That's a pretty ****ty 2nd High Score. Genuine reason for sale.

Yup. The genuine reason for sale is they can’t play it.

This was posted on the eBay thread last week. Contacted the seller but never heard back after requested additional pictures. Also selling on behalf of a friend etc etc.
Could be a scam, but hopefully legit and someone gets in on group.

Is the factory 2nd High Score even that low??

 

[mark9]

And it’s an LE not Premium, surely you would know that if you owned it?

I’ll let you know when I beat it on mine.

[RobZombie]

Interesting one. Looks like UK plug sockets.

 

[Kenny Taylor]

Yep LE decals..

 

[Kenny Taylor]

Make sure it has the certificate if someone does decide to buy it..

 

[thelab]

might be one of those 'he had an affair' I'm gonna get my revenge...

 

[johnwhitfield]

I would suspect it's genuine. Not exactly a bargain, price is about a grand higher than the original NIB price for the LEs. Might be the going rate for one, who knows these days.....

 

[Pie Man]

So what's a fair price for an LE then?

 

[thewool]

Beware looks bogus, definitely not a premium so why describe it as such.

It seems odd but how would a scam work if it is for collection only ?

That is the going price for a Le defo a walking dead and tron anyway.

 

[J85M]

Very odd, contacted her but it’s not her machine it’s her friends, she gave me her number and the photos supplied where questionable supposedly a bad camera on her phone, it’s 2017 doesn’t everyone have a decent camera now....?

 

[Kenny Taylor]

I know HLD had one for sale. So it could be a newbie that’s bought it. Premium LE most folk wouldn’t know the difference.

As long as you don’t part with any cash till you see it in person and complete sale. Guess it would be ok.. what happens if it’s on HLD credit.. no expert on that..

Maybe we need a HPI check on pins ;-)

That’s a great point Kenny, wouldn’t the credit transfer to the new owner in the same way any other credit agreement or HP does?

It is an LE and if you owned it and wanted to sell it for £7.5k, would you put up a decent description more than 1 line. Nice for the family to play? Give over. move on people.

 

[Tombyrne]

You would have to go with cash, Don't give any info as to where you are from, use false number plates till you got round the corner.
Job done.

 

[paddythegreek]

False number plates!! This is a pin in Notts not an undercover operation for MI5. Whilst you're looking over the pin some eagle eyed copper runs said false plates through the system and you end up in court trying to defend your actions. If you're lucky you get a fine, if not you're in Parkhurst trying not to drop the soap in the showers.

 

[johnwhitfield]

Hmmm

 

[ronsplooter]

This is a pin in Notts

If the location is true then it's only up the road from me. Toyed with the idea of going to have a look but can't be ****d tbh

“Great fun for all the family”. I can imagine little johnny asking “mommy why has that funny man’s head been blown off?”

My kids aged 2 and 5 love it. Although mostly because its got a train track. I think they expect to see Thomas come hurtling through the pop bumpers.

bought my le 3 years ago, nib was £7k, with demand and pinflation worth that now or even a little more

For the sec then I thought you put the track mod on with Thomas the tank engine
