Title: Selling my Mame machine
Post by: appleton71 on October 22, 2005, 09:07:24 pm

I've determined that it's more fun to build machines then play them so I've put my Mame cabinet out on eBay.

Nice machine!--you should mention that the lines people are seeing are not scratches--but reflections from the suspended ceiling--just a thought--I was thinking holy scratch until I looked a Bit closer.

You're not selling it, you're auctioning it. There is a difference.

Note added about the reflection.

I'm not too concerned about that.  It looks like that's geared more toward people that are mass producing cabinets or other commercial products.

He means in this thread.  You are not selling an item through BYOAC, you are auctioning off an item and using this as an advertising tool.  The end result is (hopefully) a sell, but people like to look at posts with items for sale that if the price is right they can buy it on the spot.  Auctions are another matter entirely.

Nice CAB by the way.  I hope it does sell.
