Long time no post! We are about to send a container of games out to Dallas on the 12th, and we have room for 2-3 extra cabinets on the container. Our website has not been updated with stock because we had a huge bulk order that took away a lot of cabs, but we still have a couple nice New Astros, Blast Cities, and New Net Cities, a Vewlix Diamond Blue and Grigios ready to send immediately. Price will vary based on exact cabinet condition, but expect around $2200-$2700 for the CRT Sega cabs, $1800 for the Diamond Blue, and $1500 for Grigios. Pictures are available on request; I would post more right away but we are busy with prep for the container so I'd like to only spend time taking photos of stuff people have expressed interest in.
Shipping from Dallas will be available by STI or in person pickup.
After this, we're hard at work on trying to prepare a shipment of cabinets to Seattle targeting December/January which will likely include more Sega CRT cabs, some fully restored (IMO, "like new") Aeros, and some LCD cabs plus music games. If there is interest for anything else (full cabs only) for that container, let me know and we can try and procure it.
I know there has also been some interest in cab parts; right now we are parting out an Astro and have a Blast and possibly an original Net City that are candidates for that as well. If there is anything you are interested in that can be airmailed internationally, let me know and I will see what I can do.
As always, the best way to get a very fast response and updated info is at our Discord server linked in the OP but I will try and post more info here as well!

Are you on Arcade Otaku and UKVAC?
The market has definitely slowed in the last few years, but there are still cabs circulating around…

Good people. Went above and beyond to help me get a cabinet.
Figured I would post an update on our current status!
We have sent out a container of cabs purchased mostly by an arcade as well as a few private buyers, and have managed to secure another 40+ cabs or so.
As you can see, there is a lot to go through! This was taken BEFORE receiving another 2 shipments of 15+ Astros, Blasts, and New Net Cities. We're now completely full up again on both floors of our office with cabs and therefore ready to start making preparations for a second shipment of games which will be sent to Seattle around the end of December.
With regards to what we have, there are cabs in pretty much the full spectrum of condition. There are machines that rank among the nicest I have ever seen (like our Neo Candy 29, a few NNCs, and a few Astros + others) and then there are some that are absolutely physically disgusting (25+ years of tar buildup) as well as others almost every level in between. What this means is that we'll be able to offer some machines at all sorts of price levels based on condition. We aren't really planning on selling anything fully "as-is"; instead, we'll be going through machines one by one and fully evaluating their condition as well as doing basic repairs and testing (monitor, sound, controls, basic cleaning but not full teardowns).
The plan over the next month is to test and do basic work on as many games as we can and post them up with product pages on our site as we do so. We're starting with the games that either need the least work or have the most potential right away, and we'll keep going onwards from there. We've already sold (or have held for buyers of other games) a few machines going on the next container including 2 NNCs with great monitors and 2 similarly nice New Astros; I will post some photos later with pricing just so people can get a better idea of the full spectrum of what we can offer. Currently we have posted up a couple machines including:
(Note: all prices listed on this thread and on our website include a small transaction fee from the card payment processor we use. If you buy outside of our online storefront with a payment method with lower transaction fees we can offer a discount which works out to around $60-80 on an $1800 purchase. We can still provide you with an invoice and everything else that would come with buying through the online storefront.)
A very nice Neo Candy 29 - $2600
Astro City with MS9 (same as New Astro monitor), bright and sharp but burn rated 4/5 on our scale - $1780
Vewlix Diamond Blue - $1875
All Net PRAS3 cabinet (can buy an ALLS PC if desired) - $1350
Grigios (all very similar, pic is an example of one from the first group of cabs) - $1450
In addition to the cabs posted above, there is a Vewlix L, Groove Coaster, and Reflec Beat available with more pictures and info on our website.
All prices include shipping to Seattle. STI/Beltmann, Uship, or local pickup can be coordinated from there.
The next cabs we'll be doing final cleanup on, taking pics of, and posting up product pages for are a very nice Blast, a couple New Net Cities with really good monitors, and likely some burned but still sharp and bright Astro Cities and New Astro Cities mostly with MS9s.
We've also started the process of getting 6 Aero Cities and an SNK Candy 26 with burn-free monitors powdercoated and re-decaled with new Japan-produced repros by the same person who did this cab:
They probably won't be ready in time for our next shipment to Seattle, but I figured I would mention them anyway in case anyone is interested. We also have some parts available (possibly including recapped monitor chassis and Astro/Blast/NNC PSUs) that I will be posting up as time permits.
As usual, the best way to get effectively live updates on what we're up to is to join our Discord server linked in the OP, but I will try and post updates here when there is something meaningful to post. We're also semi-live-blogging various repairs and work that we're doing, so if you have an interest in that stuff it's worth a look as well.

If there is a chance to make them cheaper, I will do so (there are a couple uncertainties like domestic shipping costs to the painting place in Japan) but I would estimate it will be no more than $3000 flat. We will actually have one that was sold to us as a sample cab for the same process (which I posted a photo of above and will do a full photo shoot for soon) that we can put on this upcoming container if desired for $2800 since we didn't have to pay the same domestic shipping cost. I think I'll keep one of them for myself so I guess there will still be 6 available in total.
We will also have some unrestored ones in rough cosmetic condition but with similarly nice monitors for $1300-1600 (depending on the specific cab) that could be sent out on the December container as well. We'll of course clean those up as well as we can and do full monitor / sound / controls testing, but they won't have any major work done to them beyond that.
