Already posted about them, contacted the seller he is ok if I bid and pay a late, so I should be able to go a bit higher, but money is tight, will try my best, as I have a reader, this would be a great chance for the scene.

[kensplace2]

although its looking like these are popular, maybe a pot could be put together, so they could be bought for reading for the scene? Just a thought.
Would hate to see them go just to be used for erasing and re-use without being read first............

[edit]
high bidder now, but gonna be pushed to go much higher.

but someone had to do it, people are getting ripped off, left right and centre. somebody please ask me a question on ebay about it, so we can expose these tossers on ebay further.

The only good thing about people selling these things on ebay is, it must piss of darren watts as he isnt making as much money conning people with them now.

The amount of checks a barcrest for example has to guard against this sort of thing (not that these would affect it anyway) is beyond belief, watchdog timers, automatic resets,anything that can be screwed with is monitored and the machine will just reset if anything screws up.

As for the crap these sellers come out with, saying all machine owners have one to empty the machine at night - followed by "the effects are random"....
These sellers cant even lie properly - why would a manu supply something to do somehtying random????

Sometimes these sell at a low price though, and thats great for buying spare keyfobs if you lost your car alarm one....

The police should get a list of everyone selling these as real manipulators and
keep it on file as a list of the toe rags that dont mind scamming people. Its a cheap form of detective work

Had one fella recently on ebay, who said it actually worked on a machine he owned, but he had sold the machine. So i used ask seller a question, and asked what machine he had that this car alarm keyfob worked on... Guess what, as usual no reply whatsover.....

Only seen one auction on ebay for a manipulator (non electronic) that would stand any chance of working - even then it would only work on a certain model cabinet, and even then, only on ones not fixed against it. (course that was not mentioned in the auction......)

LOL love ya advert nails.

however I'd put RF manipulator in the title as most people search by keywords so yours will be missed.

looks great tho, I'll give ya £300 for it.

Does it work on the 2p coin nudging machines?

For those that are not aware of ebay type scams if you check the auction for the so called manipulator you may notice that common names crop up in the bids across all of them, one ploy they use is to bid many times temselves to increse the amount of bids for an item, this is supposed to make you think its popular and tempt you to bid as well, the stupid thing is they cant even get that bit right !...you will see bids from the same person increasing in size...the silly thing is the person did this over a 90 second period !...why on earth would someone bid against themselves about a dozen times in 90 seconds increasing the bid each time ...the answer is..its a con, just as the manipulator is, just steer clear and dont be fooled.

just a quick message to say that whilst playing lucky strike via fme emulator, the rf-manipulator didnt work either..

it did however temporary disable my wireless network, and kick me off of MSN.

[dtrmad2004]

Outbid still, hit my limit....

Owe way to much on ebay fees already, and pushing it big time to bid as high as i did

Hopefully someone from the scene will win them, otherwise its a big loss.

You are lucky that you did not win them, this is a post on the mfme forum that says that they have already been dumped.
