Some sellers have no idea really. sometimes helps if you message them and show them some recent ebay sales results to get their valuation view changed.

" Of course it will need to go through the workshop to make sure it’s the best it can be." - I think that means it will be back up to 10K once shopped. Move quickly chaps!

Listen, I know what it's worth...
An offer of 850 got me a counter offer of £1600.
Maybe still a little steep - but im deffo no expoyt. But it is sold as spares (even if it does work) so..

Maybe go in at a grand
Yeah - I mean next logical offer be £1k - but would expect him to counter with maybe 1200-1300. Which is probably more than I would want to pay for it. (Not sure its not worth that mind you - but to me its not - esp. since its not one im familiar with)

Apparently the T2 IS no longer available because the item is lost or broken, How exactly do you lose a pinball machine?
Behind the back of the sofa cushions
I put a cheeky £1k bid on it and the reserve wasnt met. Not long after it shot up to £2k.
Earlier today my bid was cancelled - which you need to do if you take the listing down I recall. So avoiding the ebay and/or PP fees I suspect

'It'll be back'
So the non working Elektra went for £1020. Did people forget to retract their bids or is that really the going rate at the moment?

£1k for a bally ss is about right. don’t matter if it works or not. it’s probably just a fuse
I think 1k for that elektra is about right on eBay. 700 would have been sensible and left some margin in it for the buyer in case of a nasty surprise like needing new boards
Whoever buys it will probably spend a lot of time and money on it though. 6x linear flipper mechs alone will be surprisingly expensive. It will need a massive amount of metal cleaning/ tumbling.
And at the end of it, the cabinet is heavily faded and the backglass is goosed. It won't attract a premium price so the buyer may lose money with a 1k in price

You still get charged for cancelled auctions, 10% of the highest bid.
Really? Is this a new policy, as don’t recall it happening before......
Just done a bit of research as I can’t remember where I heard this. It seems you’re allowed to cancel one auction per year without getting charged (since 2014).
I guess they were sick of people using it to list and selling of ebay.
I mean I can see why they would do this - but it just seems less and less of a nice place to sell. (Not that was ever especially great).
I never understood why they hid any useful information about bidders either - seems like it be really easy to shill nowadays

You have to remember it’s a business that takes 10% of highest bid. You used to be able to spot shill bidders from a sellers past sales and bids on other items. Now that you can’t ,prices can be inflated and eBay get a bigger commission.
My seller just cancelled an item won on eBay - It didn’t reach what he hoped ! - I have reported him as I never requested to cancel
had the same problem way back in 2015, won an auction for a Shadow
somebody called Steve from Fareham, Hampshire
after i won the auction he claimed he turned it on and smoke poured out of it and it would be really expensive to repair!
I said never mind i'll still take, never heard from him again
he might even be on here?
i'll look up his ebay id
cheers Bob

Buying is now a minefield the worst atm is Facebook I recently viewed a machine , owner wasn’t into pinball but had placed an ad on fb market place I viewed a rather ruff 90’s Williams / looks mint in photo and was trying to do a deal whilst taking into account all the issues - there were lots ! But then answer back was just Facebook says .... yeah but Facebook says .... I put a good price in on it but -again but Facebook 90% have no intention of driving with tools 100’s miles to pick it up or view , the phone was pinging as we tried to talk. Pinball buying is screwed at the moment. Sure glad I viewed before I put an offer in mind ... tbh I’ll be amazed if my next pin isn’t nib
If there was machines to play close by like Flipout/Chief etc I probably wouldn’t have any and have a happier wife!!!
Although this last year it’s been very handy.
