I'll finally make a decent Ultracade.
Title: Re: BYO-ULTRACADE !!!
Post by: IntruderAlert on June 13, 2005, 10:52:57 pm
a "MAME" compatible Ultracade on ebay would surely set off a few fireworks ;)

I personally think it is pretty ugly and wouldn't be caught dead with it on a cabinet in my house.

I missed something too. But I'm guessing that someone noticed someone else bidding on something on a certain online auction, then that someone posted something with the auction link, but someone else realised that it's in everyone's best interest not to show everyone the certain auction that someone is bidding on until it's all over. Or something like that.

Anything is better than the originals.

What I'd really like to do is get my hands on a full kit to reverse engineer the front end, but those are super expensive. Have I said too much?

This is building up to be the most anticipated gag of the century. Maybe this thread should be deleted so it doesn't get built up too much?

A quick ebay search is informative.  Way, way too informative :P

Somebody is trying to corner the market on bad 80's films.
Title: Re: BYO-ULTRACADE !!!
Post by: dema on June 14, 2005, 02:26:39 pm
I'm hoping all of this involves my suggestion a few weeks ago about someone building a real trash-cade cabinet with Ultracade...attributes. I'd love to see that. It'd be a riot.

Hey, all the bad 80s films ARE NOT for me, they are for the van driver at my work who isn't smart enough to use ebay by himself so he just tells me what movies he wants and I order them for him!!

I'm just glad it hasn't gone down the road of "hey fellas, guess what hot new idea I've got for building a cab?!?!?"  "Go ahead, guess.....I dare ya"

This Auction (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=6185614029&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1) is what I posted before it was over, then I edited it out. I don't see why people get all worked up over posting auctions. If someone gets an idea from a thread and does a simple search (like I did) they will find it anyway.

That's interesting, because that's not the auction I found (that was won by somebody else in this thread)

Just as long as they don't cyber-beat-your-ass, I'm pretty sure you'll be ok and come out of it with flying colors ;D  Stop worrying - seems like there's a joke in the works, so I'd bet the indignation isn't the kind to lose sleep over

Auctionsniper is DA BOMB!  Been using it for 4 years, you just can't beat THAT kind of satisfaction.  1% of the auction win up to $500.00 ($5.00 fee) .25 cent minimum for each WIN.  No charge for a losing bid! 

Nice at twice the price!

Good luck gang!

Kev~

And BTW, d@m^ you Paige for not winning the Ultracrap side art, bettah luck next time!

I use www.esnipe.com. works very well.

But just remember it doesn't matter when you put your bid in, the highest bid always wins.

true, but if you find a really undervalued item, and people haven't fought it out and bid it up, the person with the high bid at the time may not figure it's worth putting a higher proxy bid on it...it may stagnate and people may figure it's about the price where it should end- that's where a snipe is handy (either hand sniped or through a service..why get into a bidding war if you don't have to?
