people like that give the pinball industry a real bad name. the moment there were "phone bidders" u have to instantly think it was a scam.
then the owner bidding on his own pins is straight out fraud. I would have confronted the prick in front of fifty people, what an a$$hole.
why some people think they can charge 50 percent over the avarage/right price is beyond me. anyone asking 50 percent and over a normal price just makes a cock of themselves in front of everyoine in the industry plus the forums etc.
the moment any seller asks silly money for a machine, they instantly get labelled as a rip off artist and no one deals with them. these people are buying these machines in containers for next to nothing to start off with, you can easily double your money by charging sensible money. why try n triple your money and be greedy, u just look like a fool to everyone. shame someone from the federal police wasnt in attendance to lock them all up for fraud. friggin a$$holes.
