Like my pissing moped on ebay, 24 watchers and 1 stupid offer

That is also the annoying side of ebay - ppl who want something for nothing.

That does not surprise me - i get offered £10 or £20 at least once per day for machines - i would rather scrap them to parts that sell that low tbh.

The only way that you can legally sell a fruit machine, if you are not a licensed operator, is to have the £25 single machine license from the Gambling Commission.
This has now been the case for some time.
It does not make any difference within the law to say that the payouts/coin mech have been removed, nor does it matter if it's set to free play, or even broken. Within the law you still need the license.
According to sources, the Commission will be cracking down on Gumtree next...

It's official then, Gumtree have banned fruit machines unless you have the correct license or list it as non-functional...

No new listings for "Fruit Machine" for the last 10 days, so we can assume they are enforcing it...

i,d try facebook my partner used to sell stuff on ebay till the buyers ripped her off and there,s the charges on top. if you sell through one of many selling pages through facebook and have a paypal account ask buyer to pay it "gift" then you won,t have charges on paypal either ... p.s or try something like trade-it

Really Is A Shame Tbh But Issue Is ...Everyone Is Out To Claim On Someone Else ... Same With Company's - Hence Everything Once Simple Is Now Imposible

I Think As A Ebay User (No Permit Licence) You Should Be Able To List A Max Of 3 Machines Each Year- Saddly The World Dont Agree

Yep it certainly looks like it...

Last year I started to develop an alternative auction and sales site for fruit machines, arcade machines and anything else coin-op - it was slow at first but things are starting to gain some momentum now. Please do come and have a look, we give £50 free account credit to all new sign-ups.
Anything constructive criticism and suggestions are also very welcome, but please bear in mind that development is still ongoing and the edges may be somewhat rough!

Thanks
I will have a look, there should be an advanced search feature but not sure how good it is at the moment.
If it doesn't have this functionality, we will be looking at adding it asap.
