Please contact me via Pinside if you are interested to buy this IJ .
42 actual pictures of the machine can be viewed in the description of the auction.
Easy to see them on Ebay scrolling the description.
Details of the condition of the machine are also listed there.

I'm attaching a second set of pictures for those of you that don't like Ebay.
My asking price listed in the auction ($5250.00) for this IJ can be reduced to 5K for a deal out of ebay. Cost of shipping is not included in this price.
For PILOT terminal to terminal I charge $245.00 to the West Coast or $295.00 to the East Coast. A wood crate will be used to protect the machine during transit of shipping.
I can accept payments with Paypal if the buyer pay the fees related with the transaction.

Quoted from MAJRob:The listing ended on EBay...is this pin spoken for?
Must be - someone bought it through Ebay.
Quoted from MAJRob:Ouch...that's a lot of fees
Yeah but he still end up getting more money on Ebay than selling it for his price of $5k here. Not much, but a little. Without doing the exact math, guessing the Ebay fees for this were about $150 or so.

Quoted from Lermods:250 for eBay, 150 more for PayPal.
So eBay fees are less than 5% ? When did this happen ? Thought they were more like 9%.
Quoted from schmoo:So eBay fees are less than 5% ? When did this happen ? Thought they were more like 9%.
The fees get less the higher the cost of the item. For this item, the fee is around $70 for the first $1,000, and 2% on the rest.
Quoted from kwiKimart:It's on eBay? Dealbreaker.
I'm curious why is that? Does it make it less valuable cause of where its sold? Would it be ok if it was sold on Craigslist for $5300? Pretty sure as a buyer you have much more protection buying off eBay and paying through PayPal. The sellers usually are at more of a disadvantage financially when selling through eBay.
Good luck on the sale. IJ always rounds out a collection.

I've been screwed on eBay multiple times.
Quoted from kwiKimart:I've been screwed on eBay multiple times.
How did you get screwed as a buyer? There are so many protections that I thought it was virtually impossible for a buyer to get screwed as you can always get your money back.

Its unfortunate that you had a bad experience but i've had a couple bad ones from Mr. Pinball and other non eBay places. There are bad sellers all over. eBay is no worse a place to buy from as compared to CL or Mr. Pinball. At least eBay has feedback that can at least give you some kind of background about a sellers integrity.
Quoted from GimpMaster:I was looking at this pin he had here. I was wondering what you guys thought of the price? This pin was local for me but I wasn't quite ready to pull the trigger.
Seems like a pretty fair price for a nice IJ.

I think you missed out for $5K, and a local game on top of that.

Disagree - on Ebay, if anything is wrong within 30-45 days, you can file a dispute and guarantee that you get your money back (minus shipping - if shipping was paid for). CL and MP don't offer that sort of protection. It used to be, years ago, that as a buyer if you filed a dispute and won, that the seller also had to have Paypal funds for you to get your money back. That's changed - Ebay now gives your money back no matter what - even if they cannot initially get it from the seller.

Huh? You disagree but then go on to say how eBay is safer then CL's or Mr. Pinball? Pretty sure that's the point I was making. 
Somebody missed out on a sweet looking IJ!

Yeah I misread your post to say that buying on Ebay is the same as buying on CL and Mr. P, versus Ebay being actually a better place. Sorry about that.
