ok, hilarious thread, but I've got a change of pace for you.
I think the fact that this thing exists is awesome. I imagine this is some kid who loves pinball but has no money builds his own and has a ton of fun doing it. Big kudos to him for his ingenuity and imagination.
Trying to sell it online for $200 on the other hand...

Couldn't agree more. Growing up, we had very little money despite my dad working extremely hard. Some of my best memories are the times we spent playing countless hours on our homemade foosball table. The person probably had a blast building this, playing it, and didn't sit online all day bitching about their $8,000 they just spent on a machine they bought sight unseen for the 5th time, and will do it again and again.

This. Exactly. The fact that he was driven enough to build the thing with whatever he had is pretty great.
The trying to sell it is the wacky part.

I never understood why people say this, what does Christmas have to do with anything? Ed
I called the guy and expressed my interest in the game. He said someone else called and told him the game was priced too low. He said I could have it for $400.

This is totally something I would have built as a child if I wasn't busy making tunnel mazes and robot suits out of cardboard boxes.
Is it better than MM?
Will it fit in a Kia Optima?
Price check?
I know this is a good deal, but I need some hand holding. What would you guys do? Should I pull the trigger on this one?
Should this be my next pin?
Is this a scam?
