Noticed on his second photo that it is a Garage Sale.

He is in Townsville, the heat must have got to him. May as well call it "Lord Of the Cash Till Rings"

Awesome condition? That does not tell the buyer much.
If you don't remember the 70s then you were on drugs.
If you remember playing pinball in the 70s you were having a good time.
If you don't remember anything,  then read about it here,

He either has an unrealistic idea of what his gear is worth or he's looking for a sucker.

Isn't that what most people on Gumtree are doing? !@#

Most of these are in very good condition but I know what he paid for them and it is less than the asking price...at the end of the day people are allowed to ask what they want for a machine-whether they get a sale is a different matter altogether.
