I made a purchase from this auctioneer and it was working during the auction but ended abrutely. i was deemed the winner and had little time to examine the purchase signed off on it. broke it down for transport properly. put it back together in shop and it DOA. They Failed to state the machine broke in there possion and left me with having to fix it myself. BE CAREFUL WHEN DEALING WITH THESE PEOPLE! they blamed the fault on me and everything. They didn't want to get stuck with it.

***** bought a vintage, ***** year old pinball machine in one of our auctions. The machine was in need of restoration but was turning on when he came to pick it up. He then decided that he was going to disassemble the machine for transport. This is not something that you should do. We told him that he was going to put it in tilt mode and that we would help him load it in his truck fully assembled ( the correct way) He said that he was a bona fide expert in all things related to pinball machines and that he was going to take it apart to transport. So, he took it apart and loaded it up and then drove around until he got through working. He was in his work vehicle. Naturally, when he put it back together, it was in tilt mode and had possibly damaged one or more of the mercury switches that indicated that a tilt had occurred or msybe something else came loose. He is the expert, not us. I will also note that he did not come by to inspect before the auction as we advise all buyers to do. We sell all of the items as-is. This is discussed in the terms and conditions and must be acknowledged before being able to bid.
