I wonder if anyone will buy it. I've seen a countertop version of these
things on eBay before. I gotta agree with you on the way he words that
auction being shady. I had to chuckle where he says the "unit is set to free
play..no coins needed." or how about saying it has a"brand new circuit
board."

90% of the unsuspecting buyers out there wouldn't know what that thing is by
the screenshot... you know that..

I really liked the paper control panel overlay best.

Here's another rip-off job on eBay:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=8216705700

Seller with 0 feedback is selling 6 copies of Killer Instinct for the
"PC." I e-mailed him saying I didn't know there was KI for the PC, but I
do know that it is emulated via UltraHLE and MAME. He said "well, now
you do know it came out for PC."

My reply: "Cool. Then you can supply me with a picture of the CD,
case/box, and manual?"

Waiting on a response to that one.
