Instant collection - Ebay US
« on: November 20, 2012, 12:16:13 AM »
Six new games in the one sale. Some nice titles in there. I wonder if the seller will get any genuine offers close to the asking price...

If the collection was in Australia, and that much money was being asked, we would be using the famous line from "The Castle"...

Personally, I reckon the ebay sale is a load of BS...if they were all BNIB, they would be in boxes, unopened, untouched...and $46,000 for 6 machines equates to almost $7,700 each....far too much...and how do brand new machines end up having brand new Stern/Williams boxes laying around in lousy, less than perfect condition...cause the machines are probably home use n been played n the boxes havent been stored well at all.

There are too any of these so called brand new never used machines popping up when someone needs money in the USA when the economy is crap..a sucker born everyday..and why would u take 6 machines out of boxes, leave them set up n never play them ?...and what, the Star Trek Next Gen has been opened since 1993 and never played....yeh right....  &^&   not to mention the others for years n years....

Well for a start he would have had to take them from their box to remove battery's to avoid corrosion

Why didnt he simply put them straight back into the brand new original boxes straight after removing the batteries from the boards ? but he magically decides that he couldnt be bothered putting them back into the brand new boxes, and leaves them out of the boxes, allowing them to get dust on them/sunlight etc .why ?...doesnt make sense does it....unless u were going to play them/turn them on/show people etc etc...new n never used is not having machines out of boxes for long periods is it....how does he explain battery computer board damages to the Southpark machine and various cabinet damages...doesnt sound brand new at all does it.....remembering, they were taken out of boxes to remove batteries to start with !

AND why remove the 2 x stern machines (POTC and Transformers) when the batteries werent removed anyway !...and the machines werent required to be removed...but are still out of the boxes...

** also, his original ebay deskription at the top of the listing says
quote " Item specifics  Condition:  New: A brand-new, unused, unopened, undamaged item (including handmade items).
Pinball boxes clearly states damage, southpark machine says various cabinet and board damage...and re other machines, everything has been opened...thats why it wasnt hard to come to the conclusion the listing sounded like total BS....not to mention at least half of the machines were half the price when brand new anyway and minty low usage games can be picked up in the USA for half of the almost $50 grand asking price for the lot...

and I nave never seen anyone ever selling BNIB machines (kept this way meaningly for investment) ever take them out of the boxes until someone serious with $$ in hand turns up to inspect them closely with an agreement on price before the boxes get opened...

Even if a buyer was crazy enough to believe his every word, its a story with more holes than swiss cheese and a poorly set out n worded contradictory way to list what he supposedly has...lets see if its still listed n unsold in 2 years.
