so i can get material ordered and start next week on these. I also need the time for Jpopson to be able to paint these, painted cabs get done first, so i don't hold him up. I can do 2 mspac cabs in 1 day, so it's not too bad.

I am hoping to be back to work in June, i have 2 rounds of shots coming up into my back, then possibly a minor outpatient surgery where the go in and kill all the nerves in my lower back. That is a good 6 weeks out, i'l like to knock out as much as i can! Here's the cab list:

This run is a GO, it will happen for SURE!

I will provide a paypal address for shipping by the end of the week. Please pay Dptwiz as soon as possible and as I get confirmation from him I will set-up a list of people we have confirmed for the shipment. PM me and Dptwiz together with cabinet orders, I will set-up the que by date of PM messages received.

I will make a stop at Pittsburgh but only if someone will volunteer a drop off home or storage unit for everyone interested. I will not take responsibility once they have been dropped off so you gentlemen will have to make sure your agreement on pick-up and storage duration is agreed upon first.

I live in Bealeton which is 30 minutes west of Manassas; about 30 minutes north on 17 from fredericksburgh. About 1 hour from Kings Dominion.

I am currently planning the run for either late July or early Aug to make sure all logistics are covered. Brett tell me if it should be June and July instead!

I think I saw someone post who will be hauling through that area that may be help you out, I dont know which post for sure though. It was in the Shipping, Hauling, Packing Threads.
 
July/august is best, but i would like to get started on these asap. I did take an order for some stuff that goes to Mn and 1 to indiana, and maybe 1 more to Mn. I am finishing up a quantum for Hmoonarcade, and a custom taito cab for KyleDracup. I have 1 person in florida so far that is ordering 4 cabs, one's an EDOT, and thier may be others from FL who get in on this, then pickup thiers from Mgreens place. I am really hoping to be back to work by mid june, i have 2 rounds of shots into the discs in my lower back coming up, and possibly early june, they are going to go in and kill all the nerves in my lower back. So the more i get done asap, the better!


I need to order materials asap - Wed is the latest i can order for the stuff that goes on May 12th, if i can get some of you to order, i can get the materials for your cabs now. It costs me 97.00 for delivery, so the more i get at once the better!
Also, i have a starwars Upright here thanks to Dethfactor and Seawolf for grabbing it and meeting me in the middle of Indiana today! so SW uprights in black melamine and birch ply are a go! 400.00 and will include marquee frame!

If you have not contacted DPtwiz yet about the intended order of cabinets please make sure that you PM him immediately.
 
Hey Mike, I had posted about possible getting a Dragons Lair cabinet but it looks like I cant swing it right now. Their's to many other projects due out shortly that I have committed to already and I am not sure how long it will be before I put my pickup truck back in service so with out it I cant even pick up the cabinet from you. Thanks for the offer, it's a great deal but I have to pass.

for those that want painted cabs, i need to discuss what you want done with Jpopson, he is the painter. I also would have those that do get painted cabs pay us each seperately, me for the cab, him for the paint.
