    Default I hate ebay!

    O' ebay you evil temptress.
    I had promised myself that Cutie Honey was my last machine.
    At least until after Xmas.
    But i had to have a look on ebay, Just incase.
    Well you never know what you might find.
    That was it, I saw it and i pressed the button.
    I am now the proud owner New Sea Story.
    As if thats not bad enough, I phone the guy up to sort things out, And he tells me he has a old vintage machine for sale.
    Well what would you do?
    I have been with my wife for 32 years, And it was great while it lasted.
    Suppose i better go down stairs and tell her
    If i dont post anything else between now and Xmas, Call the Police

    just tell her how rare vintage pachinkos are in the UK

    if you ever want to sell I'm sure Angie would be a possible buyer

    well Derek, it looks like you have some tough decisions ahead of you..

    but its obvious that you have to choose between one of the two vintages...

    Well Derek, here's my strategy. Wrap it up and put it under the tree for your wife. How romantic

    Thats the problem Ang i havent bought the vintage YET, Its the Sea Story she don't know about, The vinatge just makes things worse
    I have the guy's phone number, He's in Manchester and it's in a pine case thats all i know apart from his asking price is 150 GBP and he is in a rush to shift his machines
    so i would say this price is not set

    Hmmmm £150 is quite a high price by US standards, but I think I paid about £100 GBP for my vintage and was happy to do so, as i obtained lots and lots of pics before hand that just MADE me want to buy it!!

    I wonder what brand / model this one is, and most importantly, the condition??
