I may have to sell my machine due to moving out. It's Barcrests Vamp it up, £25 jackpot, spare bulbs, practically perfect condition only a small scratch on the black plastic around the buttons. Based in Birmingham £170. Anyone possibly interested?

[todd1970]

Hmmm good machine that and very reasonably priced..Im sure there will be offers for it on here.

If only i had £170..(oh and if only i lived in Birmingham)

Bastard, id love to buy it, it makes a fortune and rolling it is a thing of beauty

Edbanger, a quick question.

I am looking at buying a fruit machine and i am interested in your vamp it up.

My question is that do you think it would fit into the boot of a normal car or would i have to use a van. Prob a silly question i know but i havent ever actuall tried to pick a machine up and unsrue of the dimensions.

Cheers mate

I might have re-evaluated my interest in your machine, considering its probably my favourite bandit. Im trying to get in touch with a couple people in town, ill drop you a PM when theyve got back to me. Should be able to pick up from birmingham if i do decide to take it

What an absoleute f***ing ballache carrying a fruit machine up 3 flights of narrow stairs and find it won't fit through your door so it takes half hour to get the tools and get the door off and then it just fits (just, just after forcing it through the PVC frame bending the PVC as its going through). The sheer weight on them also, I think when I move out, the machine STAYS!



PS Does buyer collect!!!!!!!!!!!!!???????????????

I got a club adders and ladders in an escort hatchback. Yes it was overhanging, the suspension was knocking on the bumps and I was freezing with the boot open but I drove about 60 miles 2 get it home.
I wouldnt recommend it as I nearly died of a heart attack sometimes.

Surprised I aint been on police camera action or summat as I got some puzzled looks going down the fast lane of the motorway lol.
