The seller, specialwhenlit is Luke, Swinksy's friend, and by all reports, a real good bloke.
IMO, its a bargain at that price, apx $1200 off from what it owes him.

I reckon thats a very good buy. I cant seeing it lasting long at all.

i dare say he is selling due to being the lucky buyer of the avengers le that went for $6400.  He is well in front i would say.

I reckon your right, as he has three, a pro, blue le and hulk le, and he is already flipping the blue le for $8k a day after getting it.

I know luke and bought a pin off him and have not caught up for a while

I doubt he pay what we pay at AMD as he buys so many and probably gets a discount. He said the extras was valued at $800 but agree still a good buy for us, but wonder if it was one of the unboxed tourny pins at AMD or sited ???? as the blue le was stated to have only 20 games on it - just find something odd and details swapped around mistake maybe.

Chrome flipper bats ? They look standard to me. I thought these were fully LED machines anyway ?

I don't understand all these brand new machines being sold off with low plays. Didn't see this with AC/DC  !@#

I can not understand a sale so soon. I have both ACDC and Hulk. Design and play are poles apart which is to my liking. My mood dictates which machine I play. Take a look at the two signatures of their creators and it says all. Ritchie is circular and flows with some surprises for the unwary. Gomez is straight, angular and very sharp.

Flipping for a very nice profit.

I wrote to the seller via ebay, & he advised that he currently owns all three Avenger models, being the HULK LE, The BLUE LE and The Avengers PRO.
He stated he is keeping the HULK only and that he intentionally bought all 3 models to determine which one he likes the most, and therefore would keep.

IMO, the HULK is staying, the Blue LE is being flipped for a profit, and the Avengers Pro is being sold at a discount because he made some money on the Blu LE.
So it appears that its got nothing to do with not liking the game etc, but to do with his desire to try all the models out, and to keep or not to keep some for his business or personal reasons. The Avengers Pro does not come with full Leds either, only a few here n there, which is why the seller has added a full Led kit etc to make it look even better.

Ebay add has closed - so pulled because a sale behind the ebay system or just because...

I don't believe that statement Cavey and the ebay add says NEW - which suggests in the box, the pro was sited and still possibly is at Lemon Grove Hotel in Wallsend in Newcastle and is part of the tournament so it will have more than 20 plays and the Hulk is at Pizza n Pinball in Newcastle. If he is flipping for profit he obviously bought cheap which was only a few days ago so don't agree with the see which one I like when it is being flipped within a few days.

Don't get me wrong, good value but just wish people would be honest, some one might buy it because they want a new machine a HUO experience not a sited one.

If it was sited, then it is not NIB. By definition, this is incorrect. The proof would be if the box and packing was kept. If it was part of a Tournament, then it is not NIB. It is like buying a new car, driving out the showroom and doing 1000 KLMs - it is no longer new and it has depreciated. I'm not a fan of these "20 plays" games being sold at the moment. Profiteering at its worst.

Keep them, Peter. I'm serious. I found the original PARAGON packaging from 1980. Well it was one side of the box with the Bally logo and "Paragon - Australia" stamped on it.
