That control panel is like something out of a fever nightmare...

You got that right.
I hate to piss on the OP's Corn Flakes but that is maybe a $20 cp.
Wrong and thrashed cpo,wrong joystick,no buttons and hacked harness.
The only thing worth anything is the wood and button switches.
The joystick might be useful on another game depending on the shape.
Those are not worth much.

I was referring more to the graphics, but the condition is pretty vintage too. Is that a common knockoff cpo? It's probably just my newbie-ness showing, but that's the first time I've seen those graphics. They're the stuff nightmare are made of.

Though, you could put that thing in a thrashed cab and call it a custom Zombie Kong build. Sort of a rat-rod thing. Cash in on the whole Walking Dead, zombie craze thing...

$20 would cover the shipping. As far as the overlay goes it's pretty obvious that I wasn't selling it for cosmetics. The joystick is a perfectly fine wico joystick, not original for DK but definitely not the worst joystick to have for many games. The wood is great. I don't have time to break this cp down so I priced it as is and included shipping. Most know on here I accept pm offers most times. Many times I send extra items. Thanks for the help. I didn't know how to price this. I don't need to sell it. I have a few cp's and was looking to move them to people who need them. I started high on price to include shipping and price drop from there. No hard feelings for pissing on my thread. I'll remove the item so everyone can waste their time writing on another post.
 
I think its a pretty cool overlay on it... definitely different.[/


Your not alone with those thoughts. I'm giving the cp to a member who reached out to me after this thread took a turn. He is wanting to display it in his game room. I'm Glad someone will be able to use it.
 
My bad

I want to appologize to the OP for my being such a jerk in his thread. My first comment was dumb and based on my genuine ignorance of the hobby, then I tried to double down with snarky humor to bail myself out. Honestly wasn't meant as price policing. I try to not fall into the trap of the Greater Internet Fuckwad Theory, but this was a good example of me failing.

So with full acknowledgement that a post like this is totally self serving of my own ego as a "good guy", and for whatever it's worth, I'm sorry.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled hobby.

Thanks for this my friend. No worries. I appreciate the apology. I understand your comments in this thread and I don't believe you had malicious intentions. I hope this didn't scare you off the forum. We welcome new members and you seem like a very nice guy. Hit me up if you need anything.

I was just being honest about the price.
Even with the joystick it's not worth the high price.
I sold a fully restored DK cp for about that price.
I would have listed it for around $30 plus shipping. With a make offer included.

30 plus shipping would have been $50 total. That includes packing and a large flat rate game box usps with tracking. That only put my starting price off by $20. I don't understand all the price policing. This is what is scaring/annoying people away from KLOV and over to the Facebook groups. Petty stuff like a difference of $20 in what you feel is the wrong value for a product someone else is selling. It wasn't even like you were making an offer or anything, this was pure price policing. It's fine though, I can do without the drama, this is a hobby to me. I've sold hundreds of items to members here so I can have a few more bucks to buy some stuff from members here. In doing that, this is the first time someone price policed me so I guess I've been doing okay. Thanks for your honesty.

When a restored one goes for the same as a crappy incomplete one there is a big problem.
If letting a seller know they are way off in asking price offends them then fuck them. Go to Ebay and list it there.
If your not sure what something is worth do a little research or put a make offer on the post.
People are just too lazy to do just a tiny bit of work to sell something. I don't have the time is complete bullshit. It would take what 5 minutes to strip that cp.
Ha drama. You were just butt hurt you couldn't gouge someone on a POS cp.

I think you need a vacation or a beer brother. If you sold your restored cp for $70 shipped that's your issue but you don't know the market. I would never use you as a source. I sell here all the time. If I'm price gouging then why does my items sell in less than a day on average.
 
the DK at work had some goofy adhesive overlay stuck directly onto the wood with no plexi so you punch into the empty holes. I wound up stripping that off, which took like 3 minutes with a hair dryer and my fists. I then got a complete plexi replacement from Mikes Arcade for whatever that costs.

why did Willis art ever exist in the first place? it's horrible.
