The ebay title is "Galaga counter top arcade game ( not homemade) has coin door".

You tell me that is not homemade:

What part of a non-arcade cabinet with Galaga marquee on the bottom and Centipede bezel glass with a generic CPO and a Williams cocktail coin mech doesn't scream HOMEMADE!.

The other pictures point out the high quality nature of this freak of nature.

I normally don't complain about some of the beasts I see on ebay, but this one was fingernails on a chalkboard.

Part of his description:
Hi this is a Galaga counter top arcade game made by Midway/bally. This game plays great all lights and controls work new lcd and lcd converter also new lights and custom galaga stickers, and paint. This game is made out of a cabaret cabinet so it is built well...

well, its not home made.. It was home modifed.. Looks like they cut a centipede caberet in 1/2... Maybe he will use the other half to make a cocktail...
 
I wonder if this guy is related to the guy in Seabrook a few months ago that was selling half a pacman. That thing is ugly, and about all it's worth is in parts.
 
personally, i would grab it if you could get it for $50 or less. you've got a galaga boardset that works and you could probably sell that lcd monitor for something. but i would not grab that with any other intention than parting it out so that it never has to hurt anyone with its horrible look again.
 
That is definitely not homemade.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. *Massive coughing*

Oh, man, I couldn't hold it longer than that!
 
It's bid up to $1.04.

Note it says that if he has to ship it to you, its $260 for 'economy service'.
 
I like how he just screwed a piece of plywood across the bottom instead of recessing it.

Also, that's not a real cpo of any type. It's that freakin marble contact paper that mamers used to be so fond of.

Looks like total Carny folk material !!!

and check the finger clearance under the joy stick ??? WTF ,,, made for carny folk as well
 
That thing was on CL by me for a long time. He has $260 for shipping. I should ping him I'll take it if I can pick it up as long as it's $40 or less.

The boardset is worth $40

Mark..
 
I'd actually pick it up if I lived near him... I have a soft spot for countertop/desktop games.

The $260 shipping is more than I would spend though. I agree with 03spirit, I would only go about $40 max.
 
Yeah he has had that thing on Craigslist for a while now. Funniest shit of it all is that he started at like $750 or some crazy shit like that. Maybe I should watch it, maybe I can win it for $10!
 
Not worth it unless your west side buddy goes and gets it for you and next time I'm out east I bring it with me. ;)
