OK, this dude is posting a MAME cab in our area and I wrote him the following:
> If you sell this thing for that much please email me. Mine's a similar machine with trackball/spinner, etc and in just as good shape; I would not value it higher than maybe $500 – so if you get that money let me know, I'll make my kids' Christmas a good one!
Not meaning to be insulting. If he pulls $2500 for some multi I want to know! I was half-serious. And, I never gave him a link to my machine on Photobucket or any particulars. But then I got this:
Where did you get yours from the dollar general??? Look mine up it sells new for 4,000 dollars!! You must be talking about a battery operated machine hahah!! Why did you even look at it if u have one ???

(I looked because my RSS feed posted this to my home page, but that's above his comprehension level. I had a moment of idle curiosity) So, I never replied, but still got this a bit later:
>
Mine also has 500 games on it with a real computer sorry mine is alot better than yours no need to get on here and say stuff!!
____-
This guy's insecure, apparently - So, mine's not a lot better, I built a MAME cab from scratch and put an Athlon 64FX in it and I run a, iPac/OptiPac combo, two sticks, one TB, one spinner, MAME, Vpinball, Future Pinball, console and computer AMU's and a couple frontends... I don't have sideart, but it's a nice machine and doubles as a media center for Zune, TiVo, Netflix, etc...So instead of taking offense, I replied with:
___
Just sayin' - lemme know when you sell it for that.
Here's that email:

So, if you want to flag it as selling copyrighted bootlegs, please feel free. I'd like that.
