Yep I was thinking about that today. Build your own Kiss. If not to sell then for yourself, but, it ain't original and you'd know it so where's the fun in that?? %.%, and I ask myself everyday whether to touch certain pins i own, or just leave them. Read all about it in my 'to restore or not to restore' thread. I can tell you one thing, it's hard to get a bloody straight answer, I think everyone is in two minds when restoration gets to a certain point. Keep it worn and real/authentic, or looking nice but fake, that's the way I look at it anyways :D.
i prefer nice but fake, you tell me what looks better, a couple of oranges in a pair of stockings or silicone implants. @@* I will pick the implants any day, who cares if they are fake, they look and feel better than a pair of droopy oranges any day.  :lol

seller makes himself look bad by pulling the first auction, because bids didnt get high enough/quickly enough

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/KISS-Pinball-Machine-MINT-CONDITION-/110553368190?cmd=ViewItem&pt=AU_CoinOp&hash=item19bd7e867e

This machine will replace Gavin's favorite eBay listing (Spottem') - How many relistings ? I think all "serious offers" are exhausted ?

Seriously - that battery should be removed and C23 needs to go. The "factory look" the restorer is looking for is missing as the doors and surrounds are GRAINED, not ploished !!

Who was the dealer that sold a KISS for $11,000 ?

Very suss.. But a beautiful restoration nevertheless

99c starting price... buyer has confidence in the merchandise and so they should.. is a VERY nice example of KISS.
Not sure there are anymore 12K buyers out there though... my guess is $8750.
No one is going to be worried about the boards.. is a piece of piss compared to the artwork, price of a pin is nearly always established by the condition of the PF, cabinet, BG and all electronic components present.

Wish KISS was a better player though... snooze factor 9 for me im  afraid

Anyone know the seller?  Has done a great job overall.  Says it has been inspected by two of the leading pinball identities whom say its the best they have seen.  So two members of this site have seen it??  I mean this is where industry identities come is it not?? :lol
