Pretty cool!  I believe it is complete.  If interested please email lloyd@coinopwarehouse.com for pictures.  I am asking $900 for it.  It is located at www.coinopwarehouse.com in Hagerstown, Maryland.  My cell is 703-801-1459 if you wanted to call.  Lloyd

aside:

searching for what this thing actually looks like, I came across http://www.atarimuseum.com/articles/phillyclassic/kiosks/kiosks.html.

I think my father would be happy if I finally got those boxes of coleco games out of the basement.  It's a trade off...  father happy, girlfriend going to kill me...  hmmm, lets see...  :-\

That's not very nice... (That's the most polite way I could say it.)

Didn't get any interest here from this group at any price except for one guy who it wasn't practical to ship it to, so I figured I must have overpriced it!  I would hope I am allowed to lower my prices when I make a mistake without getting beat up!  Lloyd

The BIN the first time he listed it was even higher... AND he wanted to ship it WITHOUT the cabinet.  The original auction stated that he intended to throw the cabinet away "to make it easier to ship".

 ;D

I have never listed this before, and I never said anything about throwing away the cabinet, so you are mistaking me for someone else.  People who make incorrect statements without knowing what they are talking about ruin newsgroups!

Well I wouldn't be the first person to stick my foot in my mouth, but I won't be the last to admit he's wrong, either. I do have a suggestion, though.

If you think it's something people here would be interested in if you lowered the price, tell everybody here about the lowered price as well. Reduces confusion cuz you KNOW it'll get found on Ebay by SOMEONE here. Plus link your Ebay auction here. Maybe you'll find a bite.

Oooh, my bad.  I apologize for that one.  I had you mixed up with this guy:

I believe I stuck my whole leg in my mouth on that one.   :-[

The auction you link to is a riot.  Looks like the kid used his toes to type out the description.  And the S/H!!!  Wow!  $350.  Funny, funny stuff.

I loved the way he changed his mind about shipping mid-desciption as if he keyboard lacks that ever useful backspace key.  And did he use the word "rad"?

I really don't think coinopwarehouse is the same seller as the keyboard-challenged fellow.  Two entirely different auctions, just similar products.  One is in MD and the other in MN.

Just for fun, I read some of the joker's previous auctions, and it appears his keyboard is indeed missing the backspace, and the caps and caps-lock work intermittently.

err.. oops


EDIT: Scratch that oops... not the same guy.  Coinopwarehouse uses punctuation.

It's still not as bad as that cab action from a year ago where the woman showed one picture of the cab and about 20 pictures of her cats and kids (and even injected her warped political agenda in the description, complete with anti-French sentiments).  

...man I wish I saved that...

Wow, I feel like I was just reading the diary of a drunk man.  That was some of the funniest stuff I've ever read.   Some of my favorite partial item descrips (and I promise you there are all verbatim):

Vintage heavy duty shovel w? orginal dirt! 16 inches long this is a well played with heavy duty shovel! will look great in any collection ! if only this one could talk! if someone cracked ya in the head with this instant stitches

...i bought them from two very old people!

...eject button is mind blowing! shoots tape at ya be careful! ...seems to be ready to rock
