I hate when the pics are so blatantly taken in a pawn shop. The slat wall with a guitar hanging on it under that ugly painting is a dead giveaway plus the tag on the shooter lever.

It is however a very cool looking machine that I would love to have

Thanks for adding the pics, Stuey. I was having issues getting them to download from eBay.

Thanks for adding the pics, Stuey.

I was going to do it but I felt rather lazy last night.

He was originally asking $250 for that machine BIN. He only had a couple pictures of the front. I wrote to him and said you should show the back and he pulled the ad and when he re posted it he started bidding at $149 and added a lot more pictures. It is a nice machine but I wouldn't pay that amount especially when you add in shipping.

This listing was ended by the seller because the item is no longer available.

It already had a bid, but I guess they sold it locally or something??

I have lost several auctions that way, where the auction ends before bidding has completed. It should be against the rules to do that. Frustrating!!

I think that he wanted so much more on the BIN price that he was disappointed with lack of bidding activity and pulled it. IMO, if he started with a low price...it would have got action from several bidders. Most of whom wouldn't want it to get away after making an "investment" of bidding on it. Could have got his BIN price if 2 people wanted it bad enough. Instead...people like us put it on our watch list, just to see what happens.
