You GOTTA see that....
-
suddenly, i feel much better about my cabinet
...sorry, that's mean :dunno
-
Hahahaha....that is what I was thinking. I told my wife that the next time she thinks my construction skillz need a little work, to remember this auction!
Here is a picture for the lazy amongst us...
-
Lol... he should just throw away the box thingy and sell the parts.
-
He should...the to add insult to injury that Buy In Now price of $1,500 DOESN'T INCLUDE THE PC!
-
Someone buy it, put it in their house, and then have a jerky relative touch the exposed anode. Then sue this guy for every penny he has and 40% of his blood.
-
Already a thread about the monstrosity.

POS!
-
machines like this sell for over $3000 on ebay?!
oh man that's beautiful, I laughed so hard I had to go and lie down.
-
Gotta love the single bid thus far....$.01.
I think I will go bid $.02 if it lets me. Hell, I'd even pay $100 or so just for the monitor...he can keep the rest of his crap.
-
Ahh! $.06 is the minimum bid. Had a hard time justifying it, but I pulled the trigger! I hope I win!
EDIT: Bah...i was out bid by the original bidder...it seems he put in a number over and above what I would shell out for such a contraption.
EDIT #2: Nope...I am now high bidder at $51.00...though the reservation hasn't been met. I'd go to $100, thats it. Then I'd tell the guy to shitcan the rest, I just want the monitor (and the trackball maybe).
EDIT #3: Hey...I think I am getting burned! He says: "The trackball is a white Happ 3" USB Trackball and is an independent connection (the 3 buttons above the trackball are connected through the trackball's USB). " but if you look at that photo, I would SWEAR that is a 2.25" TB, right?

It could be a 3" and the wires go to a circuit board on the trackball in the same location as the USB wire. It is just a visual trick the makes you think the the buttons are connected directly into the USB wire.

he has got 10 bids so far. I think his friends are up bidding for him. Its obvious that his reserve is 1500.00 to. I bet he pulls this auction when he comes to his senses about the price. I quote P.T. Barnum "Theres a sucker born every minute"

Guys be nice. Be nice. First of all it is probably a fellow member.
1st: The control panel is very very nicely laid out. It is proportionate and symmetrical far as I can tell from the couch.
2nd: The speakers are located and situated quite nicely and surely they must provide da BUMP!
C: The monitor mount is just simply to DIE FOR!!
:cheers:
Someone please send this guy a copy of Saint's book!
-
Wait. I know of 1 member from Jersey. PDB. Is this you? If it is nice cab bro.
-
7 of those bids were from me! I want that 25" monitor! I stopped at $101.50 and have been outbid....and yes, the RESERVE WASN'T MET at $101.50.
As for the control panel, uh...yah.
...and the speakers...um...sure.
...and the monitor mount IS the shiznit for sure!

Yea DK these things are correct but the monitor is out in the open, it doesn't come with a computer and the base is made with a 2x4 frame wrapped in fabric. He is just asking too much for a piece of junk plus some good parts.
31 buttons
4 joysticks
IPac 4-player interface
Happ trackball with USB cable
Arcade VGA
5.1 speaker syetem
and the monitor.
Total retail value of the parts could be around $700 tops and most of that is in the monitor.
-
Well I got outbid twice....I'm done
-
Wait. I know of 1 member from Jersey. PDB. Is this you? If it is nice cab bro.
Uh oh.... they are on to me.....
:laugh2:
-
There are at least a few members from NJ. That kid that keeps buying old cars and pins and can't figure out what to do with them is from NJ.
-
I think it would look pretty nice as a showcase cab, all he has to do is build the monitor section. He should probably shorten the base section by 6-8 inches and lose the 4-way stick, to save space. The speakers would go in the monitor section.
Cabs far worse than this have been listed on Ebay.

I wonder how he'll get it out of his basement? Does anyone have another one just like this that I can borrow and see if it will fit?

The seller ended this listing early because the item is no longer available for sale.
The wood on the CP reminds me of a bowling alley
-
Bidding has ended for this item at US $406.00. You were outbid.
Hahahaha...it got THAT high?!?
-
I think that's a pretty nice price for those parts ^^
-
Dude has both the Arcade VGA and Video Amp thrown in the deal.
