The video where they take a sledgehammer to a very nice lookin Bally ROLLING STONES is by far the most sickening.. is very hard to watch as they all shout and cheer.

This lot are just a bunch of F**kwits

Not forgetting the clown that used a hammer and chisel to remove a Cactus Canyon head decal. That has to be top 3 on the Darwin pinball list.

I look at those vids and think those tossers don't care less about pinball or the hobby. If they did they certainly wouldn't do that. I'm sure plenty of hobbiests would have taken those games and tried to save them.

I wouldn't feed these people if they were local to me.

It would have been better if they said "collect your game for $100 as is. First come, first srved."
They would have made some money and would not have to clean up the mess. The bad publicity alone has cost them dearly.
Some people just don't get it.

If you remember playing pinball in the 70s you were having a good time.

I didn't want to post that vid Gav because the site wants to keep its PG rating........

I only saw it recently on Pinside and couldnt believe what i was watching.. i would dearly LOVE to have the Bally RS in my collection.. its high on my wishlist but far too expensive. To see him smash the BG with the sledgehammer etc while they all cheer,gloat and generally have a great time smashing the crap out of it... it honestly made my blood boil.. i absolutely detest this lot

Yep $100 projects offered to some regulars would have made a few buyers happy and these clowns would have had a bit of good will as well as the opportunity to make a bit more on the machines if the buyers were to buy some of the parts from them to get the machines up and going again.

Hey Loui,

Dispatch some boys to no 7 Wanker Street, USA Town, we have some wackjobs busting up pinball machines !

Do the same to them Loui, they get the same treatment they gave the pinball machines !

So we should take some hammers boss ?
