http://item.mobileweb.ebay.co.uk/viewitem?index=0&sbk=1&nav=SEARCH&itemId=141015386499

Looks like the dmd and speaker surround are also Bacardi along with the rear of the playfield having 2 breezer bottles.

Anyone here win the Roadshow http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/bally-pinball-machine-/221252678348
Twas shill bidded a *lot* by user i***l (343). I'd be taking that into consideration before handing over the cash

 

[johnwhitfield]

That roadshow has the potential to be a very bad investment for someone if it hasn't worked for years. Hopefully it might just be a blown fuse but "non working" covers all sorts of sins.... Maybe I'm being blinded by my hatred of RS and in fact it's a steal...

So the knackered DE Star Wars table is back on eBay again for stupid money.

Evidently he's either not getting the message or he's just hoping someone who doesn't know what it's worth will pick it up. Can't say i'd spend > £2k on something without at least researching it a bit first. :|

 

[Carl Spiby]

Send him a friendly message.

It may well be the fish tales fish, however not in than monstrosity it aint!!!!

That's a joke. It's not even the proper fish - it looks like one of those "Billy Bass" talking fish that were all the rage in the mid-90s. Whatever it is, it looks ****.

Those stories always make me laugh. Who even *wants* a partner who aggressively dislikes or blackmails you against a passion or hobby of yours?

My Ex used to *hate* football. Best thing I ever did was get shut (of her).

 

[Calimori]

My ex use to hate, well just about everything, life included. My wife likes pinball and me, which makes life a lot easier.
She does however want me to dig up the patio and make it flatter.

 

[johnwhitfield]

bah patios

Empty TZ cab anyone???

 

[Wizcat]

Shush. I just messaged him about that. Tempted but I'm going away on jolies...

 

[Onze]

Tempted for what? Your TZ cab is in great condition.

 

[Wizcat]

But I'll need a 'project' that sits in the back of the shed for 6 months. Especially if Flash Gordon is going!

Nooooooooooo! What's happened to Matt's collection? I can see wall space! No good can come of this "downsizing" idea

 

[Wiredworm]

Part of that space was taken up by the R&B that's now sitting in my back room.

Was a pleasure dealing with Matt and I've been over the moon with my purchase. I only hope the Corvette goes to someone who wants to look after it.

There's currently a nice looking RBION on eBay for £2300, is that a good price for RBION?

 

[Wizcat]

From Devon020305? Ask JMP about the wonderful experience he had with that seller. Or check out the thread detailing all the hidden issues with the TOM

It's a price

The usual laws of the market apply ......If it was a 'good' price it would have gone by now.

The only way I would entertain purchasing a machine from that seller would be to go see it beforehand and pick it up there and then.

 

[kevlar]

Thanks guys, I remember the horror stories. I hadn't realised it was the same guy. I'll skip that then.

So "full working order and just been serviced" but no one seems to have noticed the DMD isn't displaying anything.

 

[replicas]

He might have taken the picture just as the DMD was changing to another dot image.
Or not ?

 

[Carl Spiby]

He's pretty good at it seeing as its unlit in every picture

 

[replicas]

That must be pretty hard to do.
Good on the guy for managing to do such a good job in not catching any of those dot images.

The TOM on ebay, same seller has a playboy etc, seller probably reads this forum I think, but what the hell.

He has NOT owned that TOM for years, and it has NOT been re dacalled.

How do I know this?

I pulled that exact TOM out of someone's shed a few months ago, he'd owned it for well over a decade and his misses wanted it gone. For what I paid (cheap) it was a steal, the pf was decent enough, but was filthy and hadn't been serviced in a long time. He has cleaned it up and replaced trunk fair enough, but the metal bits on pf is still tarnished and need removing and cleaning / tumbling , and while the cab was reasonable the art is original to when it was produced back in the nineties, it is not new.
For those that remember him, Keith best was servicing this up until he retired a cuple years back. (Oh, and boards were pretty clean)

Just thought I'd throw this out there.

Getting quite murky buying pinballs on ebay lately isn't it

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/221256184596 - TOM mentioned above....

99p to £1,131 in three hours... will be interesting to see what it ends up at, if it makes the distance that is....

 

[Wiredworm]

That's the same seller that JumboSinbad360 bought an X-Files off a week or two back?

Not saying that he's a good seller but the feedback from Jumbo seemed fair enough and he does have good feedback on eBay. Maybe a case of trying to avoid it looking like he's flipping to turn a quick profit? Or simply that people are more trusting if they think it's from his 'personal collection'?
