Surely this has to be a scam of some kind?

[NickYerPesos]

I want one.. And I'm not sure it's a scam as its collect in person.. Cash on collection.. Unless they were planning on bonking you on the head when you get there.. I doubt it.

[mickjones]

is 7,500 a bit too much to pay for one of these machines?, unopened or not, its still 2nd hand.

Why doesnt this guy send it back to get a refund?, 1500 is a lot of dosh to lose.........

Unwanted present? Wish i got these kind of pressies.....that i didn't actually want!!!

[Bencrest]

Unwanted present... but they have a Gambling Commission license number (or claim to), and the machine is at their Leyland warehouse - only operator I can find out there is Monarch Coin Equipment? 

 

It does all seem a bit odd, I'd want more than a stock photo for £7500 and they've not even opened the box?! I would.

 

Then again, perhaps it's all genuine and above board.

 

[edit] The license number they provided is for Herondata (a reputable company based in Stockton on Tees). I smell BS from the seller - why would you normally only trade in £12 steps for Transit vans, they suddenly come across £9000 of brand new machine, and not even open the box?

Knock off.

[Johnnyafc]

never knew they came in a box lol

If its nicked the guys taking a big risk selling it on eBay as Barcrest is going to have noticed one of these going missing, they're only a few months old at most!

[BIGBALLS]

someone report it to the gambling commission they will look into it , as above stock photos are a no no on ebay ,

its not nicked its genuine.

 

they cost in the region of £7999+vat. i'd hazard a guess and say its about £5k resell value as is. if somebody forks out the money good luck to them. 

 

* its not worth £8k+vat, the industry knows how much money you 'can' make from them and they want a slice of the action.

It might be genuine, but Herondata know nothing about it and he has used their GC license number (presumably to get around the eBay rules).

 

Begs a few questions : 

 

1) He claims it's a gift. Where from?

2) If he hasn't got a license (so is using someone elses number) then what's he doing with a machine of this age and value, literally 'brand new'?

 

Even if not nicked it's very suspicious and I don't think any genuine operators will be touching it.

why not? if i was after a specific machine and could get it X thousand pounds cheaper - i would. ive never EVER heard of anybody coming round and checking serial numbers of new machines, just old legacy ones.

[cgleisure]

we have never had serial numbers checked 

[nails]

has anybody looked at the category hes listed it under?

 

cant see him getting many takers

[SourceLeisure]

Worrying 

Its Listed In The Wrong Item Category 

Rare As Hell A "BRAND NEW" Machine Is Listed On Ebay 

+ To Top It - Unwanted Xmas Pressie (Mad Present Buyers)

& Well Over Priced 

Licence Is Not Related To Him/Seller Directly 


.. I Wouldn't , Its A NO GO - For Me :/ 

If It Was Legit Get Serial No Checked
