I agree Mark, Ebay is a place to simply advertise. Its a place to get interest from. No-one ever said ya had to leave it on there for the high fees. Plus, if a member comes into your showroom and offers you a reasonable amount for it, a seller would be crazy not to take it.
PLUS , a serious collector/player gets the pin, saving it for eternity.At least the machine will get serviced, new parts, and get to live long and prosper. Ok, i nicked that from spock.
But, after all, ya got to look after ya mates n fellow forum members. ofcourse.
Better than the pin going off to someone who wont look after it. !
