Prodos8 Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 I'm e-mailing him for more pics before I bid. I understand taking the same shot more than once, but aren't you supposed to pick the BEST ONE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinball22 Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Wow, that's some pics. And it looks like there are only two that actually are taken of the exact same place... all the others really are different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homerwannabee Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Personally I think this type of auction is a great thing. Much rather have too many pictures than too have to few. Is it overkill? Probably, but I am sure those bidding don't mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kripto Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 That machine is hilarious! It's kind of freakish how the use of a billiard ball changes the physics up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Personally I think this type of auction is a great thing. Much rather have too many pictures than too have to few. Is it overkill? Probably, but I am sure those bidding don't mind. I agree, I'd much rather have too many pictures than not enough. Many people interested in machines like this will want to know where every nick and scratch is, so best to just post all those pictures up front rather than asking people to request photos. I've run auctions like this in a similar manner for high dollar items. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigO Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 He does a good job showing the condition of the playfield. If he was local, I'd bid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinball22 Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Yes, more pictures is always better than fewer... don't want any surprises on a big (in this case, gigantic) item. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artlover Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 I've never seen one of these before. Guess this game is only for big manly men that stand 7 feet tall and can pick up a sheet of plywood length wise. Kids & midgets are out of luck unless they each bring in a stool or step ladder and play in pairs. But seriously, that's crazy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPUWIZ Posted April 21, 2009 Author Share Posted April 21, 2009 That makes me feel really old, since I played that when I was kid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phaxda Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 I do not accept paypal, I do accept personal checks (held until cleared) or cash at pickup. Because ebay forces me to accept at least one credit card as a payment option, I will also accept Discover Card. I do not accept paypal.

HFK Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 I have always wanted one of them. My dad used to teach at college in the 70's and they had one of these in the rec area. The machine is just huge, spent lots of time playing it. If anyone hears of one in Florida let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy Climber Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 I've seen these before but never working. Kind of cool to see the thing in action. Would be nice to bring to shows but just not practical for home use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parrothead Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Crap, that listing must have cost a fortune Cool game though. Funny lots of the pics basically show the same thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zwackery Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 (edited) Crap, that listing must have cost a fortune Because of Turbo Lister? I put as many pics as I want in my auctions, I just put the photos up somewhere on the web and then put the IMG SRC codes into the auction HTML. Doesn't cost me a thing.

AB Positive Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 He does a good job showing the condition of the playfield. If he was local, I'd bid. I wish I had more money. He *IS* local to me... about 20 min. away from here. Damn. I hate being poor, heh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
