    Well, you read it wrong. He will pack and pallet it for $30, THEN the buyer pays for the freight shipping.

    I wonder how much a machine like that will go for??

    Whoops! Wonder why they don't have a shipping quote dongle in that auction, then? This seller's been around long enough to know about that, after all...but if somebody were to buy this, they'd better contact him in the first place anyhow.

    i think its common sense to know that it will cost more than $30 to send this big machine. He also writes "see description" and it says clearly in the auction that the $30 is for palleting it up and the buyer have to pay the rest of the shipping. I guess it will go for $200 ++

    Shipping arcade games costs on average between $200-$300, depending on distance and weight. I'm guessing that thing is heavy because of the motors involved, although without a monitor, it might end up weighing around the same as a heavy arcade game (300lbs).

    I've actually seen and played this game as a child. It's REALLY fun, and not TOO hard.

    As have I. I remember that it was really fun to play (except on the last boss, I kinda cheated and used both hands to beat him. )
