[ukvac] OT: opinions on mame cab for sale
Hi all
Sorry for the off topic subject, but I just wondered what the various opinions on MAME cabinets or more specifically:
"Selling a mame cab" were.
IMO, mame cabs/conversions can be cool (when it's a yellow skip alternative) but selling them (for big bucks)... I think it's a scum, err, sorry - scam, surely this goes against everything in the rules...

I am not saying I have every board for every mame file on my pc, but bollox to selling this shit for serious profit - check out the link to a monkey selling one here for: wait, £2000!

On his MAME web site he then publishes all the disclaimers etc...
Maybe it's just me? If so, apologies in advance to all offended parties. ;-) Not.

Agree totally, and was trying to convince someone i know who had six BAS
cabs (and wanted to do just that) of the same.

The problem is there ARE muppets out there who have the cash knocking
around, who WILL pay that for them. They don't know any better and they
don't do the research to know they are being ripped off....

I have a lovely MINT (and thats no joke i really do mean mint) 19" BAS cab.
As it needs the PC i'll let it go for £1000 - any takers?? :O) - or maybe
not smiley!!

With you 122.5% here boys, but what about this loon selling the
*ugliest* cab I've ever seen with one of Clay's kits in... Now, this
really isn't playing the game...
