Just when you thought prices were getting back to reality. Ropey Addams on the bay, still got 3 hours to go and is over 3k. "Works perfectly" but has a clear picture of a credit dot. No pics of kick outs. I wonder why;)
 
The bidding might have got to £3650 but let's just wait and see if it gets a nice relisting eh? ;-)

Possibly shilled up to the max or maybe someone has got stung and just paid over the odds.

Be interesting to see if this goes the distance. Don't see these bad boys very often.:cool:

****. ****. ****. I'd snap that up if I had the room! Would love a SKATEBALL. And what's a little wet patch between friends :p

Slightly surprised that this only just cleared the £300 mark, but nice to see a playable pin go for a reasonable price.
 
that vector was a bit rough,so the price was about right I think,it was missing some plastics and had a damaged flipper to start with
 
Well there's another pin just sky rocketed in value. Data East's Star Trek 25th Anniversary ended on £1399. Blimey!
 
I still think prices have generally dropped in the last 6 months especially at the top and the bottom of the market.


Tables like the Star Trek and JP are the exception to the rule, it only takes 2 people who really want something to bid things up to insane levels. If you look at ebay there are more machines than ever who aren't attracting any bids. Always worth contacting the seller 1 day before the end of the listing and see if they will take a reasonable offer.

More to do with January and February there were hardly any pins on eBay, now the site is flooded with them. It seems to come an go. I haven't noticed a drop in prices for any games, everything appears to be going up at a steady pace.

Projects have been affected the worst, followed by sub standard players games. I blame this forum (and others). Every time something low priced comes a long, it gets posted here and everywhere, so then everybody goes running to it trying to grab a bargain. All that does is create more competition from other bidders and pushes the prices up.
 
I've noticed a few drops, RFM seems to be going South, AC/DC deffo going South, Spiderman is coming down in price and I think STTNG is also having a price re-correction and that is also of its highs, probably more machines are doing the same but these are the ones I have either traded or am aware of straight off the bat.
 
At the risk of being called a prude, if you have gone to the trouble of installing a new CPR playfield, plastics set, replating in bright zinc ......

you might mention to folk that the backglass has more bubbles in it than an aero .....

A candidate for most overpriced game on eBay in percentage terms ?
 
Anyone else get alarm bells from this TZ Auction?

"Payment by Bank Transfer" basically just reads as "I am going to steal your money" to me these days. The "Free shipping worldwide" is a bit sus too, given the size and weight of a pin. Anything to make the auction seem better value to victims I guess...
 
There was a flurry of bad cats late last year too, when three were up for sale. CPR did a recent plastics run too, so has been a great time to get one of these machines.

Yeah, this is definitely dodgy, zero feedback too :eek:. Maybe our MM fraudster has upped his game.

I emailed the seller of the TZ over the weekend to see if I could view, he said no it's delivery only but don't worry it's mint as in the pictures!
 
I wouldn't even consider buying a machine if the seller was not willing to let you view and if selling I would want the buyer to view
