One of these "will be mine" - I hope, but which colour do think is best Black or Yellow?

[Sid]

Careful you dont get Gobsmacked...

[drcrippen324]

it has to be the yellow one you realy want the yellow honist...

[Sid]

its a tough call if you ask me.. i think it looks pretty good in either case...

[balls]

Black would be my choice.

[drcrippen324]

Shhhhhhhh he wants the yelow one (hint hint)

how many pachipoints to convince you the yellow one

[balls]

I wonder what the reserve price is???

[drcrippen324]

its gonna be about £200-£250 at least

[balls]

This is gonna be an interesting auction to watch. I'm impressed that Steve has managed to bring in such a new machine. I wonder if he's ordered any Top Gun pachinkos?

[Sid]

Just going out on a limb here.. but i think the winning bid will be what sets the price for the Rocky's to come...

sort of a fishing excersise to see what the market will handle..

just my 2 cents..

[drcrippen324]

yeh you got a very valuble 3 cents there sid because that was done with cutie honey and fireworks too i can see the pattern emerging if it starts looking silly i gtta stop bidding anyway as my pockets arnt too deep at the moment

[Mike]

I'm with you Sid, seen that happen before. No one bid on it and we'll all be in for Buy It Now at £100!!

[balls]

How much did the Rocky machine go for in the end?

[drcrippen324]

the rocky machine went for £200 i think someone sniped a bargin there but a bit rich for my pockets

[Chris]

Was it a member, do we know?

[drcrippen324]

i dont think it was a member but i hope he will soon join us if you click the link at the top of the thread it will give you the final auction details

I am travelling up to Steve's tomorrow to have a look at the Rocky machines. I will let you know how they are looking when I get back, still not sure Yellow or Black for the casing. I think Dastooge's was Yellow from looking at the video.

[Chris]

Well I just wanted to share with eveyone that I have bought a Rocky pachinko & have Dastooge to blame (I mean thank) for that after he was good enough to post some video footage. I bought it from 777Heaven having travelled up to have a look at it the other day. I wasn't sure which case to go for but after seeing both at Steve's warehouse I decided on the Black. Both colour cases though looked really good & both machines I saw were in really good condition. I had a play on the one I bought for a good 15 minutes or so to check it out & loved the video & music from it. The machine was very clean & then they were good enough to box it all up for me as if they were posting it out to me (thick outer box, foam inside along with bubble & corrugated sheeting), as I am moving house in a couple of weeks & I will keep it boxed up until we have moved (although I want to be playing it now ).
I will post some more pictures of it & hopefully some video in a few weeks when we have moved & I have it set up, but all in all a really good machine & anyone in the UK looking for one I can recommend 777heaven. I believe he has 2 left at the moment (1 Black cabinet & 1 Yellow)
