Looking at this thread from an overseas perspective, it's just mind blowing ...
I was a second hand dealer for 20 years here, and never once did I feel threatened. Dealt with some pretty scummy people at times too. Gives me perspective on how lucky we are to live in a relatively safe country.
PS .. this ad was posted on Los Angeles Craigslist today ... I immediately thought of this thread. (Lol at "Eastman" too..)

Full size "The Simpsons" pinball machine. In good condition. I would recommend a slight tune up. Rarely used Eastman. $975. Reply via email.
I will not respond to ridiculous "low ball" offers. Serious interest must respond with a truck to transport. Sold as is. Law enforcement home so don't even think about anything other than the purchase of this machine.
