Playfields on Ebay from Bike City
« on: September 28, 2009, 12:31:31 AM »
Has anyone spotted these yet ?

Several playfields on offer from Bike City Warehouse.

Galaxy looks ok and a few others that you dont see everyday.

Might be handy for a few of us doing restores at the moment, and may be better than whats currently in your "restoration project".

When you change IDs on eBay you retain your feedback so something is a bit weird???

They may not be changing. They may have started a new business within an existing and have registered a seperate ebay user ID. I would think that they may have been part of Bike City Warehouse and are now branching out due to more items and workload  !@# !@#

They used to trade under 'hollywood entertainment' or 'bike city warehouse', I can't remember now. They have added a new ID as just the pinball warehouse.

Was watching these on Ebay - FIREPOWER and VIKING didnt sell at $69 or so - i emailed seller to make after auction purchase of maybe $50ea and it seems they are going off the floor at $100ea.... well if they are selling off the floor at $100ea then why have them at $69 on Ebay? i hear you ask.... er... asking myself the same!

I want ANY completely stripped F's for restoration and then CC - these will then be offered as completely restored PF's  at next expo..... i missed end of last auction due to having too much fun... will be keeping a closer eye on the rest

No surprises there from our past experiences with this fella hey Gav?  #@#

And a different one tomorrow  :lol

If I had known they had a Viking PF I would have bid on it. I'm sure it would be better than the one on my Viking. 
If they had Pinball on the listing then it would have come up when I search Ebay.

Nino, how is the PF on your new Viking? Its ok isn't it?

Mines perfect - no wear at all. Really awesome condition. The BG is also perfect. The cabinet is faded on one side - so I want to repaint it "down the track". Still, if there was no interest in the eBay PF, I would have bid on it.

Did the auction get pulled ?

yeh someone must have walked into the factory and offered $100 off the floor... my guess is that there would have been a few people watching these though... but end result is auction pulled.
