LOL. That was the first thing I thought when viewing that page.

Then I had a vision of the legs collapsing on my toes with the weight of a pin on top. AAAAIEEEEE!!!

Not that I'm accusing anyone of shilling as shilling would be wrong

Seems odd that the person who restored the game is bidding on it:

Maybe £2250 is a good price for a restored RS, it's a few shillings more than I'd be willing to pay though.

Well spotted!
 
I looked at the details and couldn't find any long winded, narcissistic reference to the restorer being 'THE MASTA CREATORRR'?

Also, that ad doesn't have a mocking tone which insinuates EVERYONES work as inferior, and not worthy of at least several hundred Tate gallery viewings. :rolleyes:



P.S: I just spent twenty minutes building a masterpiece of a chair made from magnum lollypop sticks. As you mere mortals can never afford your own, I'm willing to sell this to you cretins for the working class sum of just £3500.

LOOOVE MEEEEEE!!!!!!
 
Shady indeed. I didn't understand what was meant by mark9 but I went and had a look at Mannys feedback score and he's got 2434 feedback which matches up with the second highest bidder shown below.

( 2434

) £2,200.00

Of course it could be a coincidence I guess. I'm sure there will be others with the same feedback score.

It was 2433 earlier, as is the aforementioned user ID, so no coincidence - it IS one and the same. My guess is that he has a customer for it but the seller was asking silly money.

AFM on ebay.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Bally-ATT...eo_Games_Coin_Operated_MJ&hash=item2ed41a1424

I don't think I have ever seen one with such fade on the playfield. :eek: Must have been in the sun all its life.

Another £1200/1500 worth of parts and a shedload of hours labour should sort it right out though. :D

I saw one exceedingly similar

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ORIGINAL-...D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

I thought it was on the cusp @ £3k, obviously Steve Pagget thought there was a profit in it
 
LOL. Yep, that's the machine alright.

Good luck to him if he thinks he can get that for it, but the days of big money going on ****ty pins is well and truly over. (imo of course)

Big money going on nice stuff however is another matter entirely.
 
I put my peachy resto up on the group a couple weeks back (new pf, artwork, ramps, coin door, legs, plastics, loads of mods, fully work-shopped won best at show etc etc for £4500 (OK wasn't ****d about selling and no pics supplied etc, obviously not desperate to sell) but there was little interest (probably due to my lame effort) doubt he would get £3700 for that one, cab art and pf would cost about a grand straight off and then you would potentially have to pay someone about a grand to restore the cab, fit artwork and do the playfield swap, jees, mine seems like a bargain, I must be subconsciously trying to sell it again :D
 
Is it the same AFM machine that sold for £2,995 on June 22 being flipped for £3,750? But it's ok folks, it's "Seller Refurbished" and it's looks as though it's had at least £755 worth of effort put into the description write-up on eBay.

Perhaps that was the reason it didn't sell?

I realise they were done to a good standard, but they stray from the norm and some folk may not like that. Put some original decals back on it and I bet it would sell for what you want.
 
New owner can do that if they so wish, I like the decals, one of five on the planet, std decals are readily available, these are not ;)
