Required disclosure
Affiliate Disclosure
One affiliate programme, disclosed everywhere it appears.
The short version
PinballMachines.co participates in the eBay Partner Network, an affiliate advertising programme. When you follow a link from this site to eBay and go on to make a purchase, we may earn a commission. This costs you nothing — the price you pay is the same either way.
Which links are affiliate links
Every link on this site that points to eBay is an affiliate link. They are marked in the page source with rel="sponsored nofollow" and they open in a new tab. Links to any other site — manufacturers, reference resources, clubs, other sites we run — are not affiliate links and earn us nothing.
What it does not affect
Commission does not influence what we tell you. We do not recommend specific machines as purchases, we do not publish valuations, and there is no commercial reason for us to push you toward buying anything. The most valuable advice on this site is frequently "walk away from that one."
We point at eBay heavily for a straightforward reason: for pinball machines, parts, backglasses and boardsets, it is where the inventory is, and completed sold listings are the only openly accessible price data in this hobby. That would be the right recommendation with or without an affiliate relationship.
No advertising
This site carries no display advertising, no sponsored posts, and no paid placements. Nobody pays to be written about here.
FTC compliance
This disclosure is provided in accordance with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission's guidance on endorsements and testimonials, and with the eBay Partner Network's own programme requirements. It is linked in the footer of every page and referenced above the first affiliate link on any page that carries one.
