Thats a bummer... do you have local online listings? I know here in the US CraigsList is very popuar and in Canada they use Kajiji... those usually end up being better than eBay for Arcade machines.

It's been said that there are two types of people who sell arcade machines. People "Selling" Arcade Machines and People "Getting Rid of" Arcade Machines.

People on eBay only ever fall into the first category, and people in the second category only ever post on local listings (if they post anywhere at all).

If you're patient and check listings daily you can get some really REALLY cheap machines, but it requires lots of patience and diligence.
