Isn't that pretty much an over-priced glorified Jakk's in a laminated pressboard box & a cheap 17" LCD?
But what a deal for only $400...
It just keeps getting worse.

Pessimist: Oh, this can't get any worse!
Optimist: Yes, it can!

Looks kinda cool. Wonder what the build quality is like and what sort of board/chipset they are using to do the emulation.
For those not liking it think about this. Yes a real arcade cab can be had for cheap but they are also tanks. They were designed to take the abuse of a thousand teenagers. They also do not flat pack onto shelves. To build something of similar quality they are selling is going to be around the same price they are asking. I would qualify this as mostly harmless and a fun novelty. 300-400 is a bit more than I would pay right now for something like that. They will be on clearance soon enough. Which means they may be a cheap way to get an LCD and some controls. But I am looking to get rid of things not get more

I imagine the buyer would be getting a plasterboard cab and the cheapest electronics on the planet.
