my experience with profighter seller on ebay! machine caught on fire?
i won this on ebay.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...:X:AAQ:US:1123 today the seller sends me this message. "Hello Toby, I have to tell you something. I turned on the pinball to make sure everything was fine before you got here and it burned up. I don't know what happened but it was terrible and everything has melted and burned. So I don't think you will want it that way. Sorry but I'm glad it happened before you bought it, then after you bought it. I don't want to sell anything that's not good. Good luck in your search and I'm sorry You did'nt get your machine. Take Care, Pete." i replied "No way serious! Pics or it didn't happen! What's left? I want thebackglass if possible, sometimes they stink when u turn en on but they can get fixed.." he called and left vmail, said he didnt know what i was talking about...... discuss

Classic case of:
1. Wanted auction to end at a higher amount and now I need a excuse not to sell it you. 2. Had someone else offer more money, and now I need a excuse not to sell it to you. Most likely with ebay its number one. They gambled on a low opening bid, and didn't get what they wanted so now they are trying to get out of the sale. And the excuse they gave you, sounds good, but you know its BS.

He didn't know what you were talking about? Are you sure he sent the message and not someone who wanted it but lost the bidding?
Call him and tell him you're coming anyway to see what he's talking about. Something happened similarly with Mattroid and myself. Mattroid bought a local game off of Ebay for $120 because he wanted the monitor. He didn't want the cab, so I made a deal to drive there and pay half ($60) and pull the monitor for him, then take the cab. Everything was supposedly working. The day we go there, we find out they tested it the night before and the isolation transformer burned up. Matt was afraid the monitor blew with it (it did) and I ended up buying the entire thing for $100. Replaced the iso and spent quite a bit of time figuring out the montior problems (finally fixed it)....

WoW.
I would call bullshit..
Call him out on it, If you were doing the deal in person then let him know you wanna pick over the remains and see it for your self before you will "let it go". sorry but I have trust issues and when it smells like bullshit, it usually is bullshit. Quote:

I'd ask for proof and if you get none then proceed with the feedback.
