Expired RARE 1974 GOTTLIEB CAPTAIN CARD PINBALL MACHINE - NEEDS RESTORATION

[Pinball Seller]

Hi all,

Just thought I'd post a link to an auction I'm running for a Capt. Card machine. It's apparently quite rare, perhaps one of only a few in the UK.

Auction: RARE 1974 GOTTLIEB CAPTAIN CARD PINBALL MACHINE | eBay

Open to offers

Regards

What does 'open to offers' mean?
Please state 'offers over xxx' or you'll end up with crap like this

I offer you 35pence and a curly wurly

You've listed it on an auction, so..... you know.... maybe not p1ss off the people that are bidding on it by trying get people on forums to make you a random offer on it

Didn't mean to offend.

The idea was to attract more potential bidders, or an out-of-auction offer.

Haven't had breakfast yet so that curly wurly is appealing right now. Hoping for a final sale price of anything over £400. Online auctions fray my nerves as they seem to depend on who's online when the auction draws to a close.

Rare, yes, only 675 made back in 1974. Probably less than 40 left on planet earth. Great game but condition is everything - no surprise there!

Really hoping someone takes the time to restore it back to former glory. Spoke to a couple of restorers/collectors who say it's doible, and good that the back glass and electrics are in good condition. Apparently, you can't acquire the back glass anymore.
