New parts Now Available At The Arcade Boneyard

i bought from him.. had no problems at all, nice guy.. I understand the spamming but who really gives a f*ck?? I see more BS on CL then ever so does it really matter? just saying

I would much rather have this guy spam my local CL, then all of the MODDED XBOX spams I get. There are 15 to 20 MODDED XBOX posts on my CL each day.

I hear that!!!!! ++++1111
 
Well a new state of the art website can be arranged man! Hit me up and we can work it out in arcade parts!
 
I don't get all the negative vibes against Rob and his site. So he spams CL. So what, to much trouble for all you gripers to look past one add that's useless to you? Maybe it's helpful to some people. At least it's not a scam. How many scams have you seen on CL? I have ordered from Rob in the past and I just ordered something from him today. I am currently restoring my Frogger. I sanded and primed the wood lower marquee/speaker holder and forgot and left it outside and it rained on it. Swelled up like a sponge. I saw this post and checked the ArcadeBoneyard and Rob had one listed. I emailed him, gave me a total price and I paypaled him and got an email back saying it will ship out Monday so I got an original cabinet part for a very fair price. It saved me from having to make a new one. This is not the first time ordering stuff from Rob and all I can tell you I get what I order, fast and at a good price and I don't have to worry about getting ripped off.The way I see it it's a win win if you need parts and as for the web site, well it works better than most and you get pictures of the item so you see it before you buy it. I just dont see a problem.
 
Its against the Terms of Use to advertise a business on Craigslist, maybe you should read that little box of text that you "mark as read"
With that being said I gave up on Craigslist... DONT GET ME STARTED

Yes, I don't see why everyone is knocking his site. Who cares what it looks like if he has good parts for sale. I mean, Bob Roberts site has its issues also but you all seem to buy stuff from him and not bash his site.

Absolutely, Bob has one of the WORST sites going, but no one complains...why?

Because it doesn't matter.
 
In bob's defense his site was probably up in the 90's but at least there isn't aimless images of bullshit just about everywhere. This site is pretty attrocious for the fact that the entire site is italicized, most if not all of the images are stretched. I think the only thing this site needs is a midi file of Pantera's 'walk' playing in a hidden iframe to seal the deal. No doubt the guy has some good stuff and he may be a good guy/businessman. The site just makes it pretty hard to take it seriously though. Just saying.

Bob's website is extraordinarily functional though. It's set up like a spreadsheet, and I'm a CRTL+F away from finding anything I need. It's not pretty, but it's not in my way. The Arcade Boneyard is split up over several times as many pages, and most of those pages have dozens -- even hundreds -- of full-size images. Look at the Project Machines page... why on earth would you stick 90 different 1600x1200 photos all on one page?
 
do you see Bob Roberts doing dumb shit like this?

Believe me, unless you just wanted to take measurements to try and make a new cab they all should have been burned long ago. There is not one cab he burned that you would want in your house or garage/storage. At least all the non-wood parts were salvaged to try and make another game complete.
 
For what it's worth I am just glad there are sites like TABY and TRBR, otherwise my life would fucking suck!
 
I think it says a lot that the people who know Rob and have dealt with him have nothing but nice things to say. Does Rob over post on Craigslist? Yes, but is it really harmful outside of skipping the listing on your daily CL search? Does his website need some work? Sure, but it's important to note that Rob does this part time and no individual is great at everything.

Just remember that he chose to do this in his spare time, as a hobby, and it directly has helped hundreds of people find parts that they normally wouldn't have found. It's easy to forget that there is a person behind the monitor when it's so easy to rag on a website or criticize remotely.

As someone who has met Rob on many occasions and bought from him multiple times over this past year, I can say that he's a stand-up guy that cares about the hobby. Who else would salvage every single bit of a machine -- down the screw -- and help other restorers out the way that he does? I can understand having a problem with the "kill list" thing, but as HFK said, many of those were cabs you'd normally see curbside waiting for the garbage man.

Anyway, I hope the internet talk doesn't get to him to much. I know he's trying to advertise his service any way he can (agree with the methods or not) and once you've used it, you'll be glad you did.
 
...Anyone else who's greedy enough, needs money enough, and values their time as little as he does...

Straight Bull... you are on this site why??? Hobby maybe? Do you think people might do a service because they enjoy dealing with machines, even if it's on the grave side of the machines life? I just got done tearing 3 machines apart, salvaging what I could and dumpster tossing the rest. Why, cause it was fun and I got to save something. Sad to see machines lost, but they were beyond repair, weathered behind a family fun center...

As far as greed/money... I'm sure you give away your stuff, have no desire to make money, pay top dollar and never haggle like the rest of us cheap bastards.... KLOV is after all, a site known to give top market dollars for stuff sold. Right?
 
Its easy guys. When searching craigslist just do like I do.
