Seems pretty interesting, not too too expensive and appears like it would actually fit into the space in my basement.

Yea was worried it was going to be a cheap POS, oh well.  Guess I'll have to put the custom length BYO skee ball machine on the to do list.

Or keep an eye out for a skeeball wanna-be like a basketball version. These are usually shorter in length, and have a steeper ramp that lets you drop the ball onto several tiers of targets. I would estimate they are about 5' shorter than a regular skeeball. Go to chucky cheese to check it out.

Or you could watch Craigslist and pick up a REAL Skeeball like I did for really cheap.

Yea, I keep on eye on the local Rochester, NY craiglist, but never seen one up there.  I think my problem with a full size one is the wall I have for it, I only have just over 9ft in length, think the full size ones are usually 10 or 13.
