Spotted this not long after listing, was wondering how long it would take to be mentioned here, photos are shitty so would have too take a punt or a look if interested, my c37 is still sitting in shed waiting for resto, I picked up a really nice reproduce back glass from Ron Webb a year ago, but appears to be all sold now, seller did not help themselves by not listing the title.
Cheers
Dave

Guys, just a heads up with this seller.  I don't know if anyone knows him or knows of him but I have just received some 'colourful' messages from him after I retracted my original bid.  This was the first time I have ever retracted a bid on eBay but after speaking to him, I learnt that there are several areas of playfield wear not mentioned in the listing as well as damage on the backglass which wasn't mentioned until I pointed it out in the pic he had on the listing and he reluctantly admitted it was there.  It seemed the best thing about the machine was that the "thermometer thing is working".

I didn't get a good feeling after speaking to him and after learning more about the machine and what was omitted from the listing I chose withdraw my bid.

If anyone is interested in this machine it might be well worth a personal inspection first.  Best of luck with it.

Thanks for the heads-up Pintoxicated.
I have had a few occasions where the description/pics omit details of bad damage.
Also find that the sellers who use "colourful" messages when things don't go there way are normally hiding something.
Lets go Brandon!

Hard to tell mate,  there is wear down below the flippers which you can make out in the pics but there is apparently also wear down the right side lanes which you can't see in the listing pics.  It was difficult getting info out of the seller.  For someone like you it probably wouldn't be too bad, especially if you already have a nice backglass and you don't have to factor in transport as well.

I was unsure after I spoke to him on the phone but after the few messages he sent through he made my mind up for me.  One other thing as well, it sounded like he was using his friend's eBay account so the feedback may not be relevant for this guy?????
