Does this auction look suspicious?
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...4380 447&rd=1
The above is a current Ebay auction for a 1475 Rockola whose description and pictures look like they were both taken directly from a 1475 at the bottom of this webpage: http://www.williams-amusements.co.uk/Products/juke.htm and whose detailed pics are he http://www.williams-amusements.co.uk...la%20tempo.jpg Not calling anyone dishonest but this one sure looks fishy ; ) |

Finally, an auction where they didn't steal or hotlink to my page
I would be very suspicious of this auction as the seller has a feedback of 0 and has only been a Member since Jun-21-04. mike wrote: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...4380 447&rd=1 The above is a current Ebay auction for a 1475 Rockola whose description and pictures look like they were both taken directly from a 1475 at the bottom of this webpage: http://www.williams-amusements.co.uk/Products/juke.htm and whose detailed pics are he http://www.williams-amusements.co.uk...la%20tempo.jpg Not calling anyone dishonest but this one sure looks fishy ; ) -- Ken In Texas http://www.pinballrebel.com Custom Pinball Cards, Jukeboxes, Drive In's "Never ask a man if he's from Texas.
