Ebay Link

He claims he paid over 2700 for it. Either he's a liar, or I have a couple of bridges I would love to sell this guy...

The word Fugly comes to mind...

FrizzleFried · « **Reply #2 on:** October 01, 2007, 06:17:34 pm »

Dudes already got a bid for $700 or so. There is MAYBE $400 in parts (including the LCD)....

If he paid that much then how much did he pay for the VS cocktail and the Atari 720 in the background of the pictures.. and if its 400 in parts 700 is geat.. people need to make a profit.. But granted 2k+ is a little foolish....

I didn't notice those. (Didn't get that far in to the photos). That means this guy ISN'T some dumbass who'd have gotten taken for $2700 for a bartop, but rather someone full of crap trying to sucker as many people to bid on is auction as possible.

Bravo.

Some people don't know what Mame is and the idea of having 60 games to play might seem worth it to the ignorant.

shardian · « **Reply #7 on:** October 02, 2007, 09:07:50 am »

What is wrong with taking advantage of idiots who have way too much undeserved money?

psik0tik · « **Reply #8 on:** October 02, 2007, 01:19:27 pm »

I have enough parts to build 3 of those. I can add 1000 games and sell it for a fortune

Yes he's right there isn't many people in the public that know what MAME is or what it does. But saying you payed 2700.00 for it is a bit steep. And why only 60 games. Ask for pictures of the inside....I bet there's a motherboard with a lower end pentium in there. I think it's 60 games because he's limited by processor.

Just pointing out that he actually used this word.

I smell a custom title.

tommy · « **Reply #10 on:** October 02, 2007, 01:26:45 pm »

When did that become a word?

ChadTower · « **Reply #11 on:** October 02, 2007, 01:29:45 pm »

When he hit Post.

psik0tik · « **Reply #12 on:** October 02, 2007, 01:36:15 pm »

I messaged asking for pics of the inside.

tommy · « **Reply #13 on:** October 02, 2007, 02:03:55 pm »

Message him and ask him who is he trying to fool with the price he paid. Tell him there better be 60 jamma PCB'S in that cab too.

Make him understand that if his products are poor that we will reign down with great tommy upon him.

I see I mispelled the term, but I didn't just make it up, it's been around. It's the ubber exaggeration of ROFL, like WTFOMGBBQ is to WTF. See, I found a pic of a roflecopter as the first item on a web search.

I know it's a retarded term, but it suited this retarded ebay item.

ChadTower · « **Reply #17 on:** October 02, 2007, 02:38:46 pm »

He misspelled it again in his explanation. Unless that's the old english version.

What's an ubber? Is that like when you flip a cow upside down and the teets all flap to the side?

tommy · « **Reply #18 on:** October 02, 2007, 02:51:14 pm »

Why did you go and lie about how much you paid in your auction details, chad? I know you should make people think it's worth more than it is but come on.

ChadTower · « **Reply #19 on:** October 02, 2007, 02:52:48 pm »

Dammit, don't ruin the surprise. Yrmom just agreed to buy it for your birthday.

psik0tik · « **Reply #20 on:** October 02, 2007, 02:56:58 pm »

I messaged again asking him to come on here and prove the contents of that machine. We'll see if he shows up.

Oh come on, if you want anyone to click on the link, you to at least re-tag it.

tommy · « **Reply #24 on:** October 02, 2007, 03:06:49 pm »

It's better off you can't see it, but it does say what is there in the link and you get the idea. NSFW, maybe.

iCade? Is this a recognizable front end? If it is a MAME based arcade, isn't that a violation of the MAME license?

I found it

I think I found the source of this bartop... someone email him and ask him his prices... lol

Craigslist linky

bfauska · « **Reply #30 on:** October 03, 2007, 03:49:15 pm »

I think the expensive price is because... even though the cab looks to be made of 1/2" material, you get the upgraded 3/4" T-Molding. Nice, right?

WaRpEd · « **Reply #31 on:** October 03, 2007, 09:08:08 pm »

Oh com'n no comments about the bubbled shelf paper or irredecent CP or FUGLY color combo and of course being hand crafted in the USA in someone's backyard. And of course the super duper hand turned legs from an old bar stool for a mere $2700.

I'll take 2 for kindling of target practice.
