2 years ago I got a Ripley's from him at a reasonable price. It only needed cleaning and rebuilding the flippers. I was pretty lucky. The other 8 or so machines that friends of mine bought were worse than described or a total rip off. Well, kinda - his prices were a lot lower then.

Now he asks for near collector's machines prices. For machines that were never ever serviced in any way. If you're looking for 100% original state - incl. rubbers, sandpaper like balls from the 90s - for way too much... Well

Also, the machine might miss some boards, which he describes in his list as 'maybe a fuse... Any stupidity...' And so on...

I was lucky...

...wow, that's a lot worse than two years ago, plus he doubled the prices.
