Craigslist is to arcade games what ketchup is to applesauce
« on: November 06, 2014, 08:06:52 pm »
This:  http://sfbay.craigslist.org/sfc/vgm/4714328388.html

LOL.... 4k for this "MOMA" beauty.  Sounds like a 60-in-1 Jamma-based cocktail cabinet.  I'll admit that the look is nice, but that's about it.  And based on what I'm seeing I doubt that's even a real picture. 

I'm still new at this but I pity the person that thinks this is worth it.  Maybe I'm just not appreciative enough that it was "designed in Germany".

Huh. In buffalo people want to trade ski boats for their overpriced burned in arcade games and or Mame cabinets.
Don't see many cab designed all the way out in Germany in these here parts. Woooohheeee.
You west coasters sure do get fancy.

shame about the exposed heads around the joystick.
On forums jimmer speaks for himself as a Defender fan, not as proprietor of www.jbgaming.co.uk  << Is that advertising or disclosure ? or both ?

Will someone build this damn thing for $500 so we can prove it's not worth anywhere near $3k on any market?

Isn't the "company" also out of business?

Nothing says "style" like razor sharp corners everywhere.  Looks like South Park's idea of a Canadian arcade machine. :)

You guys are killin' me :)  Glad to see that people can joke here!

I prefer a smoother look to the sharp lines but do like seeing something other than black cabinets sometimes.

As for Germany, you can't trust anything that comes from a country that mobs David Hasselhoff.

They also make good looking women.  Nope.  Wait.  Thats the Swedish.  God women from Sweden are beautiful.  Okay.  Now what were we talking about?

Met quite a few in the Caribbean that were down there dodging taxes.  Didn't seem to be extraordinarily attractive.

Good point.

Here's my interp: He said "You have no idea the amount of compliments this gets me!" that sounds like a charlatan way of hiding the fact that they're getting little or no compliments.
