I was about to post this too, adding the image for the record.
14" Monitor, I'm guessing those buttons are not good quality or full size

I'm guessing shipping to the UK for this would be slightly more than $5! ;D

LOL, The description is classic  :laugh2:

Congratulations! You’re on your way to financial freedom with the Midway 42400 12 Game Tabletop Arcade System. And you can tell that crummy job of yours: GAME OVER!

8/10 for comedy value in the description

But I seriously doubt the product

It's definite that they weren't serious, just being tongue in cheek. :)

The sticks and buttons look pretty cheap though.  Any potential of it being modifed though?  $5 for shipping?  That's insane!

whats inside though, if it were basically a 12 in 1 board with original game versions on it , it would be worth ripping apart and building a proper cab or bartop with good controls.

This is the same crappy Midway piece of junk Costco was selling as a full size (well,  more like a cabaret) for $199.  It sucked then and it sucked now.  As I stated over on KLOV,  the only benefit of this version over the larger version is this one is easier to get in to the trash can.
