ROFL !!!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!

Dude, I looked at it again.... Starting bid is $850, and Reserve Not Met.....

This calls for a big W.T.F. !

OMG!!!! WTF?!!!!

Dude so many things SO wrong where to start??!?!?!

BLAHAHAHHAHAHH!!

Dude that's not only an X arcade... IT"S AN XARCADE SOLO

I can't go on, it's just so bad. so so so bad

What'll be next, just a desktop with a bezel duct taped to it and the side art on the computer case? He should put out the keyboard and call it a "rare alphanumeric controller with dedicated 4-way (the arrow keys)"

I gotta take a nap.

But this seller's other auction is a nice looking Gyrus machine for $50. I wonder what that seller is thinking?

I wonder if the cabinet portion of that is from an Aracnid Galaxy dart board, like youd find in a bar.. Its real shallow like that, with the overhang for lights

I'd love for them to submit it for the examples section for everyone to clown him to the point of tears.

WHAT A POS CAB...

OMG !!! That's a trailer !! He lives in a trailer !!

A applaud his efforts for trying, and seeing as he was actually able to pull it off, deserves another feather in his cap....but jeeez, what's with the DK thing?

I've seen some Scorpion machines at work and always wondered if one could be MAME'd. Now I know they CAN'T!

I wonder what happened to the DBA and coin mechs?

What does the fact that he lives in a trailer have to do with anything?

Pick on his cab.....

But leave his home alone.

paigeoliver · « **Reply #10 on:** April 24, 2004, 05:36:04 pm »

yes, I actually plan on buying a trailer in the next year. Plan on buying a cheap older one that is already on location for $2000-$3000 and then recarpeting, repaneling, and otherwise fixing it up, and then living in it until I save up enough to buy a house (with cash, so it will be 10 years).

I am betting that I will probably have the only Star Wars cockpit in the whole trailer park!

NY_in_TX · « **Reply #11 on:** April 24, 2004, 07:56:29 pm »

nothing wrong with a manufactured home at all.

It wouldn't be an issue is that cab looked like 1-Up's.

Stick to the point at hand...that thing is sad. I've made sadder, but not for sale on eBay for $850.

Please forgive the stereotyping!! I just found it rather amusing!

Come on mate ! , I'm sure you've heard the stabs before. All about those who live in a trailer...sort of simple-minded folk if you will. All I did was make a comparison as to why the cab looked the way it did. Simple Cab - Simple Folk ! No harm intended mate !!

PS ... It's your own society that places these labels upon the heads of your fellow brethren. Personally, I could care less if he lives in a trailer, log cabin , high rise ... or even a cardboard box(with wheels). I was wrong to associate his stylish cab with his convenient living arrangements.

Anywhoooo, I've been in the US long enough to catch a few slangs, learn my own simple way of life ... and even make a few friends , who do happen to live in a house on wheels....the first time my mates took me to a show .... we caught Jeff Foxworthy at the centre. I couldn't believe all the things this guy was talking about ... that is until I was told it's all in good fun, a joke upon sorts. Same rule applies here! I was just thinking about when I had seen the show.

I always have to explain myself to y'all

Relax mate ... have a good time.

I like where it says "No reserve auction" a few lines down from the "Reserve not met" next to the starting bid

It's a pretty "unique" design though, but I guess it's "unique" for a reason

Too bad it's a one day auction, otherwise someone might have put a bid on it.

flampoo · « **Reply #14 on:** April 26, 2004, 01:21:51 pm »

I wonder if he'll auction the plans for the cabinet?

rampy · « **Reply #15 on:** April 26, 2004, 02:01:20 pm »

it has the look of some sort of converted display from a store... know what I mean?

*shrug*

Didn't we just "do" that one already?

At least that one looks like an arcade game (well sorta).
