FS Arcade marquees for ONLY $976 on ebay!
« on: May 18, 2005, 04:53:38 pm »
Hi there!

Check out ebay right now and do a search for "arcade marquees".  Someone is actually trying to get $1201.66 Canadian (about $976 U.S.) for each used marquee!

Am I missing something?

Later...

I like how the one in that link says "pretty good condition"

That thing better be so dang new and shiny looking it could blind you from a mile away. I wouldn't pay that much if it included a mint condition cab with it.

Maybe they got their decimal in the wrong spot.

That's a lot of times to mess it up.

Well if you're using some sort of mass posting tool, you could make the same mistake a whole bunch of times.

I just have a hard time believing anyone would bother to post auctions at that price.

It would be like charging $50 for a #2 pencil.

The guy can't be completely out to lunch  ... he recently sold (not to me) a NeoGeo for $370ish (min bid at $330) ...  gotta be a typo.

I've sent him a question asking if they are indeed typos.

Cheers.

I bet it's fee advoidance. Seen a lot of it lately during their specials. I think they had 10 cent listing day yesterday and last week too. People list a lot of empty/fake listings then go back and edit them to be what they are really selling a few days later. Saves a lot of money but is against eBay rules.

If anyone is interested....

I have a Street Fighter II Champion Edition Marquee that just came out of a cab I bought. It looks like it was handmade (it's actually vinyl on plexi) and the edge cuts are horrible.  It is laying on the floor of my shop.  It is in REALLY GOOD condition, with the exception of the 8 times I stepped on it today and scratched it around on the concrete.  I'm only asking $475.00, HALF PRICE!

You guys better jump on this train before it leaves the station or it goes in the trash!

Thanks for the laff Mr. Sask!

Kev~
