Awesome, why can't that be in Victoria.... hehehehe.

Looks like fun, not sure for how long though, still, it'd be a unique piece in collection.....

It'll be interesting to see how high the $$ goes on it, i doubt anyone will win it for $10.50 hehehehe.

I remember playing the game as a kid with my brother - we loved it back then. Would make a great addition to the games room, but i just dont have the room - these things are quite big!

At least they have started it off low enough. Will be interesting to see the end price on this one - any guesses? I would have no idea.

Wouldn't be surprised if it sells for around $1500, even more

I guess this is one of those things that you're not actively seeking but need to have the room & the cash lying around to grab it.
I don't know if it will go that high but I'll take a stab at ~$750 :)

I agree with Tony  - $1500 maybe higher if someone really wants it

They come up every two to three years and there is always keen interest

The Whirly Bird that sold recently went for $1100 from memory which is lower than id expect. I can gurantee that the seller would be hoping for $2000 on this, but prices seem to be down at the moment and id hazard a guess at $1250

One sold at an auction by Amusementworx in Adelaide around 10 years ago. Sold for about 2.5k.

I think it was the one from the Glenelg sideshows. Used to love playing it there. They closed and sold off everything as recently as about 12 years ago.

Bidding is definitely down at the moment, because I recently offloaded a bunch of vintage musical instruments on fleaBay that in better economical times would have received much higher prices.  It seems there are tonnes of watchers (especially for vintage items) but nowhere near as many of them bidding which kind of sets you up with false hopes.  Still battling with one winning bidder who's gone MIA on me.

Yeah Bwodie I've seen this one too & it does look great. 
I remember playing one like it when I was a kid on holidays at Port Macquarie.
Would be a great to own.
