Pinball dealers use this all the time in the hope they attract a newbie to an overpriced machine. The same machines appear on eBay, and what dealer's don't recognize is the fact that relisting a pinball machine for months on end suggests that the dealer cannot move machines. So it has been a great idea to list machines as advertising, but you need to change the titles around, otherwise more questions are raised. I list one game every 2 years, and I get a LOT of work from just the one listing.

I don't accept Paypal as a payment method unless the buyer pays all the fees. Messy situation that no one wants to get involved with.

We need to start a Top 10 of most repeat listing machines on ebay (particularly ones that have allegedly "sold").  :lol

That playfield overlay Kiss has to be in there somewhere....

I think the "best KISS in world" could be any one of several relistings. My favorite is the "best KISS ever" where it is stated it is not an overlay, but a repro playfield, but the photos are of the overlay. These eBay listings were a classic case of people intentionally not buying the game because of the claims that several were sold, yet no feedback to back up the "sales".

There was a old woodrail "Spottem" - that did the rounds for at least a year.
