I got a very nice 25" Wells Gardner 1-slot NeoGeo cab for $50(cdn)...the monitor looks new (although it is from 1991) with no burnin and the control is in very good condition. It came with Baseball Stars Professional (neogeo cart) but I've already ordered a few more.

I was very happy with it.

Also picked up a Targ set of boards/manual/monitor bezel for $10.

Not a bad haul for $75 canadian dollars.

I've got a couple of pix of the my new cab on my site if anyone is interested.

: I was just at an arcade auction last saturday, for my very first time, and found some crazy deals on games. I'll tell you a bit about my experience. First off, me and my brother came with only about $700, willing to spend it on a game or so. I'm also in canada so $700 is about $425 US. The auction started and a nice T2 pinball ver nice condition sold for about $1100 canadian. which is about $750 US. Afterwards some items got sold for very cheap, like Vitua Fighter in nearly in a mint cab for $200, and another one for $150 later on... But what was really crazy was that at first there were about 150 people at the auction, then after an hour or so it really died down and some people got some sweet deals. A 6-player X-men sold for $200!! It worked fine and has 2 25" monitors inside too! At the end they even started GIVING some games away such as a Hard Drivin Cabinet in really nice shape, it just wasnt working (could of just been a broken PCB). Also terminator 2 sold for $275, and lots of 4 players games sold for cheap, like Dungeons and Dragons (x3), The Avengers, Spiderman, and Sunset Riders all sold for about $100 each and they all worked fine and were in nice shape in their original cabs. If we didn't spend $475 on a Die Hard Arcade at the very beginning, we could of bought some of the cheaper ones so we were sort of disappointed, but we still got a pretty good deal.
