Looks like unpopulated playfield....that's unlikely surely?

Yes and furthermore it has signs of use. Whoever stripped it must have put all the parts somewhere...

"Internally there appears to be just the table board, but no components for operating the pinball"

They list there being glass but it not being pictured and the bolts for the legs being missing, so it's odd they don't mention all the parts , because there would be a lot!

 

[BrianSoton]

MM gotta be bid as empty cabinet with old playfield unless any members are going to viewing day and can update us?

 

[MadNat]

Do you know the owner then? Curious to know if the MM parts are in a box in the cab, or if the game really comes as barren as it looks...

I don’t have any connection. Just like the idea if I popped my clogs and Mrs MadNat or MadNat Jr’s decided to auction my games they’d fetch fair value rather than go to someone profiteering.

Also a ridiculous array of tempting vintage arcade machines and bandits.

Hey, Hook on eBay (Warrington) is my friends but I’m selling for him, I’ve had 2 messages on eBay with people mentioning pinball info, so hit me up on here if you want a viewing or my mobile number. I welcome viewing as I’ll show whoever the ridiculousness of the d(“knead in north London called Lester Whifen ( lestandbeth) is his eBay user name, I know he’s not on here as he’s never owned a pin before!
If he bids on anyones ebay pin I’d cancel the bid personally.
Looking forward to someone viewing or collecting as I’ll show you the messages from him

24% buyers premium
6% commission

So final price is literally 50% above whatever the bidding ends at?

 

[HomerRamone]

Do they put the 24% on then the vat. Wouldn't be surprised if they did

 

[andrew.m]

im sending my pal to look at the mm I would say from the picture its the remains of a refurb job and there the pieces that are left over all the machines are from Germany which is strange as there worth more money there

This looks like the same one that has been for sale on the forum for a while now, but it’s marked as no longer available.

Yes, it looks like you're right actually. I did think that was steep at the time. With less pictures it looks better lol

Yeah I agree, the photos on FB make it look a lot better imo

 

[huggers]

Thanks @Rob zombie . I'm out of the game for a while unfortunately. But yeah think that's the one on sale on here already for ages

looks that way doesn't it - you may well struggle for any more out of partridge auction house , not because they are being shifty but more so that they sell 3000-4000 items on this general sale , you would never get all those playfield bits together would you ?

 

[benjamin lawrence]

Well an infamous heighway Bacardi cropped up on flea bay does this even count?

Can't tell if it's the picture but is the plunger even level looks a bit cockeyed

eBay's latest that don't appear to be the usual junk.

Mustang Pro looks to be a fun game, this one appears to be genuine listing for a change.

Alice Coopers Nightmare Castle. I was researching this Pin the other day actually, it looks and sounds great. But this one appears highly priced as per usual on eBay.
