Did anyone here inspect the machine?  That backglass does not look right at all.  Almost looks like had been printed with dot-matrix colour printer.

And what is that square in the middle?  Not on the one from IPDB?  Colours look way out too.  Maybe the flash / dust caused it?  Hmm...

It was few hundred over-priced in the end. These are becoming more sought-after though, and I wasnt surprised that it made over 1500.

Gee somebody is going to be pissed off paying nearly 2K for that. As mentioned that isn't a backglass. You can see where the bulbs are behind the 'paper/plastic'

don't you love the way that a lot of pins on ebay have the most shocking photos? !@#
you would think that most people who can afford 1k and up for a pin could afford a couple of hundred bucks for a good camera? or even borrow a good one.
besides they would probably get more for it with good pics.
what are trying to hide?
do they run there photos through photo shop and use the blurr feature?
i know when it comes time to sell one or two of my pins that i will be using the best and clearest photos that i can.
i don't know, maybe im to honest or i just have nothing to hide.
i just went and had a look at some cars on ebay for just over a grand and even these cheep cars have better pictures than a lot of pins on ebay.

I wouldnt be sure that BG is a translite or something. Very hard to find FP BGs in good condition, most I have seen are pretty much flogged.

no i'm not refering to mark.c's pins at all, marks pics aren't to bad at all. and if you ask mark for close up picks he gives them to you.
im talking about these other sellers who take pics from a distance or there are no decent pics of the p/f. if there is a defect on marks pins he tells you.
when mark sent me pics of the last pin i bought off him he was very honest about them, even the names on the pics explained the condition.
so if i made you think i was refering to markc i appologise.
