I'm sad I missed the SMB for sale thread.
Wow that pinslut thread was hilarious.

Quoted from dmbjunky:I didn't know the story behind the Apron of Destiny. Fun read but why did the thread get locked?
The same question I had, a fun, upbeat thread!
Quoted from Mudflaps:Pinslut is probably my favorite thread ever. Still makes me laugh!
And Pinslut was voted as the Favorite/Best Pinside online name by a mile (a few years ago).

Occasionally the OP gets thrown out of his own FS thread. Those are great.

Whoa. I just read that whole thread. Entertaining.

I enjoy FS threads, both for the pictures and guessing what the price will be. When I saw the flamey icon thing after 4 hours, I knew it would be good.

Got another one!!!
So...why do all the guys with pinball machines get the girls?
In this thread, well....
https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/why-do-pinball-guys-all-get-girls
I think I counted 250+ posts in under 24 hours.
I like to think that the spirit of the 'Best Of' thread is based in funny, sometimes unintentionally hysterical exchanges. A For Sale ad where a guy calls everyone an asshole is questionable, but as always, everyone is free to contribute! 
My point was that those ads turn into a train wreck of discussion about everything BUT the items for sale. It's hysterical.

It's like a combined best and worst of pinside in both of those threads. Love the vid story and kinda wish he didn't defend himself. It would have only added to the legend that is Bill Brasky... er, vid1900.
So a guy that does a lot for the Pinside community posts a racist photoshop, and while nobody wants to see him permabanned, those of us who feel he's getting the kid gloves treatment just because he knows a thing or two about the pins end up getting touched with the banstick so yay, go Vid. Go Pinside. Go being some homo sapiens that evolve.

After this, well, I don't think Treasurecove's reputation will ever be quite the same...!
Quoted from PismoArcade:The gift that keeps on giving....
Did he ever actually list any machines for sale with pictures and a price?

Anddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd.... another contender!!! OP buys a $9000 ASLE for $8300 and then refuses to accept the game when the box has damage to it, and somehow at first, it was all Stern's fault.
Get your popcorn folks, this was a good one:

Quoted from Mudflaps:This sucks.
The best pinside threads used to be hysterical trainwrecks spiraling into oblivion. Now, we’re just arguing.
Where’s the Star Wars kid in these dark times?
This one below probably set some records for # posts per hour, but actually appears to have a decent resolution agreed upon at this point imho.
However, the actual final transaction still needs to be completed of a restored 1978 Bally Playboy pinball machine.
Hopefully the inspection, payment, load-up, and delivery goes smoothly.
p.s. trying to sell a machine on Facebook and Ebay that you don't own is not a good idea, especially when the owner notices this, and starts a thread on Pinside Forum about it.
Pinsider explains why pinball is always only part of the equation.
