Interested in some opinions
I had been after a specific used garden shredder and watched ebay prices vary between 100 and 400 for 9 months. Seemingly randomly. I scored at 100.
Pinball prices have also seemed similarly random
I know ebay is a sewer, especially when 99p listings are available but might I ask for views on what on earth is going on. Simple answer is shilling, but there must be more to it......
Is there a whole new category of lockdown buyers bidding up weaker WPC titles?
Are top end WPC titles being dumped by guys replacing with TV backbox games?
These are from an ebay search today of UK based completed listings that resulted in a sale....
TZ. 5.1k. Seems sensible. Has been priced around 5k for over a year...

Monster Bash. 4.4k. Seems sensible. Game dropped from highs of 2 yrs ago thanks to MBR ...

Cirqus Voltaire. 4.3k. Seems sensible. Maybe a bit down from a couple of years ago when folk were chasing 5k for these.

Judge Dredd. 3.2k. WTF ?. Never a fancied title. Hovered around 2k for ages.

Spectrum. 2k. Never a fancied SS Bally, yet one of the highest prices one from this era has made

Demo Man 2k. Never a fancied title. Normally similar money to a Judge Dredd (the 3.2k one ?)

High Speed. 1.7k. Good system 11 games have been 1.5k for a couple of years so this price did not surprise me

Vector. 1.4k. Unfashionable Bally SS. These came for about 700 three years ago
