Picked up a Generic "supreme video" jamma cab. Fully working and good condition with 5 game boards.
£400 including delivery. Opinion?

It all depends on the game boards really, what were they?

jamma cab maybe £150ish + Martin to deliver would be about £200-250 normally so if the boards are good ones your fine.

As said above the boards will determine if you've overpaid or not. What will affect the price of the boards (other than what game it is) is whether they're original or bootleg boards. The guys on here will be able to tell you if they're bootleg or original if you take a pic of each board.

As Pulstar says though they have to be legit & non boots otherwise half the price, Double Dragon I reckon seems to go for a ton as well now or thereabouts, I reckon you sound to have done well, IndyJones2014-04-18 15:59:24

If it's that one then you've not overpaid as long as you convert it back to Robotron. In fact, you've done well.

If not then it depends on whether you like the games and the cab! Personally I don't like any of those games so would value them very, very low (like £30 each) so the saving grace would be if it really is the Robotron.

BUT for all we know they may be your all time favourite games. In which case you've done well

can't really be any other way of looking at it!

Ah sweet. Might have got myself a rare cab then? Tbh I don't like any in particular. It was more the easy game change that comes with Jamma that appealed to me. I have a virtua striker 2 original cab so I was looking for a more hybrid solution

Haha yeah that's the one. Hmm quite controversy with it lol Was I a fool?

If those boards are legit theres prob 150 there, add 150 for a nice jamma cab and you may have overpaid by a ton, but as long as you enjoy it then its all good! We are all used to paying forum prices on things here, collectors prices for collectors

I'm in two minds whether that's a Robotron or not! I know it's got the Robotron bezel, general shape and possibly the control panel but what's with all the laminate sides and back???

[EDIT] And PS: No, not at all a rare cab, just one that if it is indeed a Robotron and you were to restore it back to it's original glory (in every way) then it will be worth one hell of a lot more than you've paid and you'd have no problem selling it. But see my previous doubt.
