Pistol Poker
Alvin G. & Co, 1993Well I have this game, with it's whopping 200 models built, and look parts! But it looks pretty rusted. Arrrrrrgggghhhh!!!!
I'd like to buy it, but I just can't bring myself to pull the trigger. Maybe if I didn't have to get it shipped. Just doesn't look good does it?
VT8, does it look bad? I didn't go to IPDB to compare but it doesn't look too bad to me. There does not seem to be too much wear on the PF. Is $70 a lot to pay for shipping? It seems that if the PF is something you need it might not be a bad deal. It is really too bad there isn't a better way to get it to you because that PF is just north of me and I will be up there in a few weeks. Any way, good luck and let us know what you decide.
It looks like it's definitely been exposed to a lot of moisture. I would ask to see if the seller can provide you with some higher resolution pics.
Just about anything is restorable. It's the negative feedback in such a short time that would stop me from dealing with that seller. Evey negative was about misrepresentation of the item for sale. That's not just a unsatisfiable customer!
I don't really need it, just the fact that the game is so rare, getting my hands on any parts might be a good idea. JWWhite, thanks for the offer, that's very generous of you, but I'm thinking it's not worth the trouble.
I think I need to ask for more pics, but the price also makes me think it's probably been yanked from a really wet game. Even that short ball return from the upper playfield to the left return lane looks rusty. Probably a good sign of the rest of the condition.
jrrdw - yeah he/she was being bashed for sending Harley Davidson clothing that stunk of body odor, that was advertised as never worn. That should have been a sign.
Quoted from jrrdw:It's the negative feedback in such a short time that would stop me from dealing with that seller. Evey negative was about misrepresentation of the item for sale.
I hadn't even noticed the feedback. Yeah, I'd avoid this seller like the plague. There is simply no excuse for that much negative feedback, and it's a clear sign that the seller has been less than honest on more than one occasion. Unless your current playfield is trashed, I'd skip this one.
I'd shy away from this seller. Read his answers. He puts all the blame on the buyer, stating they didn't understand his postings. Ofeere him $70 shipped.
Quoted from Brokedad:I have a couple rare backglasses I've collected but no playfields.
Got the seller to post pics of the back of the playfield. BD, I'm not really looking at collecting, just looks like a good number of parts for a rare game I got a good deal on. So it would be mostly for spare parts. (it does have a dog playing poker on it.)
My game is in so-so shape, but it's rarity doesn't really make it worth much because you can't find the parts...Although you'll see it occasionally for a high price. Figured having duplicate plastics and ramps might not be a bad idea for the price. Ehhhhhhhh........
