How is that illegal? (If we are correctly assuming this is based on a Jakks and not a MAME). I assume Jakks properly licensed the IP for the games and that it doesn't come with a license that says for sale only for non-commercial use by the original purchaser.
How is this different than my saying "I paid $7.99 for that hacksaw, so you can borrow it, but I expect 25 cents each time I let you use it."
Sleazy, in both cases, but illegal???

It's not MAME for sure. He actually gives a board #. I can't find any at target or i'd take one apart for a look.
It's illegal to use parts from someone elses product, that is the board designed by JAKKS(or whoever), use it to build a new product and sell it off for profit. It's like me taking a 2 liter of coke, pouring it into small bottles and selling it as ElGwako-Cola. If CCE wanted to they could easily put a stop to it but i'm only one guy with 2liters of their product. This guy is playing the "I don't know anything about these" card and not actually admitting to what it is. Jakks could actually come down on him, but it's only one. He could even admit to what the product is and nothing would ever happen. Had he 100 of these for sale or something, I'm sure there would be a closer look at what it is.

I would bet that license is for home, not commercial, use -- just like all other consumer media products (it's not like you can legally put your XBox on route, right ?).
And there is a reason why machines on route need those pretty little tax stickers.
I wasn't intending to make a big issue out of the "illegally" ... I am really not offended by his charging for use (except that the seller was obviously lying), but perhaps my offense at the rest of this slipped over.
Cheers.

I've seen that exact one sell before, and it sold for a huge amount....
