£1500 Theatre of Magic on Ebay Poll
- Thread starter Vimtoman
- Start date
It's a fake, April Fools, genuine sale that I really don't care about. I think that should cover me. At least the picture was taken in the UK instead of the usual US plugged scam-fuggery, so partial marks there anyway!
Didn't see it, but probably about as genuine as the £3,500 MM on Gumtree last week
is it in mint condition? if it is i"ll bid £1500.01.
i actually felt it was genuine, but voted don't care... because it's a Theatre of Magic.

This highlights perfectly the rate of Pinflation .......... in 2009 I sold my minty TOM for £1400 - took over a week to find a buyer. No April Fool. 
The selling a/c is a bit dodge no feedback activity in over a year then selling outside of the £1 final value fees 
I was tempted but if it’s to good to be true............
I think it was genuine. Don't know why, but I just do. The vibe I got was that its been sat in a pub and the seller doesn't know how much it is worth. It clearly looks completely OEM.
I know it was said in the eBay thread that one of the photos made it look like it had LEDs, but I'm not convinced. You can see the shadow cast by the unusual light fixture on the glass, for one.
I think a crafty fellow on here snagged it. That ought to be the real poll...

Bidding was stopped at £1k which was the first bid, I was in contact sussing out and offered the £1500 but pay cash on collection.
Bit odd if they took the first bid for £500 less.

Not if a reserve between first bid and buy it now
I didn’t see no reserve met on the £1k part of it, and it used to be a way of getting rid of the buy it now.
It was different in 2001 though, ahhh the good Ebay days.

did anyone actually find out who this fella is - im sure ive seen another machine with the same mock tudor wall behind it ?
Sale was genuine as I know the person who bought it. Simple motto.... you snooze you lose. Unfortunately, it wasn't me. 
If anyone is aching for a TOM, I will most likely be selling two toms later on the year although not like that price
One is a complete, very nice TOM and one is my project mint-restore with all new cabinet, brand new playfield, brand new ramps, parts etc - just depends on where I get with space in my pinball build and also how my recovery goes (to stroke) to enable me to finish it or not.
Note, please do not contact me about them for 1st dibs etc as they aren’t for sale as yet.
