Dude... Not COOL..  Why are you posting my ebay link and laughing at my cabinet?  Heh, like yours look any better than mine.

Thanks for posting this though, perhaps it will help me sell it faster to someone from here.  At least I know if someone purchases it from here then I know that they are going to give it a good home.

Man that would be fine if there was some time spent finishing it. The panel looks solid, and it comes with a pile of components. I think it will sell fine. You may want to list it in the computers / vintage section. It'd probably sell a bit faster there.

I find that these comments are non productive.  Yes sure people like to sell unfinished cabinets, but this website is not for elitists.  Its for those who like to try and make something.  Maybe others have made cabinets like these illustrated on ebay.

I have yet to see something you have created appear on this message board Turnarcades.

Maybe we can then judge your workmanship, for a change.   Do you have any pictures of current products?

It looks like we are always game for a laugh.....

OK, so I am now sitting by the window, anxiously awaiting the arrival of the four horsemen because I find myself in agreement with Ummon (or so he calls himself today), but that's neither here nor there.

Turnarcades was called out, perhaps rightfully so, he's a vendor, but he didn't shrink from the challange.

If it had been CheffoJeffo who started this thread, somebody would have quickly labelled him as a "Crybaby turd tosser egotistical self righteous miserable coward stink hole".

Is it me, or are the bloody poms getting preferential treatment ?

Seriously, I want to know the logic (or lack of) of putting acryclic picture frames on there. Some of those frames are so thick, I'm thinking those are "collectors" photos.

Q:     That is the ugliest game I have ever seen. Why not just convert it back to track and field and then you could sell it? Or just get rid of the stopwatches and lights and shoes and pictures of people running on the sides and all that other junk and sell it like that. I bet you could maybe get a couple hundred if you took all the crap off the machine. I wouldnt put that in my most hated ex-girlfriends house. Ugh    Mar-06-09

You gave me the link.

What I saw on that link was unfinished cabs, and some artist impressions probably made with MS Paint.  What I drew comparisons with was what you was commenting here vs the pictures in your link.  They were all unfinished.

If you have 60 cabs completed, would a completed pic be available?  A completed website even?

So the customer has to paint the cabinet himself, and add the controls.  I see.  You just cut the wood and flat pack it then?

Time and time again when I see these posts of yours, it has nothing positive.  If I was a full-time vendor, I would push my successful work, instead of commenting and showing an elitist attitude against others works.  I don't see any other vendors following your style of advertisement.  Or comic ??? endeavors.

Probably that is why I would not order anything from you.

Post by: BASS! on March 08, 2009, 06:45:30 am
I think Craig does a great job! I have seen his completed work, and he is doing what more of us should be doing: Introducing people to this hobby. His web site is admittedly not the best, which is understandable, because web skills are different than craftsmanship. I think that there are some of us that make money from this, and others that just enjoy the fun of building something ourselves, but what is the point of taking something so seriously that we feel the need to lash out at others.

Just have fun.

I think that cab is good enough for sale, not enough to warrant that abuse directed at the seller though. 

I didn't see anything funny about any of it.   :dunno

I'll leave it on a positive note.  More than 1000 viewers have seen this thread, which could only be LOVELY for those who were selling their cabs on Ebay.  Maybe Turnarcades can troll up some more cabs to make us aware to buy.

Great marketing idea.   :cheers:

To anyone who missed it, our website is currently being re-worked by a forum member here



You've settled on someone for the website re-design ?  Who's the lucky candidate, soon to receive their cab ?

Or did you go for a paid job, and save up some cash for Ratzz's services ?

If someone's doing the job ... why the need to keep that footer in your sig, which links to the thread where you're searching for candidates, and asking them to prepare mock-up's for your review ?  Are you still searching for back-up candidates ?
