Backglass looks good (which is a rarity for this game).

...No couriers...

...Priced for a quick sale as we are moving.... $1500.

With no interstate bids... $1500 isnt priced for a quick sale.... $1000 - possible $1200 will see this sell quickly

This one is a few kms away from me, is it any good to play?, and I did think $1500 was a bit rich and is it standard for this game to have the banana flippers?

I agree with Gav re the pricing.

Half the games shipped with banana flippers. I've tried both, and went back to the BFs because they are zany and make for stupid ball speeds!! Makes it different to other games of the era.

Pretty fun to play, lots of drop targets well placed to make shots risky (to inlane ball drains), and the right special shot is terrific fun to make. Easy to get big scores by concentrating on bonus and regularly collecting during your ball. Because of that it was a favorite of ours back in the wagging school days - we'd be able to get an afternoon out of 20 cents back then, three games on score and three on high score would set us up for the afternoon!! I like mine, mostly for its nostalgic value.

I've got some good memories of Time Warp in my youth as well. Only played the BF type and it was a favorite. From the pics the BG does look good, if it was close by I would be very tempted, a year ago $1500 would have been
snapped up, I agree it's close to top dollar in today's market, but if the pics are accurate on condition then I reckon $1500 is ok for a tidy example of this game.

Cheers
Dave
