Yea saw that one too. First post from an account that was created today and no pictures of the machine.
Quoted from Choggard:What's this game normally go for?
High 3k range.....they seem to be sitting in the northeast for a while. Probably because every wants a Premium or already has one (wish I had one...Pro or Prem) 
Quoted from ItsOnlyPinball:Wish all newer Sterns went for this price...we would all have more pinballs.
+1......genius
Quoted from BrianZ:PM sent. At this price, I have to find out....
I'm rooting for you. Bring it home to Houston!
I hope the guy who goes to look at it doesn't end up as belt or billfold leather. at $25 per (for real leather) that's a pretty good side business! "you got a purdy mouth boy!"

Exactly!
Seems like a good way to lure someone to show up somewhere out in the middle of nowhere with $2k cash in their wallet.
"Hmmm...I wonder why the guy said to meet him, alone, in the middle of this secluded woods at 3:45am. I wonder if he's got a diesel generator out here to run the ACDC pin so I can try it out first?!?"
Quoted from BrianZ:PM sent. At this price, I have to find out....
Let us know if you get anywhere
Quoted from turbo20lbs:I am insulted by the PMs, do you people think I'm that dumb to sell this for $2k?
Looks like some people need to learn to read and notice you are not the market place poster. Or they could just read the thread a bit and figure it out.
Quoted from turbo20lbs:I am insulted by the PMs, do you people think I'm that dumb to sell this for $2k?
So what are you selling it for? Price?
Ok, it's confirmed. Definitely a scam. I PM'd just for grins, and got the response below:
"hi there and also you can sms me for more details about the pin ball machine at (951) XXX-XXXX. wait your sms or email me at [email protected]"
Listed in TN, 951 is a cali area code. That's a cut and paste of exactly what was sent to me, I just xx'd out the number and email.
BTW Choggard, if you look, turbo only posted the link to the ad, he is not the ad poster. Pay attention people... 
Quoted from Anidor:hi there and also you can sms me for more details about the Pin Ball machine at (951) XXX-XXXX. wait your sms or email me at [email protected]
That's some poor grammar - even worse than mine. And I went to public school in Alabama. By the way, who says "sms???"

Exactly, that's a dead giveaway that it's an overseas scam...

Thanks for the mail ,
We are located in Memphis , TN and the game will be coming from here. The total cost is 2000 $ but you will paying 800 $ before delivery and the rest upon receiver and delivery of your game.
You can text me at (951) xxx-xxxx for more details about the game . wait a reply.
Anete.
No i will have to ship over to you .I am a merchant and i move alot and anywhere in US the delivery time is 3 to 4 hours / i will be using Fedex or UPS for delivery and also i will send you the delivery tracking umber so that you know when your game is delivered .
How about I give you $4000, and you pay the shipping? I can only pay in monopoly money, fair enough?

Yes it is a scam ! He has been texting me back and forth and will never answer the question as to whether or not I could pay via Paypal.He kept insisting on Money Transfer of 40% up front and says that he will ship the pin via Express Mail with Tracking(Duh?).I called him a scammer and he still asked me if I wanted to buy the game.Oh boy.

really? i would think the op could have stated it better so there was no confusion as opposed to doing it the way it was done. how about: hey guys, here is an ad I found on pin side... blah blah..... bet you there wouldnt have been one single pm to him, then he would have never been insulted and there would have been no confusion. terrible thread.
Dear Anete, I would be happy to meet in Memphis where the pin is located and, upon inspection, make full payment and take possession at that time. This will eliminate the need for any shipping. Awaiting your reply... Respectfully, local buyer
I realize this will not work but I would love to see Anete's reply

In his very broken English he will probably ask for the 40% up front anyway not even paying attn. to your comments. Watch.....

3-4 HOUR delivery anywhere in the US? Now THAT would be a neat trick! 
Your right. I wish we had a specialist on here for these situations. Someone that really takes pleasure in messing with these spammers.

I think that Jetzxi is doing a pretty good job at that already...
