It's Groundhog Day!!
« on: July 17, 2011, 01:54:02 AM »

The BEST KISS available on EBay

I will take the FIRST reasonable OFFER for this machine.
DO NOT WAIT FOR THE LAST MINUTE
This is NOT the same machine I advertised a few weeks ago...
THIS IS A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT MACHINE.
This machine is MINT

Groan...

I reckon even die hard KISS pinball buyers are well and truely over the KISS pinball by now.
It is quite possible that this seller has single handed killed his own market.

I am so over this seller ...


Goundhog day alright.... tedious or what?

Definitely killed his own market. You only need to check out his feedback - nothing sold (on eBay) since Aug last year.

This is a different game, with the same mistakes as all the others. Take a look at the front door, it looks like it has been panel beated by a 5 year old.

But now the seller is resrting to dirty tactics, by having a shot at Bill's KISS machines - "You have probably also seen a dealer on here selling the less popular German Version for $10,000. ". What a complete and utter wanker, he tries to "overvalue" HIS game by comparing it to the German version !

My favorite line - "If you have been following these machines, you will know that there is currently a lovely machine on offer in the USA for $25,000" - Yes, but it has never sold for that price, and we "have been following" the recent KISS auctions - especially the seller's own games that have not sold.

" If you are a interstate buyer, and you engage a transport company to transport the machine, you will have to get them to pack the machine for you. ! " WTF ?

(WHY, u want stupid money for a machine and u cant pack it for the buyer - what a toss. *Also, what transport company is going to turn up, spend a few hours stuffing around packing a pinball machine, and what are they going to use for packing ? (after all, you cant just use anything to wrap the BEST KISS PINBALL IN THE ENTIRE WORLD/GALAXY/UNIVERSE/SOMEONE'S IMAGINATION  %.% %.%)    It seems this seller thinks transport companies are just going to bend over and cop it without complaining once - WRONG ! I dont know if the person selling the machine is a member or not, but the reality of it all has just somehow missed the mark.

The whole sales add reads like they are doing you a favour by offering this machine to you. $10 grand is not realistic. it just smells of overpromise and perhaps in the end, underdeliver.

p.s- I have 29 Kiss machines i will be selling shortly, they are only $1,000,000.00 each and are the best in the whole street.   !!@ !!@ @@* @@*

Ahhhhhhh ... I knew I needed a laugh tonight, and these are some classic responses.  Well done gents, my family was wondering what I was laughing about when reading this post.  Truly a shame the seller wouldn't post these responses.  Actually now thinking about it, can you imagine the pages of view you would need to capture all the comments that have probably come back to this guy.

I think he has listed 6-7 KISS machines, but only sold one. He often makes the same mistake of posting pictures of two different machines in the same Auction (as he did with the last machine with the overlay).
