Just wanted to share this. Not my game but wanted to see it go to a Pinsider.

Snatch it up dudes.

Honestly I'd be leary of this. No one wants a possession of stolen property wrap sheet.

"Tenant"??

This could be a stolen pin. Could be legit.. but my antenna would be up.

#3 8 years ago

Something sounds "fishy".

#4 8 years ago

Oh...that's a pretty dark reading, but I guess how it might come across that way.

Pinside detectives should investigate!

Tenants leave all sorts of crazy stuff behind sometimes.

Landlords are free to discard or sell stuff left behind on their property after a certain amount of time (normally 30 days), and after the former tenant has been notified that they left stuff behind.

yeah, that's what I read it as.

why are pictures so hard to include?

This isn't always the case and varies from State to State.

IMO just isn't worth getting involved with. All one needs to do is file a police report.

The ad for posterity:

Fish Tales Pinball Machine - $1200 (Central)

Recently acquired a pinball machine from a property I manage. The tenant left without notice and this was the only thing left behind (worth mentioning, anyway). Just looking to get what I am owed out of this machine. I have no knowledge of pinball, other than playing a few games as a kid, so I can't speak to the condition but he assures me that it is working 100% and is in great shape. He also mentioned i should have no problems getting the money i need from it. Shoot me an email and I can schedule a time for you to take a look at it. I am not sure how to even turn it on (haven't looked) but if you know anything about pinballs then maybe you can turn it on and play it before making an offer. The game is titled "Fish Tales". Thanks!

"this was the only thing left behind" ...lol. It's a fish tale for sure.

True, however, in NJ, it appears to be 30-days after notice given.

Actually, I don't care what the law says. All you need is for some idiot tenant to call the police and tell them you have their stolen pinball machine. THAT"S the point I'm trying to make.

Trust me. I deal with this stuff quite a bit.

Regardless, the pin is mine now. Totally unfaded. HUO condition too.

When there is no way to respond to an ad, there is also no way to buy it.

Really? Fredonia must be about a 7hr trip each way to CNJ, and the ad was only up for less than a couple hours.

But if you got it, congrats

Hey OP, do the community a favor and next time you find a cheap game on CL, don't post it. All that happens is the seller gets bombarded and more often than not he jacks the price up.

Easier to do if there is an e-mail reply address.

To reply, you hit the reply button on craigslist. Then a drop down menu appears with the email address and options. You've never utilized this on CL?

Sure I have. Doesn't work on this one though.

The reply button is broken on this ad, since it has been deleted. You're simply seeing a cached version right now.
