A little bit of involuntary comedy for the German posters here...
Turnarcades:
The German model I get, and it looks like a bold attempt at modern styling. I don't get the price tag at all though - is it a joke?
That French one though, simply vile. I do remember being once though someone came to us wanting a cheap Bar-Top but wanted it to look 'like a candy cab' and have a coin slot. When I said that would be difficult and look terrible, he went and bought one of these instead. I gladly stand by my words.

Re: the steep price, as somebody stated before (I think) it says in the description that he sold the complete first batch via the Ebay auction and now raised the price so that nobody would buy another one. I don't get the logic either but there you go.
As for the rest, yeah, a Candy Cab bartop is probably pretty difficult to pull off. This guy seemed to think that the colour white equals Candy Cab, though. What an atrocity... it's amazing how much talent some people have when it comes to technical stuff and wood-/ metalworking skills, but at the same time how seriously lacking they are in the design department...

I believe it's a trick used by some ebay sellers to avoid having to pay re-listing fees.

The latter one makes me think of a fast food order register turned on its back. But for a commercial unit, it's not bad....except that a small pry bar would rip it right open.
