Please tell me this is a joke
« on: November 04, 2007, 02:11:23 pm »
This guy is trying to sell a "custom" mrs pacman that his neighbor made for his kids.  He so boldly say why would you buy junk that is from 1982 when you can have this custom made cabinet with leather control panel.  My question is why would anyone by this piece of junk.  I doubt that it even has a real mrs pacman board in it.

I like how it's a private auction, in case you don't want anyone knowing you're trying to purchase the worst looking Pac-Man themed cab ever.   Leather control panel?  Tiny artwork?  Horizontal monitor?  No start buttons?  First word of every sentence not capitalized in description?  All for $500?!  Some people are truly monsters!

You doubt if there's a Pac PCB in this one ? Ever seen a _horizontal_ Pac ?

It's a Jakk's game inside that thing......was all over the KLOV forum this one :)

lol, the monitor.

Not only was it installed at the wrong angle, the top part of the maze can't be seen. How the hell can he expect $500 bucks for this piece of crap? Not even an original working Ms. Pac-Man would go for that much.

seller appears to be a class act.  looking at his feedback you'll see where he's selling links to porn sites.

This has made the rounds on KLOV twice and it has gotten ugly. People have received personal threats from the seller for just making fun of it on the message board. The seller is a dimwit moron that things that he has a right to threaten you for calling out his total crapbox.

Don't ask him any questions through eBay, and don't email him. Ignore him and let it go away...

$499!? I wouldn't even pay $4.99 for that piece of crap.

$499 is what I paid for a sophisticated table saw.
