Is this guy crazy to ask this much? Is it legal?
DeLuSioNal29:
I've read the following posting on craigslist and it seems that this guy wants $600 for a 2 player box. Is it me, or is he trying to use the MAME roms to trick people into thinking they are getting a whole deal here?

What a disgrace to the arcade community.

It's not you. It's a stretch to think this is the whole deal.
For one, it's not even an entire cabinet.
Second, that thing is pretty ugly. He's got this half-way decent looking CP (not a design I would choose however) plopped right into this ugly brown unfinished box. The box doesn't even look complete nor does it appear to be squared off. It looks like he used that flimsy paper-like pressed lumber and put it together using penny nails.
Third, is that supposed to be the marquee in that one little box? What the ---fudgesicle--- is anyone supposed to do with that? Mount it on their entertainment system above the TV or something?
Lastly, for $600, the seller should at least have the decency to include the :censored: PC. His comment about,

seems to imply that the seller isn't including the PC at all!
I'm sorry, but for $600 I expect quite a bit better workmanship than that.

What an arse :angry:
His AIM name (eggrolltype4) is on there, i suspect that will be his email too (eggrolltype4@aol.com). I think he should receive an email or 200

Nor is he including the monitor.

There is nothing wrong about asking $600 for a control panel, with lovely cardboard brown surround.
It wasn't not too long ago when someone here wanted to charge $5400 for a arcade cab without a spinner.
You can only ask right? :cheers:
