Not a bad price, but no pics. Any Pinsider in Boston should at least check it out to see if it's in great shape.

This sounds fishy:

"If you are interested please email me your phone#"

I agree. It doesn't necessarily mean that it's not legit, but I'd proceed with caution.

I do the same thing. My ads say "No response by email. No response without afternoon phone number".

Many emails are just automated fishing scams 'I will pay all shipping costs for your item....", but if I require a phone number, I can see if the area code is local. Requiring a phone number probably cuts out 90% of the time wasting inquiries.

Yes, it's kind of weird; as the seller would of course ordinarily have his phone number in the ad--and not be soliciting for phone numbers.

Could be compiling a list of email addresses & phone numbers.

No pictures add to this theory!

I had a cl scenario where i responded back and forth maybe 10-15 times with a buyer and then he disclosed he wasn't local after he objected to me sending his phone #..

Uggg, that is so typical.

Herbert, thought I would say thanks. Brought this one home today. Nothing fishy. Actually a real good guy. His shop ended up being 5 minutes from a school buddy. The game needs a good shopping and he provided some of the materials.

Went to Boston , played some golf, drank beer and picked up an AFM . By definition a pretty good day.

Nice score,you had a great day in my book,Almost blizzard like this morning here in Denver.

Nice score sulli, Congrats

Herbert you are a Saratoga guy?? i spent the best years of my life in that town chasing skiddie's. Wow has that place changes over the years. The tint and Lint is still there but the Hub is gone. the town is great

Ah yes Caroline street!!!!! Not only Desperate Annies but I was in Harold J's. Probably long before your time. Took both of my son's to the track for the first time this August. They were amazed by the town and the ladies. The buddy (I mentioned I visited when I got the AFM), spent many nights with me in that town. Next time I go up, I definitely owe you a "brewski". Thanks again

I never post my number in an ad. I always respond to email and once I have an interested buyer numbers are exchanged.

Brand new display, all rubbers and bad bulbs replaced, playfield taken apart cleaned and waxed then put back together

--I guess this proves that one man's shop job is not the same as another.

Way to go, sulli! Sounds like you got a heck of a deal. Around here, an MM straight off route with some wear goes for more than that.

Mystic, if you are the person I purchased from I meant no offense. I want to bring the game back to new condition and that will take some work. The game plays very well and I am very happy with the price and condition.

Considering he lives in Tennessee, I doubt you bought it from him. I think he was merely pointing out how people often have a very different idea about what the term "shopped" means.
