I think I hit a raw nerve. I sent the following email to auctionsbrisbane:

Dear auctionsbrisbane,

Are you Mark Schneider.. used to be All Pinball... then Playwell Games?
If so, I am advised that you have a reputation for artificially driving prices up on ebay. I am genuinely bidding on this item and am aware of what a realistic price should be for pinball machines. If I become aware of any improper conduct or fraud, I will be taking legal action. I hope this auction will be conducted fairly. If not, pull it now.

Interesting introductory email considering he has something you want
