I see this guy selling, or attempting to sell machines on ebay all the time.
He has now started an auction for a Barcrest Pinball machine with a low opening bid.
Something is not right with the pictures. He show a picture of the machine with the door open and it shows a very clean S2000 machine with a 502 or 504 board. However the other two pictures from the outside are defiantly not this machine.
Noted differences are the clean looking pictures shows a short reel glass and a printer on the reel shelf where the outside pictures are a long reel glass and no printer. One picture show a coinless machine and the other shows coin gear and a tray?
Why would someone put pictures of a machine that's not the machine they are selling?

Actually if you look even closer you'll notice that's an S+ barcrest!  The insides are what you describe though, a short reel S2000.  On the two outside picutres one has a player tracking plate from a casino, the other one shows a wihte player tracking plate.

I sent him a question about those pics and he said he'd correct it but it turns out he's just another shady eBay slug. The Port St Lucia, FL address looks familiar though. And eBay has always been a pain in the ass to report sellers like that because of cits into there profits.
