Ah, another Victorian pinball machine:

OK, here is my guess at what's happened: They bought a pinball machine close to one Christmas and paid too much money. It worked for about a month and then the ball return stopped working so they haven't played it for four or five years. Instead of fixing it they decided that they want it out of the lounge room where it is just taking up space. They don't really care how much they get for it as long as it is out of the house.
