Why are arcade cabinets still so expensive? It's just a glorified shell and controller set up for a little raspberry pi or something
then built it yourself faggot, if you want things done they cost money. If you think it is too expensive, come into the market a compete

You're actually complaining about that when it comes with two setups? Tons of places charge that much for a single.
>>3930417
Low sales volume
>>3930417
that a shitty bootleg.
Viewlix != Vewlix
The vewlix VS is less expensive than this piece of shit. around 3k.
but seriously who in his right mind would like a LCD arcade cabinet.
You my US friends are just lazy fucks. You can't imagine how easy you have it for arcade. price are a given compared to here and they are easy as fuck to find.
in 2 weeks I could rebuild Micheal Jackson's neverland arcade in my house.
Here I need to organize road trips in the shitty country side to find some old ass wood cabinets or forgotten PCB.
LCDs did nothing wrong

LDC is shit.
Anyway a 3k for a machine limited to shinny new games you can get for 10 bucks at gamespot.
Yep totally not retarded.
>>3930417
Low sales volume as >>3930452 stated. Also these are built for normies. You can always build your own. But to non geeks, they will pay.
Like the Nintendo Classic. Arm computer with a nintendo emu and 30 roms. Fuck it, build a raspberry pi emulation station with more emulators and roms for less.
holy shit buy a candy cab you fucking retard
you dont have to buy new
Because it's a niche market aimed at braindead dads who want a shitty mame cab without putting in any work.
You can literally build one of these things yourself for 200 dollars in parts, a bit more if you don't have an old PC or monitor lying around.
>>3930898
The 200 dollars parts is full bullshit if you want something good on a DIY project.
Grabbing an old arcade cabinet cost less than building a new one close to the quality of what we could see on arcade.
200 is the price for 2Players 6 buttons controls (start for each on of them)+ Power supply+ service buttons+jamma cables+ and a good Scart jamma converter to put a TV on that shit.
But 1/4 of that retarded price than we are talking.You will build a Real arcade cabinet with operable and changeable metal panel +Working coin door+Amp audio+21mm heavy MDF body+real arcade wheels+genuine arcade monitor like a hantarex polo+manual rotative system. A real paint job and side arts and T molding. You can even throw Chromed metal plate protection on the bottom.
Even if you can connect anything to a jamma. Fuck emulation grab PCB. Quality>quantity.
