Quoted from Yoko2una:Go figure, OP's Pinside name is also the website to his business. Let's take a peek at some of his other machines on the site, shall we?
Being overpriced is one thing. Outright lying about condition is another. F this guy.
Look here... he has had these games for sale since 2014

I don't know if this ad is legit or not because it looks like the exact same machine in the same neighborhood that is posted for $2970 on Craigslist. Either that or the craigslist ad is some kind of scam.

Edit- it looks like they used the old bait and switch on the price, so I'm guessing it is the same ripoff company.
Quoted from spfxted:They also BUY pinballs! See if they want to buy an Austin Powers for $4k. Good deal as they sell them for almost $6k....
He'll buy it for $1500
Quoted from ASOA:Perhaps he should be in a more ventilated area while painting his pinball machines.
Paging the Naptha thread...
Quoted from MustangPaul:I like how these guys put up an overpriced game on Pinside and you never hear from them again.
Yup. Apparently I'm mean in this thread, yet I wouldn't have had the chance to be mean if we could scrub out the spammers in the first place!
Quoted from Manny10:Prices of pinball machines can vary by more then 50% based on play field condition alone . If this guy believes that his machine is worth that much, than obviously he is willing to be patient and to wait until the correct buyer comes along .
Although the price is too high for me to be interested in it, there could easily be someone around the is looking for an extremely high quality version of this machine to come around . I do find that most of the time it is the people that are always looking to buy the games at the lowest price that they have ever sold for, and sell their games at full retail that usually have the biggest issues with members that are trying to get the most out of their games when it comes time to sell them.
I wish you luck in your sale sir, and i do hope that you do not mind paying top dollar for machines that you have a lot of interest in to kind of balance it out if you know what i am saying ...

What the hell is all that jibberish?
Was that in one message or is that a collage?
Quoted from cosmokramer:What the hell is all that jibberish?

One message.
Who is the heck is Manny? Sounds like he's trained in Nigeria for his fantastic business pitches for all of pinside to enjoy. He's prolly selling an AP for the bargain price of $5550 for a lucky pinsider.
Seeing that message bolsters my original thought that maybe Powers was plural and the price is for two of them!
