Just been looking on ebay for any good deals on machines near me, been wanting to buy this one for quite sometime but everytime i seen one its either too expensive or miles away!

Just wanted your thoughts as to how much i should bid up to for this?

Im thinking £100 - £150 would be a pretty good deal...

seen a few of his machines now - all are buyer collects

[richy1976]

These normally go for around £275

[nick_uk_911]

Yeah i thought £250 - £300 was about right, well 10 hours of the auction left, if its below £125 when i check tomorrow morning i think i'll put a sneekly last minute bid! My only concern is i don't own a van, i have a Pug 406, even with the back seats down and after doing some measurments i'm not 100% sure it's going to fit! Anyone on here have any experience of lobbing around a fruity in a car. do you guys think it i will manage to fit in in a 406? Any help would be ideal!

[richy1976]

Still less than £100, 45 min left the early bird catches the worm if your quick.

Im keeping a beady eye on it ! But after folding down the seats in the 406 i dont think its going to phisically fit

The space/height from the boot into the seating area is very low in 406's so i'm a bit pissed

I'd say just under £150.

[richy1976]

put it in top end 1st, get the bungies on it & get a passenger to hold it, use some towels or pillows or something to protect it.

Looks like its going to go quite cheap cos its early.

Lol, was looking at these myself, this ones too far, if its cheap enough would still be worth getting it pallet delivered for around 65, machines worth £200 easy (the ones ive seen sell on ebay).

you could prob get it delivered cheaper than that around 25 as your not that far

[POSH4EVA]

went for £114

[richy1976]

Did you get it, i would of carried it home on my back for that price lol.

Mee too although North wales from there is a bit too far

[nick_uk_911]

£114 in the end... didnt bid in the end, shame would have been a bargain! I have a friend with a transit but unfortunatly he's up in Bristol at the moment, if he was down i definitely would have bid and put £140-150 as my maximum price

Sellers daft though, if he would of made it finish later on he prob would of doubled that.

[richy1976]

Should of just got man with a van out the paper, he would of done it for £30 & you could of gone with him to get it.

yeah ive missed a good opportunity i know, ive only ever owned 1 machine that was a Barcrest Revolution which i paid £60 from the local arcade when they closed down. Nevermind i'll keep an eye out something else will turn up!

[richy1976]

I want an old bwb video fruit redhot poker mainly but would have a monte carlo or bust, very rare though now.

I would pay pallet to get one lol.

Guitar emulate them quick lmao, guitar is going to have a go at getting them going in amber i think its on his list lol.

The arcade in our town used to have 2x Monte Carlo or Bust Machines, they were pretty good, £8 jackpot i think with some good repeats. That was about 3/4 years ago, i dont visit the arcades anymore because lets face it £100 lasts about 10 minutes unless your lucky

Agreed, you dont get a good game anymore on modern machines.
