The first rule of ebay is that anyone who asks you a question, definitely will not buy your item. I don't even respond to questions any more. Presumably this guy knows the way it works ;-)
Like I said, I've literally never had anyone who asked a question actually buy an item. And in the past I've had people ask question after question, the most bizarre and time-wasting things to check, take photos of, etc, then have them not even bid.I always ask several questions before bidding / buying… and still buy the item if the answers I get do not put me off. Why would you not respond to questions that’s absolutely crazy, unless you don’t really want to sell it I guess or have not provided an accurate description
Can't see this lasting long

Was this the Baywatch? I was about to contact him and it was then removed.I asked a question the other day, “ can you take pic of the battery’s on the board”. In the ad he said he owned it 18 years.
The reply was I never knew it had battery’s!
I got gazumped even after he said he got messed about in the ad, he just told me it was sold after he ended the auction.
Bellend, did me a favour as I think I will buy a car lift/ramp instead for my garage and make life easier
Yes, was in Ruislip. My bro lives 5 mins away and he agreed for him to look for me. Agreed a price too, then he didn’t get back to me. Next thing he sends a message that it’s sold.

Made enough fuss on his listing about not being messed about but he was a messer himself
Be careful, it doesn't work.... Owner just looks at it because it's 'cool'what's all this abba chatter? This looks like a proper pinballSpace Team 1988 Pinball Machine Vintage Table Tecnoplay Electronic GAME | eBay

I spoke to the guy. He reckoned it stopped working "5 or 6 years ago". The lack of power to the display suggests that the battery leakage on the main board will be extensive and there are no replacement boards available for Tecnoplay at all. I made him a reasonable offer as I could definitely make use of the backglass and crossover ramp for the one I am restoring, but he's convinced it will sell for megabucks.Be careful, it doesn't work....

Ouch! Deffo worth something in parts, but not much more than £500 surely? Can't be a huge call for dead technoplay pins. My interest was having another pin to play with the homebrew tech I inherited from AlanJ, but that's not a realistic option having assessed space. If you have restore this is a good donor option, at a sensible price though.
That was my assessment too, I offered him £600 based on what it will cost me to get a new backglass made and the other parts I need to fabricate to complete mine - I've already had to make a complete new cabinet for it due to woodworm and damp damage and there are a number of mechanical parts I am missing, but I have a complete set of working electronics so I know I could make a great complete machine but there is a price limit ultimately. I expect someone will buy it at an inflated price thinking they are getting an easy fixer upper "just needs a couple of fuses and some bulbs" without knowing what they are getting into.Ouch!

I hope common sense wins then @Zaccaria Keith . .. would be a shame for this opportunity be lost for you . Sounds like a great outcome for seller and potentially buyer if that did work out
Surprised he told you that. He was very cagey about admitting that it doesn't work. Obviously he has made out that it works in the ebay auction to inflate the price. It sounds like they have been using it as an ornament having it powered up for the GI only, so any electrical issues it has will have been worse by it being powered up broken for years.
So would I, and I have the parts to do so!Surprised he told you that. He was very cagey about admitting that it doesn't work.

I'd still want to fix it though
That DP is back on at 1k more than before, suspicious listing and one to be careful with.
Nah, they used to respond with some positive comments, like they were defo going to buy it (e.g. asking about how and when they could collect it, how to pay, etc), then don't even bid It's the tire-kicker situation DRD mentioned. And it's been my experience across the board selling on ebay.
Would have been very tempted by this (just to look at
