A friends really nice Gottlieb Flying Chariots on eBay, can vouch for him👍

Have played it myself and pictures don't do it justice😁
 

Solar Fire went for £3200 - anyone on here get it?
 
Bizarre game here on the bay. Would probably need to be in a large collection as I think it could get old very quickly.

The same seller has other interesting/ off piste titles up for sale including this Gottlieb.


I can imagine either or indeed both of these causing chaos at a league meeting
 
The door bell special edition Fish Tales is back on eBay. 🤔


Can anyone remember if it’s the same seller?

I’m definitely not endorsing it (lol) but the door bell was probably worth more than the machine 20 years ago. Probably why so many crazy repairs surface.

Yh it's the same seller.

"A doorbell style fitting has been fitted to assist the trigger mechanism, this can easily be replaced if required." o_O

Translation: "The trigger mechanism is broken and, despite claiming to have owned this pin since 1992, I haven't investigated how to fix it. You can replace this doorbell, but it will leave a hole in the cab." :rolleyes:
 
the most stupid thing is you can set the ball launch to the flipper buttons in the options menu so why install a fecking door bell 😄

pictures aren't great but looks like the playfields actually in good nick??, no wear around the lower inserts. Possibly a nice little project if it went for £2200
 
The question is, why didn’t the original buyer follow through with the sale?

Either it was a shill bidder, the buyer made no contact, or the buyer turned up, had a closer inspection and decided to walk away.
 
this is eBay , buyers have NO obligation to do bugger all
Exactly this. I used to sell on eBay all the time. Now I try to avoid selling in there and is only the last resort.

Yet when I do, I usually get messed about, especially with high ££ items.

If i am being honest i have been messed around on the info site more than ebay . Where is the obligation to go ahead with a deal on the info site when someone simply changes their mind whether buying or selling......like they say they have changed their mind,their wife crashed the car,i am moving house and the mortgage is dearer, my family loves the pinball and we can`t let it go , or simply do not get back to you after they contact you in the first place etc.etc. It`s all too easy to send off a message if you are bored and nothing better to do but it does my head in if half the time they are not serious in the first place. And before anyone thinks i am having a go a the site i am not, it is in general pretty damn good but some folk out there need to get a life.

I guess that's what a deposit is for; don't mark as sold until you have a deposit 👍🏻
 
Anyone on here get the £200 working Road Kings on FB?

Data East Playboy on eBay


And a Tommy:

 
Data East Turtles for sale at a discount furniture/ second hand goods retailer in Retford, Nottinghamshire. £2,500 ono

A mate saw this and sent to me yesterday.

I have never owned a DE game and have no dog in this fight. Seems to be a completely random sale. Can't imagine why the shop has not put it up on eBay
