Hey all. I'm looking at buying an arcade cabinet to fix up and resell. (I'm not made of money But I will get to play it until it goes!)

I've never done anything like this, so I'm looking for advice. It's for Rolling Thunder standup cabinet. I have no idea yet the condition, but I know that makes a biiig difference.

I'm looking for tips on how to verify it's authenticity, how much it's actually worth, and the best way to sell it, and anything else to look out for. Any tips?

I'd says Craigslist and Ebay are your best bets. I know a guy who has a couple of arcade cabinets. I guess they just take a big game cartridge and you slide out the carboard logo on the box and voila you have a different arcade.
