Gottlieb - Surfer in SA
« on: August 03, 2011, 07:14:08 PM »
Here is a surfer for sale though when you read the description you have to wonder:
- one owner since new but doesn't seem to know much about it.
- not mucked around with, nor been in a business but it has no lock and a padlock bracket on it.
- doesn't have scratches or chips but has graffiti engraved in it

and asking a starting bid of $1500.....

Looks like the backglass is nice and the playfield looks ok too.
Not sure if anyone will take the first bid of $1500 though.
If it had a starting bid of $500 it might get close to $1500, hard to know, Ebay can be unpredictable.

It has the standard wear near the kick out and up the centre along the insert edges.

 %.% doesn't have chips or scratched but has grafitti engraved in it.  To me that would mean it's scratched unless they paid a proffesional to engrave some grafitti on the side  !!@

definitely operated. Coin door padlock is a dead give away and also the "asset number" is labelled on apron (the shooter guage).

Also mylared. No home machine should need mylar !

Looks as though the spinner has been 'mucked around with' ! &&
