He was smart and listed it in both collectibles and video games.  He's probably getting the high bids from the video games list.  I would think everybody in collectibles would know better.  ;D

"WAS GIVEN TO ME AS A GIFT"

"THE STARTING PRICE IS A FRACTION OF WHAT WAS PAID FOR THIS SYSTEM"

This person needs to make up their mind. Was it a gift or did you pay for it?

Truth is probably neither. "I built this myself"

That is shocking, it really isnt that nice.Seems like it should have went for a lot less.Maybe some rival bar owners got in bidding war over it.

Sounds like a case of ignorance to me. People on ebay dont know a nice item if it hit them in the head. $800 is wayyyy too pricey. Makes me wanna sell my bartop on ebay. Make some mad cash.  ;D

This is insane. I have a laptop I was looking to sell on ebay. Now Im rethinking....take $100 for a laptop or turn it into one of these...

This way I could have fun building it. Make it lighter and smaller and prettier.....and either keep it or worst case sell it and triple my money!!

This unit is not even that nice and using a laptop could be build much smaller.

Hope this guy is not including mame and roms. Sad sad sad.

Did this bother anyone else? First he started off with...

THIS IS A MAME SYSTEM, WAS GIVEN TO ME AS A GIFT, I DON'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT THEM, HAS HAD VERY LITTLE USE.  CONTAINS MANY CLASSIC GAMES, GALAGA, MS PACMAN, PACMAN, MR PACKMAN, JOUST, FROGGER, TOO MANY TO LIST!

Pacman, Ms. Pacman, Mr. Packman indeed... Yes, very noobish and cute.

Then he starts talking like this...



Quote
PICTURES DON'T DO THE GRAPHICS OR COLORS ANY JUSTICE, SYSTEM IS MINT, CRISP AND CLEAR.  THE WHITE LINE ON SIDE OF SYSTEM IS SUN GLARE, NO MARKS ON SYSTEMS CABINET.

A NICE COMPACT SYSTEM BARTOP STYLE, SMALL ENOUGH TO PUT ON A TABLE WITHOUT TAKING UP SO MUCH SPACE LIKE THE LARGER UNITS.

Oh, and the grizzled collector comes out to play. For not knowing much about them, he sure has the terminology down pretty well.

APf

Selling it WITH mame and roms already on it.  Surprised it didnt get pulled!  I figure, let the guy get as much as he can for it...why not :)  Encourages us to build bartops and sell them to stupid bar owners who will use illegal products to make money :D
