I don't know if this will be of any interest to others, but some of the descriptions people use in an attempt to sell a jukebox, do amuse me.
For example;
"a lovely jukebox, nice sound and in dim light looks fantastic"
from this entry;

Perhaps if anyone finds more amusing ones they could add them to this thread?

I always liked worked (or ran) the last time we used it. What they don't say is that was 20 or 30 years ago before they put it in a shed with a leaky roof.

This guy always makes me smile.
He sells "restored" jukeboxes, though from some of the photos of his always over-priced machines, his idea of "restored" is a long way off mine.
This is his latest offering. It's obviously out in his yard, as his over-priced machines are all photographed in his garage or warehouse, whatever.

If he can't do anything with it, why does he think anyone would risk £250 to try to restore something with a rotted cabinet and an incomplete interior?
He has a feedback rating of only 85% on 51 sales.
That says everything.
