Looks like you can get a 3 month payment plan. Hmm.....2,000,000 / 3 = TOO MUCH DAMN MONEY per month.  That is just crazy.  I hope nobody buys that.

Eeech, I just wait for Pinmame and/or FuturePinball to emulate it.  The time I will wait will not certainly be worth the two mills. :dunno

That is a bit pricy for a game that only rates 7.2 on the ipdb.

http://www.ipdb.org/search.pl?any=elvis&searchtype=quick

I think he should lower lower the price to at least 1.9M maybe even 1.8M.

Well he IS throwing in the shipping for free if you buy it now.   :laugh2:
How much would ebay make on that sale if someone was stupid enough to buy it?

Yeah!  He's also selling a CD Jukebox that in his title he claims is full size.... then in the description he claims is 2/3 size, and given that I have one on my shelf it's actually 1/5 full size...   Cost me

Have you seen his other sales:

He has a Harley Davidson pinball up for 2 mil too.  I'm guessing he just has these ridiculous auctions to get attention.

Oh, look at his feedback... he's buying up every new Tickle Me Elmo he can get his hands on.  I'm gonna laugh my tail off if the Elmo frenzy everyone's expecting doesn't materialize...

The funniest thing to me is that his username is "GreatPrices"!

How much is the listing fee on a $2,000,000 machine or a $20,000,000 $5 bill?

Man, to uplink to a satelite this guy must be a rocket scientist. Lets check his grammar shall we:

Quote
911 COVER UP SEE FOR YOUR SELF
I WAS NOT GOING TO DO THIS BUT I BELIEVE  EVERY AMERICAN SHOULD SEE THIS .!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
DO YOU WANT TO SEE THE TRUTH ABOUT THE 911 COVER UP? HOW AND WHO  PLANNED THE WHOLE THING?
THIS CD IS OVER 3 HOURS LONG, YOU WILL RECIEVE  2 CDS THAT WERE GIVEN TO ME
CAUGHT ON SATTLE LIGHT .
FARNEHIGHT 911 IS A COVER UP FOR BUSH?????????

YOU WILL SEE FOR YOUR SELF.
GUESS WHO WAS DOING SECURITY AT THE WHITE HOUSE THAT DAY ON 911 YOU WILL SEE. SEE JOHN C. AND BUSH IT WILL BLOW YOUR MIND. I DO NOT HOLD ANY RESPONSIBILTY FOR THIS CD YOU ARE ABOUT TO WATCH. I COULD NOT GET ANYONE TO AIR THIS ON TV, HUM WONDER WHY, YOU WILL SEE. YOU WILL SEE THE MAN THAT BUILT THE TOWERS, TO WITH STAND ANY AIR CRAFT .YOU WILL ALSO SEE
THE GOVERNOR OF CALIFORNIA, AND YOU WILL NOT LIKE THIS AT ALL. AS A MATER OF FACT, YOU WILL NOT LIKE THE WHOLE CD. BECAUSE IT WILL SHOW YOU THE TRUTH . I HOLD NOT RESPONSIBILTY FOR WHAT YOU ARE ABOUT TO SEE. THIS MUST BE BOUGHT BY SOMEONE VERY POWERFUL AND NOT SCARED, PLEASE GET THIS OUT TO THE PRESS. DONALD TRUMP WHERE ARE YOU?
JUDGE FOR YOUR SELF. ONLY SOMEONE SO POWER FULL AND NOT SCARED SHOULD BY THE CD, NO MEDIA COVERAGE. EVER WONDER WHAT HAPPENED TO THE BLACK BOXES , IN THE PLANS, THEY DO NOT  BURN UP. BOTTOM LINE JUDGE FOR YOUR SELF, I GAVE THIS ALOT OF THOUGHT  YOU WILL BE VERY DISTURBED WHEN YOU SEE THIS CD. AFTER IT LEAVES MY HANDS I WANT NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS, ALL I ASK IS PLEASE AIR THE CD, GET IT OUT TO THE USA PLEASE , WERE IN BIG TROUBLE  WITH B. AS OUR PRESIDENT. SEE HOW CLOSE BEN LOUDEN  IS TO BUSH. SEE HOW IT WAS ALL PLANNED OUT, DO YOU WONDER WHY BUSH WAS NOT AT THE WHITE HOUSE THAT DAY, SEE FOR YOUR SELF. AND YOU WILL SEE ON YOUR 2 CDS  THINGS AMERICANS DO NOT KNOW. DO YOU REALLY THINK BUSH WOULD LET FAIRENHIGHT GET THAT CLOSE HECK NO. I SURE HOPE EBAY WILL  NOT PULL THIS OFF THE AUCTION
 CONTACT ME.ANY QUESTION CONTACT ME .
LIKE I SAID YOU WILL SEE THE TRUTH, I NEED SOMEONE
VERY POWERFUL TO BUY THIS. I WILL NOT TAKE LESS THAN , WHAT MY ASKING PRICE IS, FOR WHAT I HAVE. IF ANY RUDE COMMENTS ARE MADE BY THIS I DO HAVE YOUR ISP ADDRESS AND YOU WILL BE REPORTED TO EBAY.
SEE WHO  LET ALL THIS HAPPEN, SEE FOR YOUR SELF.
JUST BE READY FOR WHAT YOU WILL BE SEEING.

So then, a few "different people" start asking "Serious" questions about the media in question (Notice the similarity in dumb@$$-ness in the grammar of the Question and the Answer):

Q: what dose the labe say on the disk

  Q: what dose the labe say on the disk

 Sep-12-06
  A: you get 2 cds YES ALL TRUE I NEED SOME ONE VERY POWERFUL TO BUY THIS AND AIR IT THE PUBLIC NEEDS TO KNOW THE TRUTH, YOU WILL NOT LIKE WHAT YOU SEE
 

And, witness in sheer amazement, the sensitive data in question that will knock our countries' moral pedestal out from under us:

Yet upon further examination using top-secret/high-tech techniques and equipment I gathered from my days as an International Super Spy, his ploy is revealed:

How can that be a double sided disc (label), if there is a print of a standard dvdr label on one side and a sticky label on top of that???  Is there another side to the disc in mmmm... another dimmension that I don't know about (it's the same dimmension that the guy probably lives as well :o )

The sticker is on the plastic "window" of the disc sleeve.

I'm just poking some fun at the guy.  It's pretty obvious that the white paper sleeve is from another dvd and that's why the label is partially ripped off from it.  I guess I have to spell it out.  For the money he's asking, he can't even provide a decent hard cover for the disc. ::)

Postalp123, you know I even met Al Goldstein.  Even was in his house.  It was less than 3 years ago.  He now lives in Staten Island here in NY.  He lost lots of weight and has Space Invaders coctail table in his living room :o.  Tried to get if from him, but he wanted to keep it as a conversational piece for his guests.  Well, guess what ... he's using it a a real cocktail table next to his sofa :-\.  In person, he was really a nice guy and told me couple interesting stories.

I feel sorry for whoever falls for that.  Some rich old elvis fan buys it thinking it an original and ends up with a cheap chinese knockoff.
