A good website for the tri-state listings. You can get an idea for your price. Note that the ones below $100 are usually damaged in some way.
As of right now, checking usamusements.com and the superauctions website, nothing is coming to NJ any time soon.

I am really bad at spelling...no really.

Do you know what state he is located in? I'm definitely going to be picking up an MVS soon and I would love if I could avoid shipping cost.
California.

Still working out details in email w/Matsu, seems he misses half the emails I send him :/
I have heard this before from other people. They say he is bad at answering emails, but very accomidating otherwise.

Well, he finally repliedThe only problem now is the shipping company only delivers to my front door. I live alone in a condo building and there's a small 5 step stairwell on my floor. I wonder if the guys would cart it up to my place for a few extra bucks...
I just say this post over at Killer Cabs. Maybe you have a friend or neighbor that would help you for 5 minutes. But if not, the only thing I can think of find is to find some kind of plank so you can carefully role it down the stairs.Well, he finally replied

Just waiting on him to take some pics of the cabs he has.
As for the moving, I'll most likely have a friend to help, but if not, I'll have a hand cart with big ole soft tires and straps to secure the cab to it. I'll also wrap the cab up in a soft blanket before placing it on the cart. I read the tech article on moving a cab by yourself and if that guy could lift the cab into his car alone, this should be a cakewalk.
Madman, good luck on getting some decent pics of the monitor. You have a PM, sorry it took so long to reply.

I got pics of it with a game running, couldn't see any burn in at all. Sent payment out during the week, I can't wait for it to get here.
You are going to love it. Do you already have a game to throw into it as soon as it is plugged in?

Yea, I built a supergun years ago so I've got a couple Jamma boards. Looking for a good deal on an MVS 4 slot.
If you use a 4 slot, make sure you connect the audio right, or you will burn out your mobo and speakers.

Yea, I saw those MVS->Jamma adapters that hook up the select button and have the audio connectors. Probably easy to do it yourself, I'd imagine. Seems EBay or the neo geo forums have the best prices on them (4 slots), the online stores are all expensive.
I would assume you would pay around $20-$25 for one of the adapters. It might be easier than trying to wire something up yourself, especially if in the future you plan on using the standard jamma connector.

Yeah, I agree on getting yourself a prewired adapter. I'm on the market for one myself. Any conversion you can revert by unplugging something is a winner for me.
This is the one I've been looking at: http://www.jammaboards.com/store/jam.../prod_198.html
This one is the exact same design for $10 less: http://www.arcademvs.com/ARCADE_ACESSERIOR.htm
you can't beat 14.99. That is the best price I have ever seen on a new mvs adapter.
