Here is another classic on ebay at the moment.  $950 for a "handmade by a local Melbourne craftsman" Gtb backbox with a less than perfect Hulk backglass.

This Incredibke Hulk Wooden light box is all handmade by a local melbourne craftsman. The pinball glass translite is a completely original piece that has been procured from the Incredible hulk original pinball machine and mounted onto a new box and fitted with back lighting. The piece is individually designed to exude a sense of days gone by when things seem to have been made with care and individuality, and not so mass produced to be unnoticed any more!.

Some people have no idea or no shame.

Ha, ha, so funny if you get sucked in by these decore experts.
I also notice they have a line "* Discount for multiple purchases."
Boy, that Melbourne craftsman must be mass producing those things. Probably explains the crappy joins on the left side of the box.
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,

That is the backbox frame/door from the ORIGINAL game that the glass is mounted in.. i'm confused, are they trying to pass THAT off as the local "craftsman's" handywork?? Or has he just made a box that is fitted behind it.. why not show some pics of the back if thats the case??

Anyway it goes without saying that $950 is WAAAY too much for that glass.. what a total  !!@

As for this guy.. well he's a total bullshit artist, those standup targets are filthy, and have obviously had wires soldered to them (and wires cut off)  %.%
Does he think people are blind or stupid or something?? a couple of them look like they MIGHT be new as the solder tabs are clean (no solder)

There might be two or three targets in there that look like they have never been used.

Yep and apart from 20 to 30 years of use the others are brand new to.  :lol
