buying arcade games

[hanselthecaretaker]

I am on a mission to buy a Killer Instinct 2 arcade cabinet, but they're hard as fuck to find. There's one on ebay in california, (I'm in michigan) so shipping will be $$$$. Does anyone know a place where these are sold? Online?
Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks.

why not just buy a nintendo 64 and killer instinct gold? its pretty much the same thing i think, and much cheaper.

there's no comparison between the two. The n64 version was shit compared to the arcade, as is directly correlated by the difference in price. Plus, it's pretty damn cool to have an arcade game in your apartment, KI2, no less.

Dude, this is what you need. It even has KI2.

That would be cool dude, but it's a little more $$ than I want to spend on it.

I would kill for a Galaga one

Do a search for Arcade auctions. I can't remember the name of the companies, but there are a couple of Auction places that go around the states auctioning off arcade games. Some are in good shape, some not. Transportation is gonna be a bitch, no matter how you look at it. I've always wanted to build a sweet MAME cabinet, but just don't have the time.

I'd love a classic pac-man bar table game.
