I think you will find the seller is using the title as advertising. The only problem with that is when prospective customers see a nice game with an expensive price tag, they assume the same for all the other stock.

The cabinet is actually really well done compared to some other games I've seen recently (different seller).

Lol yer no lock and no coin return flap. It's looks like the restore he has done is very nice but not a complete restore.
This is a classic example of why LEDs don't work in backboxes.
Under the hood hasn't been fully restored.
My question is guys, what do YOU think it's worth?

Speaking of improvements. Here's one with an autograph, must be worth a fortune now  ::)

"Firm on price" as well. I think he's going to own this one for a long time to come.

The seller 'billxixix' being from Williamstown sounds like "Bill" from Williamstown who I believe operates the eight or so pins at Bartronica Melbourne.  As an operator and vendor of used machines, he should know what machines sell for.  I'd say he is expecting this will be on eBay of a while, or until a non pinball person sees the add.

Seller usually lists the machines as thirty day listings, so probably not expecting a fast sale.  ()

Aren't these part of the container imports from Greece?

No disrespect to the actor since I love the BTTF trilogy, but how much value can an autograph add to an item from someone who attends conventions all over the world on a regular basis and does nothing but sign paraphernalia for 8 hours a day?



Like a factory production line -

Shake hands
Tired smile
Have item shoved under nose
Select pen/texta type
Sign
Push item back to owner without eye contact
Rinse and repeat

Next we'll be seeing pinball ads with "signed by Gary Stern" as a selling point!  %.%

Not much choice really, since they can't use complete code as one of the attributes.
