Gee this seller is suspect....he just sold this: http://cgi.ebay.com.au/LINE-DRIVE-By-Williams-1972-Project-Pinball-Machine_W0QQitemZ180414651828QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_15?hash=item2a018d1db4&_trksid=p3911.c0.m14

Was really keen until I looked carefully at the first photo - the backglass is SMASHED....any mention of this in the auction listing?

No....just this lame line: backglass/boards but in need of some TLC.....um yeah sure does...like a new backglass!

So speaking with a member here during the back end of last week he tells me he won this auction and payed for it...so I ask him if he knew the backglass was smashed....um no 

Would NOT deal with the guy....EVER

I think they sold the bowling game currently listed recently aswell if i get there and its shit ill just leave em there.   These guys can usually sell pins for massive amounts so these cheapies always make me wonder

Totally agree Tony,i have held back about making a comment about this seller until now but if he is still spinning bullshit i will have my say now.A friend purchased a machine from this grub that was QUOTE,AS NEW ,MACHINE WORKING 100% what a load of crap.Machine arrived turned on played 1 ball thats all folks.A well known tech up here checked machine over,there are issues everywhere to keep it short a total of  5 stuffed coils,dodgey wiring,numerous blown globes,flipper issues and more but i think you get the picture by now.When contacted seller gives him the brush off but finally puts him onto his tech,what a joke could not give him an answer as to how it was sent in this condition.This same tech also advised him that the machine which was set on coin play could not be changed to free play.Our tech was disgusted in the condition of this machine and wanted to write out an invoice for all the repairs which the seller should have paid for.But the buyer did not want to go through with it as he would not even talk to him again.After the original conversation with the seller he never rang back to find out what was wrong with machine.I know my comments are full on but this guy was a first time buyer and he was screwed by this wanker.I am after another machine now and the titles i am interested in are hard to find,but i can tell you this if he had them I WOULD NOT GIVE HIM MY MONEY.

I got a DR Who of this seller a couple of years back. To keep it short, I will not be dealling with him again either. Besides the dodgy/misleading description, he is a pig of an excuse of a man to deal with and talk to.
My 2 cents worth.

[Extra Ball]

wow

[Caveoftreasures]

I have dealt with Rob from Bikecity Warehouse (the owner) and his tech (pinballjoe) and I have always found both men to be completely honest and full of integrity. I have never had a problem with either, so i was surprised to read these comments.

I wanted to purchase a pin from Mark C and he didnt have it at the time and Mark suggested I ring Rob from Bikecity and Mark advised me at that time-9 months ago, that he reccommended the guy no problems.To my knowledge, I have heard nothing different.

I believe, that if a purchaser has a problem with a seller, he should contact him directly and deal with it face to face or over the phone until a mutual outcome is worked out for both parties.
I do know, that Rob from Bikecity would be HORRIFIED to read these comments.
Hearing someone bag this guy is like hearing someone bag Mark C, its not good. It just doesnt sit right.I am not saying someone hasnt had a problem with him, and I am not defending any action that may or may not have occurred, but these posts sound like I am on the OTHER forum.
I say ring Rob from Bikecity, I am sure he will work something out.

I am glad guys are given the opportunity to share their experiences on this forum. It wouldnt matter who the trader was, if the issues cant be solved privately then letting others know seems reasonable and fair.

[big dog]

Well I'll see what he does about the broken backglass,it was a shock to me as the backglass and the playfield are the 2 main things on a em/pinball.I myself if selling would let it be known if these had a major fault,to me this is right.If I sold a car and the motor was broke I would say so.So give the man a chance,let him hear my side of the story,and I'm hoping he will look after me.I have delt with pinball joe before with the flyers and find him most helpfull.cheers guys I'm crossing my fingers

[ddstoys]

Good luck Cam
                     Will be a great machine to add to the collection

Is a good pitch and bat machine - i emailed seller right at start to verify some questions

1 i see broken BG and plastics - is there anything else missing apart from the bat which also appears not to be present.

My other concern was that the sound board ( is really a static sound for crowd noise) maybe missing.

I cant answer these questions - i never got a reply and so i didnt bid
