Title: The stupid crap you see on ebay...
Post by: HaRuMaN on October 01, 2007, 07:29:01 am
Ebay Link (http://cgi.ebay.com/60-IN-1-MULTICADE-ARCADE-GAME-bartop-mini-multigame_W0QQitemZ320164800619QQihZ011QQcategoryZ13716QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem)

He claims he paid over 2700 for it.  Either he's a liar, or I have a couple of bridges I would love to sell this guy...   ::)

Dudes already got a bid for $700 or so.  There is MAYBE $400 in parts (including the LCD)....

If he paid that much then how much did he pay for the VS cocktail and the Atari 720 in the background of the pictures.. and if its 400 in parts 700 is geat.. people need to make a profit..   But granted 2k+ is a little foolish....

I didn't notice those.  (Didn't get that far in to the photos).  That means this guy ISN'T some dumbass who'd have gotten taken for $2700 for a bartop,  but rather someone full of crap trying to sucker as many people to bid on is auction as possible.

Bravo.

Some people don't know what Mame is and the idea of having 60 games to play might seem worth it to the ignorant.

I have enough parts to build 3 of those. I can add 1000 games and sell it for a fortune :) Yes he's right there isn't many people in the public that know what MAME is or what it does. But saying you payed 2700.00 for it is a bit steep. And why only 60 games. Ask for pictures of the inside....I bet there's a motherboard with a lower end pentium in there. I think it's 60 games because he's limited by processor.

Message him and ask him who is he trying to fool with the price he paid. Tell him there better be 60 jamma PCB'S in that cab too.

I see I mispelled the term, but I didn't just make it up, it's been around. It's the ubber exaggeration of ROFL, like WTFOMGBBQ is to WTF. See, I found a pic of a roflecopter as the first item on a web search.

I know it's a retarded term, but it suited this retarded ebay item.

He misspelled it again in his explanation.  Unless that's the old english version.

What's an ubber?  Is that like when you flip a cow upside down and the teets all flap to the side?

Why did you go and lie about how much you paid in your auction details, chad? I know you should make people think it's worth more than it is but come on.  :D

I messaged again asking him to come on here and prove the contents of that machine. We'll see if he shows up.

It's better off you can't see it, but it does say what is there in the link and you get the idea. NSFW, maybe.

iCade?  Is this a recognizable front end?  If it is a MAME based arcade, isn't that a violation of the MAME license?

I think the expensive price is because... even though the cab looks to be made of 1/2" material, you get the upgraded 3/4" T-Molding.  Nice, right?

Oh com'n no comments about the bubbled shelf paper or irredecent CP or FUGLY color combo and of course being hand crafted in the USA in someone's backyard. And of course the super duper hand turned legs from an old bar stool for a mere $2700. :laugh2:
I'll take 2 for kindling of target practice. >:D
