What is the key to finding arcade cabinets for cheap (self.cade)

I've noticed it's really hard to find any affordable cabinets in my are - nothing under 500 at least. Do you all have any tricks/tips on how to locate cheap(er) cabs?

The best results I have personally found is when shopping locally. FB Marketplace, the occasional vendor mall, etc. Almost anything is better than eBay. Almost. Even Mercari is generally cheaper.

I managed to find a Marvel Super Heroes inside an Atari Showcase 33 cabinet for $500 near me on Facebook Marketplace. I don't have that kind of room for such a mammoth cab, but I was enticed.
