You would be amazed at what people will buy or pay for convenience or lack of knowledge. I commend the seller as I am positive he has sold these kits...

I don't.
This is a reason some people hate the hobby. If everyone wasn't trying to make a buck or rip each other off we would have a lot more people liking pins. Makes me a little sad to see this and hear people "commending" them for ripping others off.
Sigh.
Quoted from ForceFlow:Hrmpf...not even my good stuff ever sells for those kinds of prices
Ohhhh you got the good stuff.
Quoted from MustangPaul:Ohhhh you got the good stuff.
lol
Better than dusty, used fuses at 1500% mark-up, anyway.
Quoted from guarda:They're silver.
Silver plated--that's why they're a bargain!
I find those ads pretty annoying however, people are lazy and they will buy them. I don't find him to be greedy, he is providing a product and a service at a premium price. If people can't look up what fuse values they have or don't want to purchase fuses at the store or in quantity online then this is a good solution. These are not the people that give the hobby a bad name. It's the people that sell something and don't stand behind what they sell or sell something significantly not as described.
Quoted from 27dnast:I'm guessing this seller has BSD flipper rubbers for $50?
I'm guessing someone would buy them.

That has been popping up for months. I even message the guy about it thinking he was just a clueless ebayer. Never got a response.
I live near St Kilda, Australia so if anyone wants me to inspect it before buying, I am happy to help.

The fuse seller is Rick Pittman, former eBay screen names gottliebguru and gamewizard61- and he ripped me off over 10 years ago and I'll never forget.

Is this even a pinball? What machine uses a 1.8 inch ball?

The person looks to sell anything they can. They don't know what its from they are just guessing.
I messaged the guy selling the pinball and informed him he is seriously undervaluing what he has. I told him it isn't a pinball...its a civil war musket ball.
