HaHa I was looking and looking and could only find the one up for £6k and was like, nah must be a different one. Pinflation. Must remember that.
 
He’s still got the Back 2 future i spoke to him today. he’s also got firepower, kings of steel and bad cats (possibly sold) plus a load of EMs still. If i had room i’d have the kings…..but…….

This has been rumbled before.

The all new eBay Auctions / Facebook / Gumtree / Shpock 2021 thread!!

2 Dr Dudes on EBay both currently at £1020. The better one sold recently at around £2k but now back on again. The other one looks manky and probably a heap of trouble!

Just remember Paypal funded by credit card is the ONLY way.

I have a good and reliable friend in Croatia with a nice TZ for sale if you have a business address for delivery and prepared to pay shipping/duty. Can link you to pics on Pinball Owners.

The plot thickens... he wants a bank transfer / cash for payment too.

These things are going up in value all the time!
Iin the minds of pinflationists they are.

That's me out of the bidding then, good spot @Pinlb. I'd seen it before and not clicked it was the same machine.
 
A friend of mine mentioned someone who had tried to sell him a pin on Facebook, believe his name was Colin based in wales somewhere said he had his own pinball company buying and selling etc does this ring a bell? Obviously pointed my mate to the right places but it got me thinking was this a scammer?

I pulled out of an EBay pin purchase in December as the seller wouldnt let me go through PP, bank transfer only. First blamed Ebay for giving all protection to buyer then blamed fees so I decided against it. My next question for the TZ seller was going to be payment options but I don’t think we’ll get that far now 😀

Near the bottom of his list. Name is Ante, broken English but passable to chat with him on it: http://www.pinballowners.com/cro_pinman

Think I've had about 12 machines from him over the years, all arrived safely.

It’s a nailed on scam - only ever pay cash on collection or via bank transfer when you are stood in front of the machine for eBay pinball purchases.

I’ve ask them some questions just to waste their time and take the p*** for my own amusement.

WARNING _ SCAM

I got this from ebay about the sellers account being hijacked:

"We think eBay account reecwhitin-3 has been used without the account owner's permission, so we're now restoring it to them. To protect this member's privacy, we can't share any more details about their account.

People sometimes misuse eBay accounts by sending emails from them. In these emails, they invite you to buy or sell outside eBay, or ask questions that have nothing to do with eBay. They do this in the hope that you'll respond and give them your email address.

We strongly recommend you treat emails from this member with caution and don't respond if you hear from them again.

I've just had a scam alert warning from Ebay that the username on that auction was hijacked and is now being returned to the rightful owner!
 
I messaged him I am in Manchester this week so let’s see if he’s willing to do a viewing.

Get him to take a photo with him next to it. Or ring him on facetime / WhatsApp or what ever the cool kids use these days.
