My guess is some clueless parent checked ebay for "pacman arcade machine" and found the real ones for >$500 thinking thats what this was.

Might have been funnier if the picture was shot in a way that made it look like a huge cabinet  ;D

I am a huge PacMan collector (spent over $2000 on eBay buying stuff!) and that is just INSANE.   I saw that before I saw it posted here.   The Highest I've personally seen these go without box is about $80. With box, about $140.

I have 2 extra ones of these that I've cleaned up and fixed switches on that have sticker glue seepage. I'll gladly sell for $45 each+shipping. :)

Reality still has not hit.  Starting bid now only $200.
Talk about being out of touch.

"Still works and everything is great condition. Requires batterys. Selling as a collectable only. Not for KIDS! This Pac-Man game can be played with 2 players and has 2 built in joy sticks"

Not for kids! lol
Who then? Old men in hats? The criminally insane? Aliens? Who does he think his market is?

OH MY GOD ! ! !

I remember that pacman game that only played 2 players.I used to play it all the time and I think I will buy it for $500 even though it says "NOT FOR KID !".

Is this really a 2 players pacman game(what the f_uck is 2 players pacman game.....anyone?) or some kind of machine with a hard drive filled with dirty porn.

NOT FOR KIDS !#%! !! !

I like that he SHOWS you the (marked down) 20 dollar price tag.

All for the low, low price of 300 bones.

HAHAHAHA

how stupid to keep the new price tag that he got it for... duh!

he should at least add an extra 9 in there to make it seem like he isn't reaming anyone who bids

What is the world coming to!?  I can see the guy wants to make some $$$.  (Don't we all, need it to spend on controls, interfaces, wiring, monitor, wood... 8))  But geese, have some common sense and remove the price tag!  I can't believe what things go for (and don't go for) on eBay!

"The seller ended this listing early because the item is no longer available for sale. "

My guess us he pulled it, put an artificially inflated bid, and re-listed it, so the next guy would think he's getting the deal of the century at only $200?

I bought one of these for $40.  Pretty close to what they originally sold for.  Only diff is that mine has a ripped marquee sticker, easily reprinted at Kinkos for a buck or two from artwork available online.  The guy needs to look at one of the dozens of recently completed auctions on this item.   :P
