Thanks, really lucked out in getting it. It's such a simple and fun game. It popped up for sale just down the road from me and I was lucky to be first responder.
And two themes! The original Bootles, and the unlicenced Beatles. 2 in 1!
Ahh, sounds like the old, "My cat walked over the keyboard and placed the bid" gag. I've experienced that line myself years ago from a numpty bidder.
Not until someone actually bids
These things can only go up in value you know.... (eBay seller logic)
That is a statement I can definitely agree with, it's very hard to buy a machine at 6 times it's actual value 
"I've never known anyone lose money on a pin!"
I messaged him with a bunch of questions and requests for extra photos/videos of bits he hadn’t shown in the listing. About half an hour after that he pulled the listing, so either got an offer he thought was acceptable or decided not to sell I guess. 4K vpins are kinda hard to get at a decent price atm cos of graphics cards prices, can sometimes make more just taking the gpu out and selling that than selling the whole vpin! Only card I can get at a reasonable price right now is a gtx 1650 and it doesn’t seem to be recommended for stable 4K and certainly wouldn’t future proof at all
Hi, i bought the last one off him on auction ,I wouldnt deal with him again im afraid ,not a bad guy on face value but the pin wasnt playing sound correctly on pick up and i dont know anything about v pins and he was not helpfull in any way to get it sorted despite him saying he knew what he was doing with them and he sort of rushed me out of the door.5hrs drive for me. also i felt i had to buy it as it was an auction .When home he cancelled the sale with e bay ? after I had paid .. Absolutley the opposite expierience i have had dealing with forum members when buying pins ie take your time cup of tea ,pin chat.
Thank you, that’s extremely helpful. One of my questions was about the last feedback he received on a vpin not being positive, which may have been you.
everything is very expensive. I see some people on here saying you would be mad to buy a NIB but given how close used ones are getting in to the cost of a new one? *Shrugs* I may as well buy new and have the convenience and comfort of knowing it will come with a 2yr warranty.
I know the feeling – that thought occurred to me last year when I was thinking of dipping my toe in for the first time, but mercifully I was in the right place at the right time to nab a couple of great machines.I feel like I've joined the pinball scene at the worst time
Hopefully the used market returns one day to the pricing you guys experienced.
They might be advertised at eye watering prices on the bay of fleaness, but i do not see them exactly flying off the shelves.
Anyone know the seller? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/174756095362?hash=item28b0466582:g:qDMAAOSwTw9gYcdU
Even over the last 3-6 months there's been some good priced machines between 1k and 2k here. Keep your eyes peeled and you'll find them.I feel like I've joined the pinball scene at the worst time
