Star Wars
Data East, 1992Check out the paint job of this guys cabinet.
I have seen this machine up close.
Even if it had the original Data East graphics on it, it's not worth $6999.99
Gotta love his caption "Most beautiful machine ever made"

Quoted from devlman:I bet that guy writes some mean fan fiction
I bet that guy has never seen a vagina in person
Quoted from markmon:I think the art on that looks way better than stock.
Yea I agree! Could have been a little better execution but I like it
Quoted from GravitaR:Here is an example of a different way to kill the value of a game. Turn it into a desk.

That would be a pretty sweet soldering station
Put it n a truck with legs on head up and no straps approach 70 miles an hour and then hit the breaks. That ought to devalue it in a hurry.

I seem to recall a tv show that did a desk like that? Or is that your own creation?
Once I asked the EM crowd about turning a pin into a coffee table and I thought I was going to have to hire security because they were out raged by the thought!
Quoted from peaceboy666:front of cabinet art looks like its been drawn bye a 2 yr old with a texta
I liked it minus the front. I wonder if the guy had his kids do the very front. art wise it looks like it was done by another person. Cabinet art usually sucks so I am happy to see someone give it a go. Maybe, the cabinet was jacked up before they even got ahold of it.
In the description it says "One side is Episode 1. One side is Empire Strikes Back." I was like WTF?, so I took another look at the pictures, and he meant to say "Episode 4", not "Episode 1". If they had custom painted it with Episode 1 art, now THAT would really kill the value. As it is I don't think it looks bad at all, but just not worth the big premium price.
Quoted from beatmaster:i like the art on the sides of the cab but DV on the back and the front of the cab looks bad.
Yeah, the back is not so hot, but who cares? That side will be facing the wall anyway. They probably thought it would look a lot cooler than it does, but oh well.
He's actually come down in price. Nobody biting at $9999 I'm afraid. We'll see what $6999 gets him.
I could fathom a guess... 
Quoted from mrgone:I bet that guy has never seen a vagina in person
Oh, and you have?
Did ya have to club them over the head to take a peek first?
Quoted from pinballsmith:Why is that?
because He is paying storage on a bunch of games that never sell. He just realists in hopes that some one will buy them. This has be going on for over 6 months
I like the concept (The red start button as R2-D2's eye is brilliant), but not the execution. If the art was done by someone with a bit more skill and did not have that clearly airbrushed concept. Its also plain to see that the cab is cracking and peeling in places, why not get a rebuilt cab if you want to do a custom paint job? Throw in a CC'd playfield and then maybe...but even then not 7k

I agree, good design - poorly done.
Quoted from wayout440:Actually, this is probably the owners pinhauler:
