Facebook NES Arcade Cabinet Scoop Deal

greedostick · Dec 23, 2017

Found this little gem on Facebook in a game collecting group, for $500.00. Located in Michigan. Claims the project costed $575.00 for just the wood, glue, and decorations.

What you all think? Scoop or no scoop?

Did that person pay someone else to cut all the wood? No way that is anything close to $500 in material. Maybe $100.

Cousin_Itt · Dec 23, 2017

They probably spent more for the posters and stickers than anything else.

Cousin_Itt · Dec 23, 2017

Could I believe they paid over $500 just for wood and stuff? sure. Looks like a mom bought all those prefabbed letters from Hobby Lobby which go for 3-5 bucks a peice. Then you're looking at 120 minimum just on the letters unpainted. But honestly I doubt anyone would pay $100 for that monstrosity let alone $500. I'm surprised this isn't in the WTF thread.

Tell them you're keen to buy it and then go there and belt them.

The real question here is why OP is a member of a fucking Facebook game collecting group.

One of my friends is a moderator. The group is pretty large by facebook standards, and they needed help. So he asked me to join. I'm actually in a few fb game groups, but really only like the pc engine ones.

100$ in wood and stickers + 10$ in glue for proper use + again 390$ in glue for sniffing solve the equation.

lol that's about as "cargo cult retrogamer on Facebook" as it gets

Again, WTF? Why would you build this and use this tiny screen, along with its ugly ass plastic enclosure? This is mindblowingly hideous. If an adult made this, they should be ashamed of themselves. Also, good luck playing Duck Hunt on this thing and its LCD screen.

neo_mao · Dec 23, 2017

Holy shit people will buy anything. You couldn't pay me $500 to put that hunk of crap in my home.

neo_mao · Dec 23, 2017

Having said that, I think you should scoop it Greedo and then sell it on Nintendoagae for $1500. What could possibly go wrong?

No offense but don't you have a student loan to pay off instead of buying a god fucking awful looking arcade cab?

smokehouse · Dec 23, 2017

Is the original owner/maker mildly retarded?

Fully retarded

FAT$TACKS · Dec 23, 2017

To imagine that someone is proud of having done that and can't figure out why it isn't selling.

coreykun667 · Dec 23, 2017

Looks like it came straight out of a meth dungeon. If the screen and lettering weren't bad enough, they have shitload of tiny stickers just placed everywhere on it like a 2 year old got a hold of a few dollar-store sticker sheets and went wild.

It’s quite the spectacle...I’ve come back in this thread 3 times now just to look over the ugly thing. Every time I look at it, I see something different. It really is a modern day masterpiece...

Tung Fu ru · Dec 23, 2017

That is probably the ugliest cab I've ever seen. I picked up a cab from someones driveway (they were throwing it away) that looked way better than that.

There are so many things that someone would say "why would you do that?" while building this pile of shit.....

Who ever built this shit should be ashamed of themselves and burn this thing. I doubt anyone would ever buy this. I wouldn't take it for free.

Is it me, or is the NES Advantage mounted crooked?

Craig · Dec 23, 2017

THAT SHIT LOOKS AMAZING, PM SEND.

Ugly as sin.

The cabinet is real, but the thread is complete sarcasm. I wouldn't take that hideous piece of garbage unless the seller paid me.... A lot. Like many hundreds, and paid for gas both ways. Then I would purify the fucking thing by flame.

It's easily the absolute most hideous cabinet ever. It's deserves to be recognized as such. It needs to go down in history books as "the ugliest cab ever". Whenever someone talks about a shit cab, this should be the level at which all other cabs are judged on to determine the level of hideousness.

That's a pay-someone-to-get-rid-of-it situation right there.
