??? HUO Fishtales - How high will it go?

[Steevsee]

Lots of interest in this Fishtales on Feebay.

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/FISHTALES-PINBALL-MACHINE-MINT-LIKE-NEW-NO-RESERVE-/200603231535?pt=AU_CoinOp&hash=item2eb4e2652f

Already over 3 grand and still eight days to go.

I THINK IT IS BULLSHIT. ITS NOT HUO in my opinion. not even close. *How can it be home use only when it is fitted with "Pay Attendant" and "X games for X costs" on the scorecards.
 So, it has been onsite, and probably redecalled etc. Hope its not a members machine, but when someone makes big claims, they are open to scrutiny. That machine is nowhere near MINT, not even close. Rusty legs, paint faded cabinet hinges dont come on near new, mint machines.    And they have sold hundreds of machines, so its a dealer with a HUO machine.  

picture 5 shows the non home use only scorecards. if it sounds too good to be true, its too good to be true.

p.s- its worth $2000 for a fishtales in everyday condition. Its not worth anymore than $2500.

Also, the factory fishing rod shooter handle comes factory in black. The paint on that one is all worn off. So has it had 10,000 games at home has it ?

plus there is paint worn off the surround on the left coin slot. so quite a few coins have gone into it.

You might be right there Brett.

Just noticed a couple of "not as described" feedbacks for this seller as well.

One seller to avoid.

Speaking from a bad experience a LONG time ago, sells junk.

Shill, shill, shill.

Take this advice. Caveat emptor.

Brett & Andrew are also on the money. Not HUO.

I've been burn't by this seller many posts on AP about him beware

I've bought once off this guy, wasn't too bad an experience but there was shill bidding so I paid more than I should have (did not realize till later after the purchase).

Check out his other items for sale, seems the same person/people want ALL his Ebay machines at the same time, and it happens EVERYTIME he puts machines on Ebay

someone shld report the scumbag to ebay. shill bidding is just for dishonest cowardly people.  the funny thing is they r too stupid and dont realise every man n his dog can see the same bidders accross all the machines.

I found out a good mate of mine bought a machine off this guy 12 months ago and got cheated bad. People like this guy are a disgrace to the pinball industry.

Hes a lucky man he never conned me. I would have to pretend he was Osama Bin Laden.

Years ago I listed an Atari "Le Mans" that I restored. I had two bids fro two different bidders. The first bid was from one of their eBay accounts (but I didn't know at that stage). The next was the winning bidder - a really nice Video collector in Tullamarine. He won the item and took it later that week.

Three days later, a message appears from a "Jimmy" - who was disappointed his INITIAL bid was not highter. But it was not the same eBay name. He bidded under one eBay account and messaged me under a different eBay account, but he was the same person.
