Own up who's watching 😁
 
the bow and arrow from the liverpool auction now on ebay £900 start. someone flipping it.
From his other ebay items it looks like he is a dealer specialising in vintage toys. The auction had a lot of vintage toys and I think I recognise a few in his listings from the day. At 900 he is not making much on the bow and arrow. Maybe 200 to 250 by the time all fees are paid. I bid on the bow and arrow up to about 400 as it looked cheap at that but a lot of the cabinet had bèn repainted and playfield was faded and artwork was looking a bit thin in places so didn't want to pay more than that for an untested project that would consume my time. He is using the original auction pics so not much effort needed.
 
Was this Harlem Globetrotters posted in this thread?

It seems to have gone for a decent price?

I think it was bids and buy it now £2,200 which it's ended at. I think the seller will be happy as they reached their top end. 👍
 
Don't appear to be in "Good clean condition" in my opinion, based on the photos.

Seller has forgot to include in the description, dirt and marks on pages, creases and marks to front covers along with rusty staples.
Even if it had never been used and was gold guild on it , it still would not be worth a hundred quid in my eyes .
 
Did anyone on here get the funhouse off Facebook marketplace. £3500 was a good price given it had a repro pf installed. I was tempted myself but the seller was a bit funny about sending Martin to collect

With the amount of scammers on Facebook choosing pinball as an easy option, if a seller doesn’t know Martin, I’m out! £3500 with new pf would be great but if you assume it was a scam, then in your head, you didn’t miss out on a bargain.

Now if someone comes on here and says they got it and it’s lovely, thats a different story 🙃
 
Looks to be a bit of rust on the coin box and some water damage to the backbox. Also missing pictures of the pf. Definitely one to see in person first

If it had been in one of works' Addams, it'd have my writing on the schematics pages, to show what was on them without folding them out (for boards with multiple pages). Though there were separate manuals for schematics by that time.

Coming to a pin room near you soon???

It's Claire's birthday tomorrow and creech (she calls it drive thru 🤣) is one she's always wanted! Shame I don't have any money!
We're going to try view it as it's down the road 😁

Working on it😏😄
The cab is pretty decent going by pictures.
By water damage do you mean that wear on the rear of the backbox?

I'm not sure what's a decent price for a creech in that condition. To me 4k seems about right these days
 
Just been browsing ebay and noticed the following newly listed tonight,

Ground Shaker

Hook

1979 Dracula

Secret Service
 
How long has the Birmingham Creech been up on FB?
Seems a decent price so odd it's not sold?
 
No decent close up shots of the PF or hologram. Coin door looks rusty and potentially some water damage to the cab. Definitely one to see in person first

I would have said this is a scam. Has the typical contact me via WhatsApp that a lot of the eBay scams have. Seller is selling high end expensive items as well and with no Facebook profile photo. Definitely looks suspect imo.

I bet they want a deposit to hold it as well 🤔
