Sorry if it's been covered before but what's the score with those machines from Czech Republic on ebay?

They have some good titles there and seem to accept offers but they don't look in great condition.

Be patient, what you are looking for will eventually turn up here. More than not you will then know the machines history and gauge other people's opinions. It's a huge gamble with anything on eBay that you cannot go and see.

I had a very bad experience with them and would avoid if I was you. The stress and agro I went through over a Jackbot i bought from them was absolutely rediculous

Yeah thanks mate.

I almost purchased a WCS from them but decided otherwise. ..... just seemed like a huge risk.

Yeah, thanks Jake. I can see that now.

To be honest you can tell a lot from the description on Ebay.

Why anyone would write a sentence and expect to sell anything is a mystery.

I did purchase my pin from Ebay but it was very evidently from someone who loved pinball. He had a lot of machines, a lot of pictures and a description that read like War and Peace.
 
Always worth asking on here too before buying off ebay, there's a good chance someone will know the seller or have dealt with them before.

Your probably right but there’s not a lot left of this one is there ?

They made around 7k units but they are still not often seen (been a few of them on here lately though).

If you got one around 2k, you'd be spending money on the VERY expensive ramps (often broken) and impossible to source boulders (always broken) pretty fast!

Despite all the cash mine has sucked out of me, it's well worth it - amazing game

Not a terrible trade by any means but I think gameplay of wh20 beats creature every time, and i really love me some creature.

@huggers It's now with me, seller was great to deal with, and had it delivered by @Mike-R- again great to deal with.

Just need to set it up, but struggling for space, was two pins over my space, now three!

It was me you were bidding against Chris and I did plan on increasing my max bid but got wrapped up in work on the day and forgot. The auction ended at a strange time around 3pm which didn’t help when you are busy

@taz turbo Ah apologies. The way I view the forum doesn’t show me sigs. Silly iPhone and TapaTalk freemium app [emoji12]

@Lroy The same on my phone, but if it rotate it to landscape it all appears, some kind of magic I reckon!

But if that doesn't work, I have.... TAF, TSPP, FT, BSD, RFM, A13, SWE1, RS, Rotation VIII, Baywatch. (non pin, Sega Ferrari F355 Challenge Twin, Sega Rally 2 Twin x 2!, Taito tabletop Space Invaders)

@Jmac Yes I noticed that, but I was on a beach in the Indian Ocean, admiring the view, drinking beer and treating myself to the machine :)



The seller was really very helpful and genuine, he also has TSPP which will likely be coming up for sale soon.

Chris.
