    I texted the number, no response, and then called and got a automated message saying the mail box was full...no kiddin'. I wonder if the number is to someone who is clueless about the CL ad and now their mailbox is full of people asking to take these machines off their hands?

    Notice the Whirlwind pinball machine next to the Blackwater 100? I would assume this is a scam but you never know.

    If it's not a scam, the seller is a moron.

    I was wondering about that machine too. Is it for free as well? I sure don't want to get mugged, however the listing does suggest you bring 3 strong people to help move. Seems risky.

    OK, perhaps I was a bit harsh.

    Call or text… not an email fisher. I bet she thinks that Whirlwind is broken and will throw it away. Someone go get that stuff!

    LOL

    Yeah, I tried calling this morning and got same result. The ad is still up. I've given up. Some things are too good to be true.

    #13 11 years ago

    I'd pass on this one.

    #14 11 years ago

    I thought it was a scam. Originally there were 2 ads.

    My bet is someone is trying to screw with the poor woman.

    Noone in their right mind would give away a pacman and a pin

    Unfortunate for the person whose voice mail is getting inundated. Just another good soul out there doing their part to make the world a better place for everyone. They would be terribly missed if they weren't around...
