    Fair bit off the mark for sure.
    Also I have my doubts if they are actual pictures of the machine.
    There is an overpriced Dr.WHo on adverts too.
    Both good games in fairness.

    First image is defo fake. Second one looks real. Not even a mirror blade for that price ! Shocking.

    Some are,
    Condition is king.
    They are hard to value.
    I had 2 star treks at one stage :D

    Just looked it up there.
    I sold a fully working Startrek but it was very dirty and needed a lot of money for 1600e in the middle of 2016.
    It needed woodwork ,new plastics etc.....
    Took a while to sell and I shipped it to a lad in England.

    The other was/is very nice and thankfully went to a member here!

    And I couldn't give away a Jurassic Park lost world here for 1000e in 2015!

    I’ve a STTNG as well and I’d value that way more than my Fishtales. He is way off the mark with his price.

    Also looking at the Doctor Who.... I had a Doctor Who and Black Hole when I lived in Sweden. When I moved back to Ireland I could only take one with me (the Star Trek) and left the 2 others with my girlfriends parents in storage. A few years later we broke up and I had to tell her to tell her parents to get rid of them. I have no idea what became of them.....

    Meant pic3 had LEDs on stretch the truth.
    I’ve a fishtales at the moment I’m restoring and when restored I wouldn’t imagine is worth even half of what he’s advertised.

    The Dr Who does look in very good nic, no cliffys on the expander and the wear looks minimal, but the guy is basing his price on some UK business prices:rolleyes:

    It looks in alright condition, not sure what’s with the third party pics, he said he swapped the rubbers 2 years ago, I’d guess that could be exaggerated, the cabinet has been re-decaled and looks good, slight peal on the front edge, playfield looks really good but needs a clean. The price though :lol:, he’s an operator so maybe explains it, I’d estimate if it’s working 100% it’s probably worth about half asking, maybe a little more?

    80 euro for an unboxed PS1, don't all rush at once.

    I guess it does come with a 62gb sd card. Maybe it's a bargain after all.

    I really hope people aren't fooled by these. A pi3 with a cheap monitor/electronics and some wood for €1,350 is madness. €350 would be closer to a fair price, and even then, probably too high.
