Yep I pretty much took it in the behind but hopefully it will search and list properly now and get decent exposure.

I assume this was not sold due to the reserve not being met.

Maximus · « **Reply #332 on:** July 11, 2013, 11:43:23 am »

Yep it stalled out around $1,000 so I'm going to hang on to it, at least for now.

Maximus · « **Reply #333 on:** July 17, 2013, 01:01:55 pm »

Well it's off to it's new home this weekend, buyer is sending a shipping company for it, sold yesterday for $1800.

Vigo · « **Reply #334 on:** July 17, 2013, 01:10:54 pm »

Nice!!

mcseforsale · « **Reply #335 on:** July 17, 2013, 01:14:49 pm »

What's the word on the buyer? Is he/she a member of the gaming community or just someone who bought something really cool?

Not sure, they contacted me from an ad, not within the community.

So, figuring in labor, you made what....$.05 an hour?

Maximus · « **Reply #341 on:** July 17, 2013, 03:38:49 pm »

Just saw this one today.

I absolutely love this build. It's so original and appropriatly themed, all at the same time. Flashback to the early 80's and this would look perfect in the arcade room of some pizza joint!

Outstanding job!

DeLuSioNal29 · « **Reply #346 on:** July 30, 2013, 11:23:13 pm »

So, will there be a Donkey Kong Jr? Or even a Donkey Kong 3? :-)

Thanks flunky. I've said it before and I'll say it again your builds have always been great inspiration for me. Thank you for documenting them so well and sharing them with the community.

Hey thought i would show some pics of my barrel arcade I got going also. Its a little different but basically the same lol.. The monitor is going to be mounted to the top and not sure on the Board and power supply maybe mounting it on the inside wall of the barrel or making a little shelf for mounting. I'm basically going to set it up how I build my cocktail arcades. For the control panels im running with the same outline and size of the cocktail arcades I have been building just easier for me. I have a link to my arcade face book and I have some pic's on there. Should be done soon. https://www.facebook.com/customarcades
