I've bought the bowling queen, am collecting it wednesday, he's put the price up to stop others buying it while protecting the 80% off listing fees in case I don't show up... Which obviously I am showing up 😂

Everyone's speculation on here makes me laugh, just chill it's only pinball

Well done, take a look at his other machines when you go. He had a few nice ones when I went to his place a few years or so back. Shout if you need help on the cab artwork as I've got one in stock to copy if need be.

Aiq premium for $4700 that's around £3800! Might move to America if prices are like that...

Seen them listing for a few years, its hard to see that being an economical restore, but if anyone is feeling brave enough I have a set of decals (not the best quality) the buyer could have for nothing.
 
Thought I'd be cheeky and I just had a message exchanged with the seller of the "bestlowpriceworld" machines listed on ebay.

  • Apparently, they are "specialist" pinball dealers - with the name Torreto Motorsport.
  • They will not negotiate on price as they are "good" machines (with free rust)
  • Whirlwind is water-damaged - and does not include anything not shown in the pictures. So no speaker panel. Decals lifting and a delaminating side panel.
  • Machines shown not working in the pictures "have not been tested in any way". I clarified they have not been switched on which is probably a good and bad thing.
  • 1812 does not include translite/backglass, missing bottom speaker.

The 1812 looks terrible. The SFII is so rusty I think it will turn to dust once moved. I would say each machine is going to need upwards of £600 in parts,, from replacing the PF through to new ramps and plastics, and then labour if you cost that out.

Good luck to anyone taking a punt on any of that.
 
Shame they won't take offers, around £1800 just to get it to the UK, then £600 and a tonne of work, for a game which even as a minter might struggle to fetch £3k

Out of interest, what would a reasonable condition fully working 1812 go for do people think? This is listed at £1299 + £200 = £1499, wouldn't that be about right for a fully working version these days?
 
Some people really like 1812 I think, nice worker might be a bit more than 1.5k, not by enough to make the ebay one viable tho, think VAT would be charged on top too.
