0 rated seller is a bit risky?
Any views on this machine/seller?

Can't find much about it but is the right era and price (if an offer was accepted).

What a detailed description!!
And of course we can tell a lot about the condition of the machine with just one photo taken from 6 ft away!
I'd love a tron.... Sighs
Thanks Carl, already on it. Auction info is a joke though.....
What a detailed description!!
May be a stock photo too, name of some arcade along the bottom.
Yeah, all the trademarks of a scam but near enough to visit if location is legit. Waiting for any response/info from seller.
Looks like a Choochoo Arcades photo. They're in US, not Birmingham....

Hopefully it's all legit and just a really lazy seller!

Probably a pikey with a knife and a big dog 
What a detailed description!!
If it is an actual image of the machine for sale - might have been lifted from somewhere else?
Well dodgy. The image is watermarked with CHOOCHOOARCADES which turns out to be a video arcade and pinball machine retailer from Chattanooga, Tennessee: http://www.choochooarcades.com/

Maybe we should offer him a new fuse for his camera?
No longer available, I wonder why??

WTF is going on. Ebay is awash with pinball machines.

I can't believe the Tron hasn't got a bid on it yet. Maybe people just haven't got a lot of disposable income at the moment.
The starting bid is 3250 though. That is already slightly over what most people here would value at Tron at I think. They usually go for around 3k.

Hmm ok, i must admit I've never seen a Tron for sale for 3k....if i did i would buy it.
But not at 3250?
oooh! Our old pal Rockypins has a ST:TNG up and live:
he's near me - I wonder if I should go take a look

Certainly looks like a very nice one, will be interesting to see what this goes for.
They don't come up for sale often. Only a few have popped up in the last year or so. The one on ebay has wear in some areas but a decent price for that pin (if you get it for the starting bid). If you were to pimp out a Tron with all the available upgrades, it would cost as much a decent B-list Williams/bally game and more. The pro is pretty bland as a standard machine imo.

I thought rockypins was on the official twat list?
Not heard of any issues with dodgy selling practices, only the story he bought a WH20 at a show at one price, then immediately sold it for a much higher one in a short time frame. I guess it rubbed some folk up the wrong way, but I don't know the full story. I do remember it being a nice example however.
That says one thing to me. He's a business man out to make money. Nothing wrong with that, but I would ask a gazillion questions and request as many pics if I ever dealt with him.
What REALLY got up everyone's nose though, is when James G, very kindly offered up a FREE peachy BlackRose playfield to anyone who promised to use it as a replacement for a worn one. And Mr Rocky Pins turned up and collected it, lying through his teeth about owning a BR and really needed it. Then the very next day puts it on eBay for in excess of a £100.
Now that's c@#tish.
Now that's c@#tish.

Sounds like a right twat.
