Just spotted these two pins on eBay with "THE PHOTOS ABOVE SHOW THE CONDITION OF THIS ITEM INCLUDING ANY ISSUES" as part of the description which is fine but there seems to be photos of multiple machines in each ad. Easily picked up with the different coloured flippers and broken and then not broken slingshot plastics. I don't understand why people do this?!

Always go straight to the ipdb listing in cases like these:

Even has the same camera date stamp of 1999.

Just lazy maybe? Silly thing to do if the games being sold are good themselves.

The fact that the seller has pulled an identical BIN number for all three machines (there's a Getaway listed as well for the same BIN price) seemingly out of thin air suggests they have no real idea as to value.

If I was local, I would be showing up there with a wad of cash and do an off ebay package deal on them for much less than asking price. Plus you can verify that they are not only genuine, but also in the condition advertised.

Seller's average ebay sale is a $50 pair of shorts, so roll up there in person with $6000 - $7000 in pineapples and watch their eyes light up.  %$%
