I have the best luck at yard sales.. :rocker:
Yesterday, I bought a Double Dragon/ P.O.W Prisoners of war arcade machine for...$25.00!!!It included both marquees,plus a part list. The dude said it didnt work, but when it was plugged in you could hear music,etc.After me and my dad cleaned the thing quite a bit, it worked great!!!

Nice! Great to have, and if you don't want it, great to turn over for a nice profit or convert :)

I must say, I'm envious. Lately, rummage sales aren't giving me too much, other than random consoles in crappy condition. While you score a working arcade machine for cheap. Ah, time to go cry in the corner.

Kick ass. I hate hearing of arcade finds cause it reminds me of the double dragon II machine I passed up at a pawn for 75 bucks =\. One of these days I shall own an arcade machine! And another day I shall go to a garage sale. Probably gonna have to change my work hours for that.

Thats the balls man. LOL 25 bucks for an arcade was a good deal (make that great) even if you did need to fix it up a little.
Nobody else was looking at it? :hmm:

God you suck!
lol...
I spent 2 hours hitting rummage sales and the best I came up with was a PSX 1000 model (the pieces of shit.......) with 3 dumpy sports titles for $25... the lady was freaking nuts.

VERY nice find. I will someday own an arcade machine too. But first I'll need somewhere to put it and someway to get it home. I'm always worried I'm gonna find a great Arcade deal and then get screwed because I'll have no way of getting it home.
