$2,700

damn good price I thought, but I thought he and his son wanted it for themselves, not just to flip it

You should offer him $500 less yourself, tell him you heard it had issues with lights and the bottom speaker and that's all it's worth now.   

[Pintoxicated]

That's the plan.  Time for payback.

He agrees on a price then beats you down again, now wants to make a profit off it. 
Wouldn't be surprised if he asked if you could come over and polish it for him before he sells

Put the gumtree link in here so we can all call him up and offer him $500 less

It was weird, I can only assume he saw the thread here as he contacted me to tell me he wasn't trying to make money and just had to sell it, for some reason.. then a few days later the listing was gone!

Well at least he gave proper attribution to all the work done.

Scariest thing about that advert is he is considering buying a kiss machine.
Ewwwww.

Yeah and he emailed me too... so feel much better about it all this time around.. He didn't mention a few of the restoration items but covered most of it I guess..

He mentioned to me he had to have the right flipper coil replaced due to the flipper having intermittent problems... not sure why?? My guess is a "Melbourne in Home Repairer" did it and was probably just a cracked solder but wanted to charge him some extra?

The buyer did agree "to not call you anymore", so when he calls agin, keep reminding him of that.......
So, when he calls from now on (he will), kindly advise him there's a charge for tech support from now on, $10 per question, or $50 per 30min call, and must be cleared in paypal before you can answer his questions....he wont call back.

I could tell you some other ideas here, or i might just call you lol 

I've done similar to this before, it works quite well. Mention money and they crap themselves.

[dealers choice]

Lol i like the idea of everyone offering$500 under his asking price. Have any of tou done it yet?
