Quoted from sylvain
Now at $237.50 USD for a non-working, non-collectable EM,
with shill bidding, stolen pics, and evasive answers.

Wow... Why is *anyone* bidding on this ?


... Because they're probably not on MAACA !  

What I'm surprised about is that this auction is still active.

I feel like doing a clever trick I've seen a few times,
in that you create an account name with  "THIS_AUCTION_IS_SCAM"
and then bid $10,000.

Although, now that the bidder names are hidden, that trick doesn't work anymore...

Should be fun to see how this ends.

I wonder if this seller is stupid enough to REALLY bid on her own auction... you know, the name of the buyer shows at the end of the auction... it would be hilarious to see her name as the seller AND the winner!!!


Retiring soon...

It's obvious bidder 6 is her (or a friend).  2 HIGH bids within 15 minutes, both retracted.  She was checking how high the previous bidder had gone..  B--CH.

I have pics!  

Also she's basing her pricing on the pinrescue machine (which she stole the pic from) as they sold it for $2195  

The backglass is VERY nice, the playfield has the usual wear on top (saucer)... I woudl post them here, but they are too big.

supposedly she doesn't care how much it sells for, but I also think that there's major shill bidding....

well another way is to put a really high bid and wait till there is 12hours and 3minutes.  then retract that bid.  if the seller bump the price up then there is a good chance they would be the next bid under.  if 12hours or less is on a auction, you can't retract the bid

I wish I could get $3700 out of a minor electrical repair job. $800 not working with easily fixed issues and $4500 working.

I think I am going to give up my day job and become a full time pin monkey.

Doesn't seem like there is much else going on in the pinball world for this one SCAM auction to get so much attention.


It has been scientifically proven that light is faster than sound. That is why some people seem brilliant........until they open their mouth!

I agree. Has anyone bothered to notify eBay? Or is the bi*ching just being leveled here   I agree it sucks, but how about being proactive?
