SM on ebay

[jonathan]

Don't know if this is the same bloke who bought mine last year but be wary as

he's used my pictures and my write up from the original auction. It's also

priced 600quid more than he paid for it if it is the same pin.

So those pics are of it in your house...not his? Why would someone do that It's not hard to take some pics

 

[jonathan]

Yeah, all 3 of them are in my garage. Even the write up is a copy and paste job. It reads like he's put all the mods on when it was bloody me!

Would never pay £3500 for an SM so he won't be getting my dollar, £2900 for a mint HUO sounds better, don't know where the £3500 camp has just emerged from, 2 in so many weeks, neither sold though don't think, just more examples of people asking silly money and not selling, don't get it , start it at a pound and let it do it's thing, there are about 10 used machines on ebay ATM which are ridiculously priced with no bids on them and probably won't get any either, WHY?? doesn't do anything for the hobby just makes people look the other way.

I don't get it either, there have also been a few games that bear no resemblance to their descriptions.

They were around that price NIB when it first came out!

What about this then?? Trouble is that other sellers base their perceived value on listings like these.........taken SS off my wishlist as I am no longer prepared to chase them

Suppose 2k is cheap then

 

[jonathan]

You can pretty much halve Marc's prices to get a true reflection of their price though

 

[Judge Dreads]

So we are still 2k SS then

 

[Replay]

Guess so!



I would pay 2k for it but not much more.

When I bought my TZ from a local dealer guy about 5 years ago - he also had 3 (!!) SS sitting in his garage, along with multiple other games. Could have had my pick of any of the SS for well under a grand



How things have changed ..... <reaches for pipe and slippers>

We need a "bygone days" forum

Its a catch 22 though isn't it. Without getting new people into pins then Stern probably would be bust by now and JJP wouldn't exist. However, as interest in pinball is getting bigger it naturally pushes the prices up for the older pins they have never owned.
