Because scammers know that most people in this community purchase with "emotion ahead of logic" and with HEP saying (paraphrased) "Ten years ago you'd be selling this for $800 and now it today's market this would go for $4000, and I am being generous with that price." - scammers know this is a HOT BED of activity and stupid money is changing hands.

And people here on Pinside advertising they're buying LE, SLE, CLE games sight unseen with baseline prices in the $8K realm just attracts the scammers like sharks on bleeding baby sheep in the ocean waters. You think scammers aren't watching people pay $15K for NOB POTCJJP?

There are others like this scammer. Ask me how I know. One ALMOST got me, but I reacted quickly enough and got the game back to him. Coincidentally, no shit, it was TAF. (For those wondering, Google: Pinball Universe).
