Williams Getaway e-Bay
« on: June 06, 2014, 11:26:56 AM »
This Getaway up on eBay with a badly worn playfield.
Looks like it had a crook ball for a long time to cause that ware.

Appallingly over-priced with that sort of wear.

The sad thing is that some newbie will probably buy it.
I'm not cranky, I just want MORE pins!

That guy prices his pins on the title not the condition, especially the ones he tries to offload on ebay.. There is very little difference in price between a good condition machine and a poor one of the same title.

The sad thing is that some newbie will probably buy it.

.. and then the newbie needs the game fixed - and then finds out it needs to be reconditioned properly or restored. Keeps me VERY busy these days.

The standards have dropped significantly.
