    My one and only Ebay pin purchase was an AP. Bought it at a very favorable price. So nice was the price that even with NAVL from Arizona to Alabama it was at or below market value. It was not a "bait and switch" but the game was very far from the 100%, shopped, etc. garbage that most Ebay ads state. I spent almost 2 months getting everything working. I had a long and hard time locating a replacement Dr. Evil. You see, I was somewhat of a newbie and did not realize that in all of the pictures, Dr. Evil was below the playfield and not visible.

    In the end I was able to sell it for slightly less than I had in it, but vowed never to buy a pin on Ebay again.
