The design was apparently inspired by a boat!

That's a bit like saying the design of my car was inspired by a kettle.

 

[Jodo]

Because wooden boat hulls and arcade machines were always meant to be together.

Or not.

 

[gridrunner]

One word came to mind. Hideous.

 

[guddler]

[cliff_poole]

Designed in the aesthetic fashion of a commode more like.

"I guarantee that there will NEVER be anything else quite like this"

[donutty]

OK, don't all bid for it at once!

 

[virtvic]

I can't believe it didn't sell for $4000...

 

[gridrunner]

You could also keep Budgies in it.

 

[dannyboy]

Or use it for firewood.....

Nice, 'Not like anything you will see in an arcade' Thank god for that or i would be changing this hobby for knitting

The great shame is that the woodwork looks to be really well done, but the design is just god-awful.

 

[saleem]

No bids i wander why?

The great shame is that the woodwork looks to be really well done, but the design is just god-awful.

One thing just amuses me though, the seller says

hand built by myself using professional woodworking techniques

and then goes on to say

Each screw that was used in the construction was carefully concealed by boring out the hole and filling with a wooden plug

The two statements do not work together, professional woodworking techniques do not require screws

Agree it looks like there is some skill therein but he would have been better off building the boat

A trend in cabinet design is clearly emerging. Look at this beauty:
