Slash's brother selling his GN'R pin

I thought the buy it now price of $4,995 was pretty cheap given the connection to Slash and the fact it's apparently hardly been used.

I had a chuckle at how his brother is called Ash.

Looking further at the photos it looks like it could do with a good clean, plus there is the common wear where the Axl hole spits the ball back onto the playfield. What you can see of the cabinet it looks a little scruffy too.

HUO doesn't necessarily translate into well looked after with some people?

I would pay a little bit extra for the provenance (I'm a mad gnr collector) obviously not as much as I would if it was one of the band members. But it does have the name plate on and he obviously has the same surname as Slash. Maybe you could engrave the letters "S" and "L" next to Ash on the plate.

I notice Marc Canter is selling it for him. A longtime friend of the band who photographed and videoed lots of the early club days of the band. He's got a good book Reckless Road if you were a fan of the original band.  I'm guessing selling this for Slash's brother won't endear him with Axl. Although Axl ostracised Marc (like he has most people) a few years ago around the time his book came out, much to Marc's disappointment.
