damn, I should have copied and pasted the text It was along the lines of
"TZ great cond. 4 trade serious pinheads only - no blowjobs apply"
all one sentence and that was the whole ad.
Check this one out and he says its listed #37 on Pinside and i love the backglass too.

But this one takes the prize.I wonder who gave him the appraisal.
And Wow! I'm impressed. Having a child when you are 60+ yrs old?

I guess one of the closest natural disasters to an earthquake is a tornado...

Listen, if you can make a four player game from a game designed as a two player, and can ask $5k for it, you have the cajones to have a baby at 60.
I guess I don't get the humor. I'm not sure it even makes sense.

I'm sure that a backglass for Twister or Earthshaker would probably be around the same price LOL.

DM anyone for your mancave Yeah!! easttexas.craigslist.org link

Wake Up Silverman your missing all the good deals!
Whos got a good TZ they can trade for this guys offer? Who in their right mind would do this??????
Quoted from The_Dude_Abides:LOL had to share this one.
I saw that one too! that one is too funny! I understand where he is coming from, but who wants to waste gas driving somewhere only to find out that the sellers idea of a good looking playfield is way different than mine. EVERYONE has a digital camera of some kind nowadays and it takes like 5 min to put some pics on craigslist.

I'm right with you on this one practicalsteve. Takes minimal time/effort to take a picture where as driving down to see each pin that catches our eye could get real costly in gas and end up being a big waste of time.
Quoted from kwiKimart:I've wanted a Checkpoint for a while now.... maybe I can call my brother who lives in Sac-town to pick it up for me.
Thats a long drive from sacto to see it, dont even THINK about asking for pics!!!!! he may get a free beer out of it though.

Who knew business cards were so valuable.
Quoted from kwiKimart:Another "rare" pin......
at least he is realistic at that price. If he was closer to the bay area I would have to check that out.

Gotta love this one. Describes the sale as being for Star Wars Episode one but really selling Star Wars Data East per the pictures.
^^
Who cares which one it is? That is an excellent price if it is actually working.. more than likely a scam for emails or something.
Quoted from captainadam_21:Who cares which one it is? That is an excellent price if it is actually working.. more than likely a scam for emails or something.
I think most would care when the seller is describing the wrong pin and totally misrepresenting what people will actually be getting.
Quoted from Rascal_H:I just love the pics in this one
LOL, nice one rascal. Need a magnifying glass to make out anything in those pics.
You getting it BR? Seems like a good price
Nooo !! I bought 1 for $ 850.00 Last Year and I was the 3rd Owner ( non-Routed ) It's a Cool Pin, but VERY Shallow in Game Play.. I beat it with-n 50 Play's..

My favorite was in FL, I think Fort Myers, a guys was selling "Pinball Guns",
they looked strangely like paintball guns though.

Here is a good one, in my area there is a guy that constantly puts machines he shops and restores on craigslist. This does not bother me in the least because as far as I can tell he does not have an actual "store" so why not put them on there. He does price them a bit high in my opinion- but hey, if people are willing to pay, more power to him. However someone else constantly flags his ads and gets them taken down. This appears to be a witty reply from the seller.
I am going to paste the text from the ad here since I am sure that ad will get flagged as well:
Tis the season of the happiest time of the year. Except for one unloved creature, The Pinball Grinch.
As the story goes, The Pinball Grinch had a terrible childhood.
He was picked on, teased, made to feel ugly, unloved and unwanted.
He tried so hard to fit in but just could not
All he wanted was to play some pinball but the others pushed him away.
So as legend has it, each holiday season The Pinball Grinch (with the help of his homely little puppy) scans Craigslist over and over trying to take away peoples Christmas cheer.
He does not want any man, woman or child to own a pinball machine.
He does this by flagging, flagging and flagging some more and when he is tired flagging, he flags even more.
Perhaps it is because he was born with a heart 3 times too small.
His quest is to remove all pinball machines from the internet so he does not have to relive those painful childhood memories.
Maybe some day he will find some happiness in his life and will control his hatred for pinball and allow others to roam Craigslist freely hoping to fulfill their pinball dreams.
Once can only hope.
Happy Holidays!
Not hard to figure out who that is based on location. Pretty funny man.
Some people get pretty pissed at him and a few others that buy a lot of the good deals in the area then driving the price up on em. His prices are high but I am with you if people keep buying why would someone go lower?
