Car Hop on Ebay
« on: September 05, 2010, 12:43:19 PM »
Will this sell?
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/CAR-HOP-Pinball-SUPER-RARE-4-Player-57-Chevy-Chevrolet-/200515028457?pt=AU_CoinOp&hash=item2eafa085e9
I saw this at an auction recently and it looked pretty rough and checking the Pinball Price guide it doesn't look like a high demand pin.
The same seller is selling 2 other machines and all three are obviously container pins.
The Road Kings was VERY ROUGH and was passed in at  $1200 (auctioneer starting bid)
I hope I am not offending anyone on AP but why can't people sell machines like these for what they are - cast offs from a container load.

Any comments?

He says -

Regretfully, I am selling off most of my pinball collection that I have built-up over the years

So that's not true??

"On consignment from Amusementworx" From the Road Kings auction.

That Car Hop looks to be in read bad shape. Won't sell for half the asking price.

I think he is expecting a bit too much, here is a link to a Road Kings that sold recently:

Looks to be a pretty good example and it sold for less than the starting bid of this Ebayers Road Kings.
