I'll just wait until a dedicated (and cheaper) cab comes along. I actually started looking on ebay for pinball machines and then I somehow got looking at tekken (again). Tekken 4 for $250?!?! wow, I definitely would have purchased it for that, I just don't ever see those type of deals, I'm definitely on the out for this type of stuff.

he's not an individual either I don't believe, since from his auctions it seems like he was at some type of show/convention, and has other various arcade games selling. I told him to contact me later if the price ever moved down, he was pretty adament that it wouldn't. Basically that's why someone would want it (not for tekken tag which is in it right now). He wouldn't budge on the price though, and he stated the same reason the Hammy did, that KI is rare and it's worth that the $550. Gas isn't an issue because I'd be using the company cargo van so that's paid for. I'm in Chicago and he's in a suburb that's about 30 minutes from where I'm at and about the same from where I used to live in the suburbs, it's not bad at all. $550 seems like a great deal to me - too good to be true? Really any input on anything would be helpful, the only thing I know is I love the game tekken and playing tag (or any version) in the arcade has always been fun and I think tekken tag will age a lot better than if I say buy tekken 3 since the tag feature is unique (& fun). It's got a 25" monitor he says is crystal clear.

Not that I'm in this to make money, I'm just wondering some common problems or issues with this type of machine. I see other older tekken cabinets selling for much more (or going for much more, not selling anyways), but those are in original cabinets. It's just I have no idea what it's worth. He has perfect feedback and I'd have to go pick it up in person anyways so I'm not worried about that. I was bidding on a tekken tag tournament cabinet (in a killer instinct cabinet and I can tell the control panel used to be for something Nintendo) and the auction ended (reserve not met) and the seller messaged me saying he'd sell it to me for $550 cash (I was the highest bidder at 405 - max of 450).
