    I am sorry to make a thread about a price check, but there are a lot of things here I need answers about. Please don't delete this admins. I need a quick answer because the seller wants to get rid of the stuff immediately.

    I am considering buying a lot for $900. It seems like a great deal, but I have never dealt with arcade equipment and would like to hear some opinions from members. I have started looking up some prices, and I listed them below to determine if the bundle is worth it. Please correct them if you think they are wrong.

    Supernova with 2 joysticks - $300

    I found this link which is funny because the seller said he built it. Dunno if it's a clone but it looks exactly the same - even the joysticks.

    Neo Geo Hyper 64 Motherboard- ?
    I guess it's a fighting only board according to a page I found.
    comes with:
    Fatal Fury - ?

    Neo Geo MVS 1 Slot Motherboard - $50
    Neo Geo MVS 4 Slot Motherboard - $150
    comes with:
    Metal Slug X - loose - $30
    Samurai Shodown - loose - $10
    King of Fighters (Not sure which one) - loose - $10?
    King of the Monsters - loose - $20
    Nightmare in the dark - loose - $200
    2 more I'm not sure of
    2 Neo Geo AES Controllers - ?

    Naomi Motherboard - $50
    comes with:
    Virtual Tennis - loose - artwork for cab - $75
    Virtual Tennis 2 - loose - ?

    About 60 miscellaneous PCB boards including:
    Street Fighter - $50
    Mortal Kombat 2 - $75
    NBA Jam - $65
    Carnevil - $100 (maybe more)

    There is also a cab (no monitor), some more artwork, and various pieces such as jamma harnesses.

    I am planning to resell a lot of it, so is it worth my time?

    Thanks.

    I wouldn't say it is worth more than $50 or so because of the limited number of titles for it.

    Make sure that you get more than just the motherboard (e.g. the I/O board), or else you won't be able to use it.

    Best price I have seen for that in a while and I'd be glad to trade some of my arcade boards to you for it. :nod::dance:

    However, make sure that it has the hard drive (easily replaceable) and the Gun board (NOT replaceable, since the guy who bought the remaining warehouse stock refuses to sell them individually and no one else has any).

    Unfortunately, it doesn't have the gun card which is disappointing because the game looks awesome, and I have no other gun games right now but I have a box of guns sitting there.
