I wonder if people take lousy photos cause they are lazy and dont want to pay the extra few bucks in ebay fees OR if they are meaningly hiding a crappy playfield and a junky cabinet.  

HOWEVER, having said that, i have emailed a few sellers who have then sent me a whack of great photos to my off ebay site email and the pinball machines have been bloody great.

Sometimes it pays to ask for better photos. Got nothing to lose. Those listings also dont attract many bids or buyers so sometimes its a good thing they are lazy and ya can pick up a great deal.

ENJOY THE HUNT !
