:'(It's a real shame this guy is destroying working arcade games because he didn't sell them on ebay as a complete working game.

I saw that too, then he blames it on the buyers. Most nice cabs on ebay seem to sell very well, esp. the older collectibles, I don't understand why he didnt' get a reasonable bid. oh well, it is a free country and this is what happens (course, we are also free to critisize!).
-
'tis true, the cabs are worth probably 3 times as much parted out as they are whole. :'(
Expect to see much more of that sort of thing.

If he'd keep the same name, and work at getting a decent feedback rating, it would help.
His "can't see anything" pics don't help either.
-
be interesting to see if he get's more than $102.50 for everything parted out.

There's a case in point.
Nobody can see the condition of that machine, or any of the art/controls/etc... in that picture.
I'm guessing that most of you, like me, are not going to pay top dollar for a cab without being able to see the details.
EDIT: Especially not from someone with only 12 total feedbacks--whom I suspect some of them are from a buddy or himself.
I base that on the fact that he lists everything with those "football/diving/racing/basketball" trading card frames, and some of his feedbacks are from others who do the same.
-
i think he just needs to relist that and take like 10 pics with various closeups
-
If he knew how to take decent pictures and use a good photo hosting source he could get tons more for his stuff.
But then again, a lot of people shy away from PolePosition due to the tempermental boards
