What has this guy done to be considered dodgy? (If you don't mind me asking).

Not a good sign when such claims are made in item descriptions.

This is my favorite quote

THIS SEA WITCH pinball machine is one of a few games we are auctioning on behalf of a long standing customer who is relocating to a unit at the Sunshine Coast.  !!@ !!@

That's BS  !*! !*!

Seawitch is a great machine, so don't be put off buying it at the right price, particularly if you are a fan of drop targets.  Looking at that machine the right price is probably between $1000-1200. 

Would be well worth a look in person if you are considering buying - pay particular attention to whether there are hacks to the power supply and the condition of the backglass.

cheers

I have a similar problem with my visa card. Lots of my purchases have signatures that look like my wife's than mine.  @@*

I had an OK experience with this seller, then a bad one, then he made the bad one a little better with some follow up after my pestering (I think I might have mentioned what I did for a living though to get things sorted). Best advice has already been given - view in person, pay and take if OK.

As for the pricing claims - par for the course with this seller, been doing the 50% to 100% over what they are really worth claim since I can remember.
