Recommended PCB resellers, please?

[Ed Oscuro]

Looking for PCBs and I'd like to find out what everybody suggests. I'll probably start looking in my local classifieds, but I like to do things online sometimes, too.

Has anybody done business with This Site?

Most older PCBs I've seen at real auctions and on eBay go for $20-$30. I'd check RGVAC also, as there are a lot of inexpensive PCBs there as well. I've never dealt with that company before, but those prices seem higher than average.

I've never had a chance to buy any PCBs offline, unfortunately :/

I'll take that advice and run with it.

Two auctions ago that I attended, guys were standing around, trying to sell PCBs for $20. At the first auction I went to I bought a Championship Street Fighter II cab for $25 with a dead pcb. Before I could get out the door I had two different people offer me working pcb's for $20.

Also, comparing that guy's site to eBay right now:

Punchout PCB
eBay: $15
That Site: $122

Karate Champ PCB
eBay: $9.99
That Site: $122

Ikari Warriors PCB
eBay: $5
That Site: $88

I know that often retailers take better care of boards and are more careful with shipping and may be overall more professional, but at those kind of price differnces I think I'd check the'bay first for sure.

I agree with flack. Ebay is a pretty good resource for boards. Either there or check out RGVAC. Post a list of what you are looking for and see if anyone responds. You can usually find what you are after unless it's something that is still opped or really rare. Send a list of what you want my way and I might have some. I've got a few boards that I could be persuaded to let go!

Yep, ebay is great for PCB's. You can find some pretty good deals there.

If you're into NOS CPS2 kits, Trieu has some for sale at http://www.s-cstore.com Expensive yes, but worth it if you're into CPS2 stuff.

If you're thinking of neo/capcom stuff, MDGamesales and CosmicCo are quite good.

If you ever go out to a bar or laundry or restauraunt or other place with video games in them, look for a sticker with a company name and phone number. Then when you have time during the day on a weekday, call the company up and ask if they got some old boards or games they might be interested in getting rid of. If they don't, they still might give you some info on somebody local that can help you.

You might get lucky and get some stuff for free or meet one of the employees who could hook you up.
