Now I don't feel so bad about my little project after looking at this ... and please... this is not mine.   ;D

Although I envy the finished results.

"The cabinet comes empty (no monitor, no PCB, no harness, no coin door) so that the winning bidder can build their own game. The pictures show what the game could look like with a game installed."

If you win the bid at 1.99 you'll still have to pay 45-75 packaging to the seller, plus 200 shipping.  so at the cheapest you'll spend 246.99, for an empty cabinet that you can't even see.

I can sell you a shoe box for $1.99 with a $75 packaging fee, and only 5 dollar shipping, I'll even include a picture of a sit down Star Wars game, which is what the shoe box COULD look like after you install the game, monitor, PCB, harness, coin door.("the game" being an original StarWars cabinet.)

I think you are misunderstanding the photo. I have bought from that guy before and everything was fine.

I THINK the phot is showing the actual cabinet with a marquee/panel/glass/etc so you can actually get an idea of what it is supposed to look like,

Anyway, you don't ship empty cabinets, that will be a local pickup for sure.
