That big hole looks familiar
« on: October 06, 2015, 09:50:16 AM »
Doing a bit of research last night and I came across ad for a Fire Power from a year ago in Las Vegas that looked familiar to me it was the hole in the back box that gave it away.

and now

These machines really do get around.I don't know what the current owner paid but if it was close to the asking price when you add shipping/taxes/transformers/advertising/time/currency conversion ect..ect.. the mark up or asking price doesn't seem too bad.

Good detective work !

But still not worth the asking price in that condition, so stop talking yourself back into overpaying for it !

No I'm not talking myself into this one, in fact I may be talking to someone about another one that's not even advertised (fingers crossed) #@#

Machine has never been sold.

Current owner in the ebay ad is the same seller from Las Vegas . Aussie guy who runs a pinball / collectible store in Vegas but he is also based out of Brisbane .
