The, "Oh gawd, what have I done?" feeling that kicks in within the last 5 seconds.. (Thinks - what does everyone else know but not me?)

I know that one well.

About 15 years ago I chucked a random £100 bid in for an Electrocoin Spectrum arcade cab with Carrier Airwing. Forgot I bid on it and ended up winning! The seller even chucked in delivery for free as he was delivering some pool tables in the North East!

My parents were gracious enough to let me put it in the dining room. That would be worth about £7-800 these days, with delivery on top! Didn't know the first thing about how arcade cabs worked

The 4k super centaur was a no brainer but was listed when l was offline.

I saw it an pondered for a whole 30 mins.. and there it was gone

 

[steve brum]

I didn't even see it

 

[wilbers]

Far as I know they can still end it - they just need to cancel any existing bids.
(Ive had this done before "Item is no longer available as it was lost or broken")

The lost choice for ending a pinball machine, for those who set it down somewhere, but cam't remember where, and its such a small thing to find where it was left.
If ended early with bids, then final value fee is charged on the amount it had been bid up to.

Same here but life goes on or does it

 

[HomerRamone]

Well it worked out OK for me cos I got a project complete with all bits to tinky it up.
Best of both worlds

Anyone else see the getaway on Facebook
I enquired 2days ago if it’s available, got a message back this morning saying yes, checked the listing, and it says pending
I’m guessing because of the price, potential scam, if not someone’s getting a bargain

That went for £3900. Was that a good price for a fairly modern machine. Is it a good game?

 

[steve brum]

One of the best to play. Its common hence maybe cheaper than it should be.

It’s a steal at that price. A really fun game.

Sensible money for a great game

 

[roadshow16]

Going to be listing some of my games on eBay this eve. I got a £1 final valuation fee offer, so seeing as I am over capacity I thought I'd see if there is some interest in a few of my less common games that I'm not that confident in pricing.

Games I will be listing are Cybernaut, World Challenge Soccer, Game Show and Dolly Parton I'll put a few pics here as well.

Any questions about any of them just let me know

 

[Jagspete]

^^^Saw the cybernaut and looks like a nice game, wondered who was listing interesting machines at great start prices!

 

[Drew Taylor]

I’m in for Cybernaut and Game Show.

Be kind to me.

So Cybernaut just finished at £1550. Wrote to the winner and this was the response. What a joke eBay is, there is literally no support for the seller in this situation. To be honest I'm not that disappointed, I've been loving playing Cybernaut since setting it back up. We shall see what happens with Game Show and World Challenge Soccer!

That's Ebay for you Craig, although Facebook isn't much better and my last 'buyer' in here was a time waster too, despite his so-called status in the Pinball Community. Anyway, sorry to hear this has happened, may be worth giving a second chance offer to the bid underneath? Otherwise, I'd relist at next Ebay fee offer as BIN inviting offers? Can't see the 'kids' being clever enough to do that

Why lie? Utter prick . . . . People like that should have the negative feedback festooned on their profiles and be forced to make a deposit when they bid on an item.

The crazy decision Ebay made not to allow buyers to receive negative feedback makes it a free for all for people to just d*ck you about.
