Well, I just finished up a 48 in 1 build with an Oakland Raiders theme. I originally built this to sell to one of my wife's friends, but they are not sure now if they have the room, so I guess I'll put it on Craigslist. I am finishing up a second cab with the same theme as well. My wife's friends had agreed on a price of $1000, but what do you guys think? More? Or less? (hopefully more!). This one was a Midway cab that I got several months ago from fellow klov-er mrtrentd. It was originally a Bosconian, but had been converted to an Airwolf, and was in need of some tlc. I shamelessly stole the artwork idea from Knievel over at the BYOAC forums. The "Arcade Nation" name and logo were my original ideas though... :). Anyway, let me know what you think.

Looks nice but I wouldn't let the Raiders know about the use of their logo unless you got their express, written permission. ;)
 
It came out real sweet, but you're catering to a very niche market. Might take a while to find the "right ass for the seat". :) Good luck though.
 
wouldnt be to hard to convert it back to a Bosconian...cab looks like its in great shape..:)

j/k good luck on your sale
 
That's BS for your wife's friends to make you do all of that work and then say nah nevermind. Its definitely a niche market. I think you did a great job on the cab.
 
Do we really need to start with the "how much can a Raider fan afford" jokes? ;)

$600-$700 maybe? I have no idea since its pointed specifically for a fan of the Raiders.
 
A raiders fan will probably buy it.
Does it have a knife in the coin slot that will cut you if you show up wearing another teams jersey?


Seriously though raiders fans are nuts, they will buy anything in silver and black.
I would start high and OBO on CL.
Good luck.

I would also hit up any local bars where Raider fans hang.
 
Raiders suck but that cabinet is super nice good job! I have a friend that would buy that in a heart beat if it were local because he is a "raider nut job".
 
48 in 1 didn't have trackball support did it?

It is a very nice machine. $1000 isn't unreasonable though I don't think it would sell real fast at that price. $650 and it's gone in a day or 2 I bet. If you don't mind waiting a month with craigslist you probably get your G.
 
Wow! Thanks for all the great replies! It was definately difficult for me to do this cab seeing as how I don't like the Raiders! The side art suggestion with the "tuck rule" picture was hilarious... I'm in Visalia, California, and practically every third person you see is a Raider fan, so even though I realize it's a very niche scheme, I don't forsee having a problem selling it locally. Guess I'll just list it on cl with a crack-smokingly high price and see what happens...

The Oregon....uhh never mind you guy's don't have a real football team.
I guess you will have to settle for the Ducks quack quack.
