Title: First Arcade Purchase Post by: airsoftmodels on April 22, 2014, 02:44:14 pm Can somebody please tell me if this is a bad idea. These Sega Candy Cabinets have been on Craigslist by me for $250, they are Jamma and come with Donkey Kong and appear to be working. This would be my first arcade purchase. The monitors in them look huge. I would like to buy the 3 in 1 to get Donkey Kong. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks.

I'm not commenting on the price, I'm in the Uk so prices are way different, but in terms of the cabinet and the fun you can have with jamma boards etc, hours of fun. Title: Re: First Arcade Purchase Post by: atariforever2002 on April 22, 2014, 07:23:15 pm I'd buy both for the $400 if it were me....

Like John said.. You could sell the other cabs in the future! You can make a lot more than $250 on these cabs, prob. ;) Title: Re: First Arcade Purchase Post by: Jack Burton on April 23, 2014, 01:05:07 am My first arcade purchase will likely be Spy Hunter cockpit
