Re: hi-top on ebay
Just goes to show it's worth paying £25 for the permit if that's the price it will sell for.
More likely it's shill bidding!

Re: hi-top on ebay
Agreed, Nigel - a close look at the bid history and history of one bidder seems to suggest this (allegedly!)

It is a British mongrel as well, been put together many years ago for operating back in its time.....never seen such a long club handle, maybe to stop kids using

Re: Hi-top on ebay
It’s surprising that someone with 573 feedback has bid 4 times since being top bidder.
Shill bidding usually stops just after beating the top bid. Not that I’m an expert at this of course, just my gut feeling Something is not right here, least of all the machine.

Re: Hi-top on ebay
I had a Mills Bellomatic for a short time that came to me with very similar, if not the same, length of club handle. Not a fan of it...
Re: Hi-top on ebay
Look at the payout card!
Single cherry, then two cherries plus lemon!
(No sign of two cherries plus bell, either).
THAT must have taken some critical 'adjustment'.

Hi,
Just wondering why the blue Mills Hi Top is fetching such a good price on ebay.
Is there something rare about it ??

Re: Mills Hi Top - Ebay
Already another thread on this, bloody rare machine that......I am lead bidder at the moment and have added four over bids to ensure I get it
Re: Mills Hi Top - Ebay
Hope you get it!
Could I ask what's rare about it? What other thread is it mentioned in?
Many thanks.

Obviously I am trying to be funny, although the price is a sure joke........

Re: High bids on eBay Hi-top
It finished at £1007.
bet the buyer who put 4 overbids after £1000 is mighty pleased to get such a rare beast for just £7 more!
Wonder if there is enough time to get it in the EH auction and make a handsome profit!

Re: High bids on eBay Hi-top
my guess is the "buyer" will, regretfully decline to complete the purchase on "technical" grounds, forcing the "seller" to relist the item?
