the pre teen me,loved Vector as it was one of the pins in my local arcade back in the early 80's,I remember when I first locked a ball,not knowing the rules I went and saw the guy in the change booth and said the ball was stuck,he obviously didn't know the rules either,as he turned it off and gave me some free credits on space invaders instead
 
same happened to me as a 12 year old on firepower. i locked a ball and reported it is as stuck but change guy in my case was more helpful. 2 locks later I was in multiball heaven and my life had changed forever !!

..... or should that be lane changed forever?!

Unfortunately they don't have a Congo so I won't be bidding :cool:

Is it a scam? Strange way to sell that many machines but was thinking about how much that load would cost... a good 30-40 top machines in there like multiple TAF, TOM, TZ etc so must be worth well over 1/4 million squid bulk trade and over half a million re-sale?
 
Whilst still thinking about how I can ship 170 machines from southern Italy ("Fancy a romantic weekend in Italy darling? Yes we're going in a 26 tonne artic, is that a problem?"), I also spotted a Hurricane with "mint spare playfield":

However the possibly more interesting part is in the description where he states "Obviously there are machines in the background & some not in shot, so before the floods of questions Medusa, Demo Man, Jurassic Park, Star Trek 25th & Banzai Run are on the going list too,, always up for a deal" - in Kirkcaldy (@Buddinblack ?).

Might be, however joined here and then ignored the T&C's, and then just posted a machine for sale in General... so banned.....

If they would like to advertise then thats fine, however they need to follow the same rules as others, rather than just ignore them...

.. a Heavy Metal Meltdown for 3,000 euros, and another 350 for shipping. I haven't converted that to sterling, but it doesn't seem a bargain to me. I've only played HMM once, and was advised not to put 50 pence in for multiple credits (it was a long time ago) as I'd be there ages.

Failed to reach reserve before - think bidding only reached about 1200
I think we’re seeing a bit of a price correction on some lesser sought after titles . A lot listed on eBay, a lot not selling . Always a slow time of year ,but with added financial pressures this year.

Most of it is overpriced tat. Hurricane makes Popeye look like "A list" awesomes. (It kinda is) :)

Over priced maybe, but pinballs aren't around in the volume that there is a demand for. Tat, probably, but as Steve Brum says, if it's got flippers ;)

Would it be tat if priced a little more sensibly?

Wish there were more awesome pins around.
