Is ebay the best site to buy a fruit machine from or i there others what you people would recommend, from first time buyer

Welcome to Advance Leisure - Top quality pool tables and fruit machines is a good site.

But yeah ebay is your best bet, just double check it's not dodgy. If you have any arcades local to you, ask them, they might be able to sort you out with something.

I have had machines from stemik and vectra on ebay. No problems at all

I still don't trust ebay.... Buying something like a Fruity I would be worried that within 5 mins the thing would start playing up and I would be up the creek without a paddle.

[voodoomau5]

just check feedback, when i was looking for one to buy I would always click the nearest distance button so that then you can check the machine out before you buy it etc. Or know where the f***ers house is if he rips you off

Ebay can be a nasty place to buy/sell. that said, the operators listed like vectra/stemik etc. have provided a flawless service for many people, and, as an operator, i would reccomend them.

there is 1 or 2 operators i would not touch, but im not going to publicly slag them here.

I would have to agree with Nails. I have bought many machines over the years from eBay and never had any trouble. One bit of advice though - set a limit and don't go over it!! It's very easy to get carried away

Also, there are some dodgy sellers who have been known to get their $&%#y mates to bid the price of the auction up. These people are tossers!!! And some of them are operators too!!

thanks everyone for advice

[aaamusements]

Vectra is good, well recommended.
I bought an SWP off him as faulty, got it back and it worked! Mind you it was a maygay epoch, so nothing all that unusual there...
