Yeah, if she knows the right buyers she can get back quite a bit of money from this buy :)

She said she was just going to toss it all out, but I convinced her that there was value in it. So, she gave it to me and said "Do whatever you want. If you can sell them, you can keep the money,"
I enjoy reading about arcade cabinets. I don't own one though... :(

As far as i know, all of it is bought by Rklok (Ronnie), a dutch guy based in Apeldoorn who's sells Japanese arcade cabinets, games and retro stuff etc.
He is in Japan now and was busy with this deal a couple days ago.

Good to know it's coming this way :)

no emotions at all when i look at the pics. i am glad that i am not infected by this kind of virus.
those cabs are freakin ugly in my opinion.
Looking for Dragons Lair 1 or 2, Space Ace, Double Dragon, Robotron and yeah... a Shinobi would be cool, too!

The cabs themselves, yes, are just generic JAMMA themselves and look fairly bland. But, there are some good games in there, such as Metal Slug X, TETRIS, Street Fighter Zero 2 (A.K.A. Street Fighter Alpha 2), and Puzzle Fighter X.
