Can you confirm if this item is cursed or not?
Does it ever "do things" on it own, or randomly move about the house and you find it in different places.
Anything strange or unfortunate happen since it's been in your possession?

Lol, no, not yet.

 

[Coindork]

Lol, no, not yet.

Ok, just curious.
By the way, if it offers to grant you three wishes I would advise you decline.

If it does....how much for just the monkeys paw? Lol

 

[Coindork]

Don't be surprised when you go to ship this if strange things happen. Like you might drop it off at the post office only to drive home and find it sitting on your front porch opened and out of the shipping box. Just sitting there staring at you blowing bubbles.
Cursed objects are sometime hard to get rid of and often just keep reappearing when you thought you had made them go away.

Seems like a real good price for one, but I'm going to be seeing it in my nightmares all night every night now so I think that's sufficient. GLWTS

 

[vintagegamer]

Aw c'mon!! It's the gift that keeps on giving! Just sit it next to your Poltergeist and Close Encounters DVDs!!! Lol.

 

[Coindork]

The more I look at this, the more I understand why old people are angry and grumpy.
Seriously, you would be too if this was the kind of stuff you had to play with when you were a kid.

 

[MasterFygar]

Maybe it will help the sale if people know it's actually an arcade collectible.

 

[Coindork]

I'm considering it.
My wife is a goth chick that's into creepy shit.
She might actually like this thing.
Although it might be a bad thing to welcome it into the house.
You never know when an object like this might turn on you.

Sold pending pymt.

wow! did @Coindork buy this?! fucking-a right you better have!

 

[Coindork]

Yes, I wound up buying this.
I kept coming back to the listing and looking at it. I think the mistake I made was looking the monkey in the eyes. I think it may have used hypnotic powers and perhaps mind control to convince me to buy it.
I'll update the thread later when it arrives and keep you all informed of any strange happenings.

Just wait till you see the eyes light up!!!

I may have to put this thing in a cage like a Mogwai until I can figure out it's intentions.

I can assure you its intentions aren't honorable.

 

[vintagegamer]

It's all boxed up, and I sprinkled the box with some holy water. There was a slight rattle.
