Probably because they signed up yesterday and this is their only post. If they "had it serviced whenever a light went out" I would assume they don't know much about pins, let alone the value of a game like this. They probably priced it in the range of the pinside average which is way low on this title, then got slammed with messages in minutes and realized what they had.

I'll never understand why people feel like eveyone else needs to adhere to their own personal ethical code of pinball transactions and take a huge loss because they don't know the value of a 30 year old game because they don't obsessively follow the market like we do. I like a good steal of a deal as much as the next guy but if it was you or me we'd do the exact same thing and it's silly to pretend otherwise.
