Possibly worth a visit if you stay close by and put in an offer direct and avoid ebay.Only issue will be if major / hard to find parts are missing, otherwise very tempting

Pinside pricing . Take with a pinch of salt on this game as very common in the US but rarely seen here .
Someone was clearly tempted - gone 
Glad it's gone - it has removed my temptation

Scam, seen the “3 discoloured screws “ description many times now, the description wording style doesn’t match her other adverts either ie they’re all copied and pasted from other peoples adsTAF for £4500. Seller joined FB this year and has 1 friend.

There are at least a dozen scam FB listings at the moment - can’t bring myself to pursue anything on there when it’s like that
frustrating for us genuine sellers as it makes buyers nervous of everyone. I tend to advertise locally so at least buyers can come and play the machine and I can deliver locally to them too
I didn’t think the house looked very UK either but it had a Pinball Paradise apron card. There’s just no way you wouldn’t do your research or knowingly under sell by £2-3k.
Can we use our collective to hit these scammy fb effin jeffs with multiple reports. This hopefully
will get these bogus listings down quicker. Sooner they are taken down the more work it causes for the
scammers to generate new ones and hopefully make it seem like pinballs are more hassle than its worth.
Reporting to fb takes about 30 second to do.

Been doing this every day with the 4 profiles they set up each time, they disappear from my searches, don’t know if they stay live for others….
Really what I'm getting at is if everyone that come upon these scams report them to FB.
Even if it's been flagged up on the forum.
To those who are already doing it. good stuff keep it up.
To others who see the listing fishy but just divert away. Report it before you go.
My hope is that as an ad gets multiple reports it will be higher priority to fb admins.

Main issue is the jokers who message you on ebay saying, for example, why is your demoman 3k when l can buy a getaway for 1600?
My stock answers
1. Cos the demoman actually exists and
2. Buy the getaway then!

I always report advert and seller separately
Not so long ago (before joining PBinfo) Brian I thought your listings were fishy. One guy churning out 1-2 pins a week on fb.
Glad I didn't report you.
yes but at least the photos are always in the same rooms and I encourage buyers to come and play first lucky escape but those scammers do make you question every advert
Saw this pop up not long ago on facebook marketplace. Not sure if it's real or not but looks like it could be an interesting listing:
Monopoly - £1,350

The South Park ad actually has the photos from the current one for sale on here. If you gonna scam at least put some effort in
Most Scammers lets face it don't have an IQ level above 80. If they were smart they wouldn't be trying to rip people off.The South Park ad actually has the photos from the current one for sale on here. If you gonna scam at least put some effort in
I could always put a watermark on any image posted if that helps, though i'm sure they can just snipping tool it... just makes it harder....The South Park ad actually has the photos from the current one for sale on here. If you gonna scam at least put some effort in
