Have a friend reply too. If he starts trying to buy both machines you know it's 100% scam.

Quoted from iloveplywood:

Maybe I'm wrong, but it does seem like a lot of work to try and scam a $950 Wizard pinball machine from somebody.

It would be. But the scammers don't do that. They do a similar scam to dozens or hundreds of potential victims. If they get a few hundred bucks for sending out a couple hundred emails that is easy money. They will never personally possess the merchandise. If they even have it picked up it will be by an unwitting mule who is also a victim of a fake check/advance fee fraud.
