Kiss "near mint"...not in my book

[spacejam0]

Check out the description "near mint" then take a look at the playfield wear. A bit of a discrepancy there IMO.

Yep... worn to a nubbin

A little more wear than the  "SLIGHT WEAR IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PLAYFIELD" in the description to say the least.
At least it's clearly shown in the pictures though.

F**k me.... next time i sell a pin on Ebay im going to tell everyone that i played my first pin at X age.. hunted one down for X years.. found one all alone in someones shed.. etc etc etc.. and here it is for sale..

...Once upon a time in shed land there lived a lonely pinball machine left all alone in a corner.. its name was KISS..


Groan.. its a KISS pinball and given a $1 start it will sell itself based on who wants it and how much wear it has.. simple.. not sure i need its life history

I just can't believe someone sat down and authored that rubbish. A "fan" who does not know the difference between the USA / Export version and the German version ? Most pinheads know the difference and all diehard fans know "why" this was done. The fact that is was played only a couple of times by the new owner (with witnesses) does not discount that fact the game had thousands of plays on location ?

THE ONLY FLAW IS THE SLIGHT WEAR IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PLAYFIELD, IT DOESN'T AFFECT THE DIRECTION OR TRAVEL OF THE BALL.

Slight wear?????!!

Hmm, that's just down the road from me.

Maybe I could get a deal on it and the Rollergames as well. Rollergames sounds like a beauty too

 I want a KISS machine and it's relatively close (3 hours away), but I don't want one this badly. Near mint? That's like buying a taxi and trying to sell it as "near mint".

Near mint

Mind you it looks a bargain compared to this one

Oh no, I just re-read my post - I don't think my sarcasm came through enough.....
