As most of us are aware... the person running the scam frank polk auction on ebay also has this rol-a-top listed.
i just sent him this email through the ebay system:
hi,
nice machine.
can you provide the serial number so i can date the machine, and some photo's of the mechanism outside the case.
thank you in advance. frank polk auction:

Regarding the Rol A Top: It is obvious that it has been "restored" (sounds more venerable than what it actually is: RE-PAINTED). My preference is original condition Rol A Tops; thus my disinterest in the machine itself. However, I am curious, what is considered "fraudulent"?
I find the listing confusing by the self-contradicting description: . . . original professionally restored . . .? Also the buy-it-now price being different than the price he is willing to take, found in the description; and the insinuation to deal direct rather than sell thru e-bay. Undisclosed "restorations"?
I would simply like to know what others find to be "fraudulent"?

Read the thread about the Frank Polk Figure listing, and you'll see what is Fraudulent.
All four of this sellers listings, is a SCAM. He Does Not own anything. He is using other
eBay members Photos. He has been reported to eBay by several people. Now it's the
'waiting game', to see if and when eBay reacts.

I emailed the scammer also asking for serial numbers and pictures. Not expecting a reply. Could we flood his inbox? Naaa

The scam on the watling becomes evdent when the bid price is $3200, and he is willing
to take $2500, take all the deductions from ebay and paypal, and he is still ahead of
the game. at the bid price. At that point the deceit becomes obvious and he is a thief.
The machine looked pretty n grooved case and all .
I wonder whose photo he used. goodguy
