looks like my writing. I think it's a menu with the specials of the
day on it.

further proof...I have no life.

Appears to be the same machine as in the auction:

See the 6 pic down at
http://cgi.ebay.com/BRAND-NEW-Medieval-Madness-Pinball-1997-Bally-Game_W0QQitemZ6243580789QQcategoryZ13725QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

very top you'll see the vertical pattern of the wall/blinds behind that appear in our whiteboard photo. also see some TZ side art
color in the whiteboard pic. appears to be the same machine...but doesn't prove anything still.

someone will either get a nice machine or burned big time. won't be me. though i thought about getting the guy's phone number in
china and having a chinese friend of mine call to verify. i'd also ask the seller to send a piece off the machine and I'd send
payment once received but given all this...sounds like too much work for something that is likely a scam. no recourse for a U.S.
buyer in China.

yeah, that's the auction I am dealing with. I know it's a scam, but I'm
just having fun with this guy.


I asked for pictures of the game, working, in operation, and he sent me
that. LOL


I asked for more images.

his reply:


this is the pinball pitures.have a look!!


my reply:

Maybe you misunderstood. I wanted pictures of the game running, not a
half picture of the back glass with some illegible note scribbled. I am
very interested in this game. I'll proably be the winning biddr, but
I'll only bid if I can see better images of this game in operation.
I.E, the playfield, the DMD , the DMD showing credits. (looking for
credit dot)

Thank you.

his reply:

sorry.I am no this pictures now.but I can ensure it all very well.and
brand new.if you trust.please bid.if you worry something.and can not
pay quickly.you an bid other's mahine.thanks!!

best wish!!

I was really expecting an RGP'er to say "Those were my pics from
such-and-such auction. "

Best I can come up with:

Mario, I will (have or leave) a picture for Jim, but I have no english
____

So I ____ this picture to Jim and ____ picture machine is mine (and
families). Have a look. Best Wishes.

Makes no sense but I tried.

wanna end the suspense quick...ask him to take the glass/trans outside
and take a pic with the chinese city in the background or car with
chinese license plate...bet you'll get a pic of it in front of Magic
Dragon in ohio somewhere :)
