The price for arcade boards is bound to go up and whoever owns them can sell them for any price people are willing to pay for them. I do agree with you when it comes to very rare boards that are not cataloged yet. But a lot of those boards get bought up, cataloged and then resold for around the same amount of money (minus cheap bootlegs).
More and more boards will die and they will become more valuable.
I wonder how hard / expensive it is to make your own!
No idea but i wish i had even a bootleg MK2 3.1 board and jamma harness or a bootleg SF board.
I know they sell pheonixed versions of hyper anniversary street fighter II turbo, Id like to eventually have one of those
Not to say that I'm some pirating asshole just looking to steal the games but, I have bought many different copies of
MKII and SF, I think I'm entitled to it just a bit but others might see that different.
This is exactly what I am talking about that is wrong to fucking do:

This is not a restored MK2 Cab this is a CPS2, SF HF' Cab with MK2 Artwork Shittedly Plastered everywhere with most likely running MAME
Which is def not worth 1,000$ When i can buy a MKII Cab' for 600/700$ + Shipping.
