It's a shameful way to get more eyes on an ad and posting bait pricing should be strongly discouraged. This ad should be removed until they post the honest price.

Quoted from CrazyLevi:I don’t think you understand the soul-crushing Rollercoaster you forced this poor guy to ride...leading him to believe a Munsters LE was for sale for only $1,234.00, only to read the fine print and discover it was all a cruel bait and switch ruse!!!
There’s no recovering from something like that, on an emotional level.
Oh brother...
I'm hardly offended, and never expected this to be the real price. Imagine having to click in to each ad and scroll around to search for the actual price. Listing it for 8000 and saying in the ad that he would throw in the topper for another $1500 is a reasonable way to list it. That's how most people do it. These gimmick listings are all over Facebook marketplace. I'd hate to see this become the new normal here. Do what you want with your own ad though - I'll recover emotionally some day I guess.
Quoted from SilverUnicorn:I thought the ad was great. Honest description of the flaws, and clear, up close photos showing those flaws. I'd rather the price thing in this add than an ad saying" some wear" and then having 4 far away photos taken with a potato.
This was one of the best ads I've seen in a while on Pinside. If I could afford this I'd buy it.
Free bump for the seller! Nice looking machine!

I agree with everything you said. Its a nice machine and nicely described. I only take issue with the price listing. It appears to me to be a dishonest way to generate interest, and if it sells these fake prices might become more common practice. That being said, its a nice machine and I'd be tempted to buy it myself.
