[ajlaird]

[Steevsee]

The questions and answers are a crack up.

[Olivia_jason]

who ever is bidding at 33k would never pay that sort of money, they must be prank bids?

[ajlaird]

Yes, the bids stopped being real a long time ago.

[swinks]

one more cent and it's yours for $1,000,000..........??????

[Olivia_jason]

If that was my pinny for sale. id be trying my hardest to get the cash out of the winner to teach him a leason. his description is correct they have no possible reason to bow out of that transaction lol. sort of bad they are targeting his item with bogus bids, the posts are funny but the bogus bids isnt good, sort of makes a mockery of auctions.

[ajlaird]

Tends to happen when this sort of attention is attracted.

Hi All,
This was my auction so I thought I would explain.

What started off as a serious attempt by me to sell this crappy Cue Ball Wizard (Moroccan Special) machine turned into a good laugh between ebayers.

It all changed once I got my first funny question so I responsed with a funny answer but accidently made it public.

Then others jumped on board and posted more funny questions so at this point I realized I was going to have some fun with this.

I cant believe the massive response I got via emails, SMS, phone calls from people I know and and dont know - everybody was having a good laugh and enjoying the humour.

Ive had over 100 watchers, 1600 page views and a huge backlog of questions (30+ more) I cant post up anymore, must have reached the maximum limit on ebay per auction - bummer because the questions just got funnier.

Then the bids went crazy and that generated more calls, SMS and emails.

Anyway, its time to end the auction - and yes its really is sold pending payment (and not to the king of Morocco).

The buyer is an artist and metal work guy who has plans to redesign/rebrand it to a Jack Daniels pins (but it will always be known as the Moroccan Special to us all).

I hope you guys had a laugh as I did - pinball is all too serious at times - we need to laugh more.

Cheers
John.

Tales of the Morrocan Nights
Cactus Camel

Thanks for the clarification!

Any chance of an 8 Camel Deluxe in the future?

I guess with all that attention it was good that at least one serious buyer was found.

[poodlebob]

cant wait for no good goats. hope it comes with a scratch and sniff translite.

[Steevsee]

Thanks judgeboz.

I hadn't laughed so much for a long time.

[tonyt]

Thanks for the laugh John, pinball can get too serious sometimes.
