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

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.
