Another STTNG http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Williams-...eo_Games_Coin_Operated_MJ&hash=item1c475508f5
Anyone not selling a STTNG?

nice selection of cabinet pictures... and... some more cabinet pictures. For £2500 you'd expect at least a blurry shot of the plug or something??
I'm not selling mine if that's any use
I can delete some pictures if you need me to...
Hmm, cant see any holes at all in this one:
Person selling it isn't the actual owner of it and the actual owner (the son) may well not be around to answer any questions in person
Obviously anyone buying a pinball machine has no interest in knowing / seeing that it actually works. We just buy them for the decorated wood!
Well that fills me with confidence!
I'm sure anyone would be willing to take your word on that with no proof
Oh I'm sure its just as it was new in box!
Of course you do, which is why its listed for £500 more than a good one is worth
Ah, so that's where the extra £500+ is in the auction then, my bad!
And there you go, the seller has absolutely no knowledge of pinball.
Happy bidding everyone!

NICE
we should do more ebay related ones like this
If only the eBay listers could see how we rip them to threads on here.

"still has the original wrapping" Still has the orginal box?? From 1990's - bet it hasnt....
That is good break down on what worries/annoys us with ebay ads. The words start to sound more and more false when there things that don't ring true from the start.
Why would the son buy the pinball and never play it? I think this person needs to get their son checked out as they are obviously ill if they are willing to buy the machine and never set it up to play.

Think it was one of those personal challenges like putting a fruit pastel in your mouth without chewing it, got to admire the guys will power.
Today's top selling tips.....
Wait until someone else is selling the same machine then post yours for a higher price just above it. BF and RFM
Better still when selling your Batman Forever don't worry that people might be concerned about the big DMD failing use a photo from 2007 that'll reassure them

Thought that RS up on ebay sold earlier this year, seller is now selling the same machine again? he must have had two identical ones right

One of those is mine,the rfm , when I went to list it there was just the rough looking one up for 1500. When my listing went live it was just after the dearer one with the non standard screen...one of those sods law moments I guess
Oops, sorry Mr Bulldog, just yanking your chain a bit
Got to be gutting for this to happen. On the flip side I jumped on the first ID4 I saw after waiting 2 years and paid over the odds. One week later another turned upon Gumtree for half the price and 2 days after that another on the forum
Good luck with the sale

Anyone got a spare 10K?
Anyone got a spare 10K?
Think Marc is using his head and avoiding the ebay fees, knows nobody will pay £10k so it won't sell but it's there if anyone wants to make contact and negotiate a price, once machine has changed hands the listing can just tick down to a close with no sale & no fees, £250 is a silly amount of money for listing on any auction site and should be circumvented any way possible
So what's going on with the Fishtales? 3 days listing (never understand this one). All of a sudden it's gone from £750 up to £1800?

Place your bets for this one. Great looking machine, no reserve, Good advert and pics. Christmas coming up and a major pin show has just been
BUT.....
Will the possibility of an AFM remake coming after MMr have any impact?
Doubt it will go for a steal but wouldn't be surprised if it stayed under 4k. 18 months ago I would have guess at far higher
Personally I think both AFM and MB are potential runners to be reissued so will we see some restraint on prices for these titles?

Would definately agree with AFM but not so sure about MB. Mainly because of the Universal license they'd have to get to be able to include the monsters.
Shame too as i'd bloody love a MB.
I'd say 4k at least. Can't imagine a remake will be priced any less than 5k.
And if you've got a bit of spare change you could buy the watch he's also selling.

Maybe they put an extra '1' at the start of the bid amount by mistake.
My guess for the AFM is £4200
What is all this talk about #250 (sorry my pound sign doesn't work) Ebay auction fees. I have seen it mentioned on here but nowhere else.

eBay take 10% of final value up to a max of £250. It was £40. So anything over £2500 attracts £250 fee.
edit. Andy answered it
Thanks for clearing that up.
Pretty sure it's capped at £250 for private sellers. However there's no cap for business sellers, although I think it's only 9% in this category.
Still daylight robbery, as if they don't make enough, G*R*E*E*D
