I have copied and pasted this from the ukpinball group. We need to all make a concerted effort to AVOID this bunch of jokers as much as possible...

Caveat Emptor - Buyer beware.....
I didn't want to have to send this mail, but due to the total zero response from Steve at PP regarding a recent eBay purchase, in which a Spanish friend lost over £800 due to false information, I now have to follow up with a warning to all...
Here is the eBay auction in question:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Pinball-M...e-/221226830501?ssPageName=ADME:X:RTQ:GB:1123
My Spanish friend (Juan) saw this ad and asked me to contact the seller to ask more about the machines. I did and spoke to Steve... I asked what the condition of the backglass for Master Stroke was because it wasn't photographed, he said it had a small chip out of one corner that can't even be seen when it's in the game, and that the paint was perfect.
I won the auction and Steve packed the games for shipping to Spain (for an additional £90).
The cost of shipping these 'restorable beauties' as the description calls them was over £500.
Around a week later, Juan sent me photo's of what turned up on his doorstep... see attached.
I was horrified...
Not only that, but the head for the Williams Soccer simply wasn't there... and the head for the Master Stroke was from another game!! I think the light board is from Master Stroke and has been thrown inside another head. The glass doesn't fit and was therefore shipped out of the head!
I have tried to contact Steve via numerous ways... email, text, phone (all of which were successful prior to the cash being sent) over the last week with no reply... He did pick the phone up once, but when he head my voice he said he couldn't hear me, and hung up...
Juan has paid over £850 for this stuff which, as I'm sure you will agree, would struggle to hold a value of about £150 for the three playfields and Baby Doll glass...
I've asked Steve for a refund of the amount that Juan lost (£715), but no reply...
Needless to say I'm disgusted by this treatment... he has lied on eBay and to me on the phone, and as a result my friend has lost so much money... the main loss was the shipping! It would have been a LOT fairer if Steve had have simply stolen the cash, but the loss now is way greater than the price of the machines!
There have apparently been some changes at PP... so now you can see how they operate after the changes!
I paid by bank transfer since he didn't accept PayPal (clearly I know why now!)... I'm pretty sure that payment is not reversable, although I haven't contacted my bank yet...

The original Ebay auction....
I am selling a job lot of three pinball machines for spares or restoration. The sale due to recent ill health as I am unable to continue with many of my projects. The first machine is a Williams Soccer although I have not located the back glass. I have another Williams Soccer machine complete and fully working to be sold separately but not in this auction. The others are a very rare Sagassa Baby Doll and a pool based rare Recel Masterstroke great play fields and back glass. I may split and any one who has the time to restore these beauties will have three extremely rare and collectable pinballs. Some work has been completed with play field clean and re-rubber etc.
