Wow This Is sort of depressing

[MrAtari2600]

been looking for 2 months believe it or not,

I found the system!

sure it has a few things wrong, but who says aint fixable

i can fix it with the help of geniuses like you guys.

 

 

i found the arcade machine on ebay, the one i was looking for

the type of board, the type of cabinet!

not bad condition ( piece missing and buzzes on game boot)

And then i asked and

and hes in the US -.-'

I suppose so.

 

However, if you suggested having yourself schedule and pay for door-to-door freight pick-up/deliverly, he might go along with it.

 

The reason sellers don't like to ship, particularly big items, is: cost, effort, time, liability, responcibility. They just want someone to come pick it up so they can be over and done with it. I don't blame them.

[MrAtari2600]

its in california,

You guys don't have phone books or truck freight companies up Canada?

 

But seriously, pick up a phone book, look under freight or trucking. Call and ask how much to make a round trip to/from CA, USA. Use the internet too. Google "freight". Or use the internet yellowpages.

 

There is really nothing to it other then telling them what they are picking up, where it is, who they are picking it up from, when to get it, where to deliver it, who to deliver it to, and when to deliver it.

 

Cost? Not a clue, you'de have to call around. Most are based on some weight/size/quanity/mileage formula. But all won't be the same.

 

Before you make the research effort, find out if the seller would accept this first.

 

and i somehow need to ship it to the border so i can drive myself for half hour and pick it up

Psst! The border is not an invisible wall. Planes and trucks can pass through it.

GOOD POINT

its monday sorry.

im gona do that once i get home from school ( im in class currently )

only typing a note tho

Did you by chance contact that one Craigslist selling in Lansing yet? His post is still on there so it might be still available. He's got that Metal Slug machine for only $350, and I'd imagine it would have to be a lot cheaper to ship from here than CA!

 

Metal Slug Neo Geo Arcade Game - $350

 

[MrAtari2600]

Lansing, MI

[MrAtari2600]

Oooh,

Ok Missouri.

that would be cheaper.

a lot cheaper, since seeing it would have to go to northern Minnesota.

Thank you very much

i already have asked questions and will see what can happen,

the thing im worrying about it, scams and money scams...

[Artlover]

Ok Missouri.

Uh, Michigan. On the Canadian border.

Lansing is near me here in Michigan and thoses style of arcade cabs are pretty nice.My friend Marc got one of these a few years back and had it shipped over from Japan if am right.

 

He has a Dreamcast hooked up in right now with CVS2 running in it but it can run X-Box,PS2,plus Arcade boards very sweet.
