[Finally Own Flat]

Hey I'm looking at ebay and the only candy cabs for sale especially Egret, but I can't find any.
Are they still sold? Anyone got any links?
Thans.

You're about 15 years too late to find any deals. Even piss yellowed stinky astros with missing parts and body damage sell for over 1,000 USD now. All you can really do is post WTB ads on various forms and stretch your butt hole wide.

I'd say you're 20 years late. Pray to Bira Bira and good luck.

At the 2012 California Extreme show, someone had brought in a Taito Egret cab for sale at $750.00 usd on the first day of the show. It was removed from the show by the second day and had to assume that it had been sold. You might scour on the Yahoo Japan auction site to see if one is offered for sale nowadays but with shipping from Japan to Europe will be quite pricey -- it's a given. The Taito Egret II is another highly sought after candy cab as well with prices averaging north of $6,500-$7,000 usd quite easily nowadays (assuming if one is selling theirs which seldomly happens nowadays). Plenty of patience and a bit of lady luck is needed to source one indeed.

Like the other guys said, just don't do it. You're basically buying a 30 year old tv prone to failure in a fancy shell with some sticks and stickers for a few thousand. Just get a tv if you really want a crt.
