It looks like a bulk or fast sale. I'm not sure the seller will take some time to write a list unfortunately...but who knows? The first who'll be visit the place will be the one who'll have more chance to find something really interesting. Too bad the pictures are too small, but I'm sure there should be some classics in there?  ::)

Let's hope this place is close from at last one of our Italians members here  ;)

he has had this on offer for quite a while. i don't like the seller, he is not friendly (i've already been in contact with him about other stuff) and he has INSANE prices, something must be fishy about that offer!

As ully is mentioning, his prises are high...

But im still thinking about jumping in a truck and race down to italy from denmark...

But his english is not that good, (maybe he uses an online translator)

the pictures is over a month old, and you can see on the Sega Touring car, that is has recived a lot of water allready... :( (watch the seats, all the dirt from the air and water is still there)

So i might not be worth the trip... :(

I have now talked at little back and forth with the seller...

He has sold some of the machines...

What i could figure out from his Italian writing, is that you can come around with a truck and load some of the machines, and then pay for it...

so i doesn't sound like the 250euro offer you could make on ebay was for the whole lot...  :evil:

The 250 euros are for only one "wet" piece dudes, so it's not a good buying after all

According to italian members of another mailing list, that place doesn't exist anymore. Those games are now in the dumpster. Initially those were machines parted out and used by a local arcade operator as replacement parts for other ones. Then he put them outside in that place where the pics were taken when he had to clean up a warehouse. Now they are gone. Anyway all that stuff have been exposed to weather events for months (snow, rain, sun, etc) so they weren't any good anymore.
That eBay seller is known over here for visiting local arcade operators (still in business or not) e taking pictures of various stuff in order to setup eBay auctions (for most of the times). If the item sells, then he goes back there and picks it up.
