Sure who doesn't love sitting down in front of an arcade machine for some Netflix?

Skewed viewing angle, arcade sticks in the way, fantastic stuff.

You're correct, its my main source for binging hours of netflix and my main reason i cannot stand straight and see a physio weekly

That aside, im really tempted to call this guy out

That one keeps on giving really.

That marquee is outstanding, so it the wall light switch on top of the cab

And am I wrong or is that not paint? Looks like the cab has a very cool "black duct tape" wrap?

Hah! After reading that, I asked him "Any pictures of them turned on and working?" on one of the TV ads. It'll be interesting to see his response :pac:

I asked him for proof that the €200 CRT worked; https://www.adverts.ie/arcade-retro/crt-tv/20664312

His response was of a €270 CRT that worked. https://www.adverts.ie/tv/crt-tv/20683448

I'd say that that is the only one that works!

Hmm. Looks like someone took a strip of wallpaper off their grannies living room wall for the marquee, and then poured black creosote over the cabinet.

It is haha, he bought one of them cheap-o pandoras box arcade sticks that plugs into the TV and smashed together a "bespoke" cabinet, comprised of vinyl tape, stained glass from an old church, spray painted mdf and slapped some wheels on it "for mobility"

bmorrissey · 23-06-2020 06:22PM

Asked for some pics of the sides and back, it's made of plywood with some ****ty tape wrap it looks like. If he removed a zero off that price it would be fair....kinda

The Sony telly looks lovely, at least without the stand which is pure firewood.
But he'll be sitting on that one for a long time, or have to withdraw it, no one is going to be spending that much for that much

Years ago a post selling a system with roms wouldn’t last a minute on the old boards selling forum, when it changed to adverts.ie seems it’s OK now, I remember listing a modded Xbox and I wasn’t even including any games/roms and was instantly banned for 2 weeks.

I still always report anything including roms just to piss the sellers off

There was one guy last week selling PS4 with your choice of 50 pirate games and he’s listed the full library to choose from, in fairness when I reported that it was removed and he relished a couple minutes later and I reported again, this went on for about 20 times, I’m not sure if he got banned or gave up

Better move fast lads.shes going to the skip.

o1s1n · 23-06-2020 11:13PM

I'm starting to think his ads are actually in a different currency, it's the only way any of it makes sense

o1s1n · 23-06-2020 11:16PM

Apparently there's lots going in the skip! :pac:

My hole is this going into the skip, it'll still be up by next week. Surely he would take a tener rather than throwing it out.... Cowboy

Someone tell him there’s probably one under that skip that’s taking up room in his garden, he should throw it up into that huge attic of his

BGOllie · 24-06-2020 06:55PM

what a nutjob : https://www.adverts.ie/tv/vintage-tv/20777465
he could've gotten some realistic money for them but instead he decided to pay for a skip and chuck them.

I don't seem to recognise any of the stuff in the skip... The sofa isn't in the skip, it's still up for sale so, I'm so relieved

Also was the skip not coming Saturday I thought?

That's the modern retro gaming scene for you. Someone will buy that as an investment and try sell it for €300 in 5 years

Let's face it, the lot are back in the attic, including the skips, both of them.
Possibly an explanation of supply/demand could come in helpful

I'd love to know how an Atari console ends up underground in someone's garden

When I initially saw it I thought it might be part of the famous Atari landfill that was dug up recently.

Just stick it in a frame and charge 500 quid instead.
