just kinda odd i was searching ebay for donkey kong (my daily ritual since im restoring a dk cab) and came across this..

that guy has to be crazy.. then again his name is assshapedheart.

I picked up both a marquee (nos) and cp overlay (with a couple tiny cig burns) for 25 bucks.. whats so special about this marquee haha..

/edit on second thought.. is the whole King of Kong movie producing a huge dk trend..?
if so that kinda sucks for us restoring haha.. dont bump up our bids cause you want a marquee to hang on your wall..

It's not him; he started the auction at 9.99.  It's the buyers who are running it up.

I am glad I looked at this one :o  This guy is in my home town and he has several 'project' cabs for sale $100 each with no reserve.  He even has an old Astoroids machine.  Some of these machines even work.  Dang if I wasn't broke and had a ton of other projects that needed doing around the house I'd jump on one of these cabs.
