There's a new market ad, from a new member (welcome, new member!) for a mint MM for $5000. I don't think I got in to buy it in time, others beat me to it. Good job, I am sure you will be happy with the purchase

Maybe in a few years. Will depend on how will the remakes sell and how happy people are with them in the long term. Today? Nope, scam.
My agent is in his area with postal delivery office money orders valued in over excess for $500 than his asking price for the item(s).
I will please be to thank him for selling his item(s) to me in short time.
Definitely a scam. Says it has normal wear and then says NIB condition. It amazes me how people can flat out try to scam someone and have no remorse.
Quoted from luch:look at the picture of the wall showing the plug . That is a uk plug socket . yet he lives in Alabama
Ha ha!
You guys alway analyze these adds with a microscope! Good observation!
Quoted from Crash:I dunno, I heard Alabama has some nice European power offerings for extra special needs.
HEY! I resemble that remark..... 
Quoted from luch:look at the picture of the wall showing the plug . That is a uk plug socket . yet he lives in Alabama
You are correct. UK socket. Looks like another Kevin Gaskins thread in the making.
Break out the pitchforks and torches again folks!
That same image was used for a sale in Pinballclassified.com from Philly. Same description and photos.
I'd advise they pull the ad.
Sana'a
ok... but wouldn't I have listed it for like $15,000???
Quoted from Crash:Is it possible to flag ads?
You can PM a mod about it or start a feedback thread. But we're already on it behind the scenes with this one. Expect it to be gone soon, if it isn't already gone.

The machine or the ad? 
Quoted from Law:Best thing I learned from this thread - BlondeTall's back!
I occasionally show up to keep the other mods in line. 
Quoted from spfxted:I hope she voted!
I've voted multiple times from my phone, because it's all blocked from my work computer.
Remind me to put you in charge of any online voting needs I have in the future. You seem to rally the crazies quite well.

Thank you!....I think...

I heard he's collecting Zizzles now . He'll be on here having his silent auctions & price pumping Zizzles real soon...
I emailed the "Seller " earlier today asking for his Paypal email address,address, and cell phone #.Hours later, this is the response that I received:
"Hello ,
Thank you for your inquiry and the interest you have on my Medieval Madness pinball machine. Sorry i was beside wife at the Hospital since morning . Reason why i could not get back to you earlier. I Purchased my MM in 2007 , This is the only pin that will meet the needs of every pinball player. The playfield and cabinet are in excellent condition. This game has been home use only since new. It has the full manual set included. A Pinball Pro speaker has been installed. It plays great. All functions have been checked by a trained technician for proper operation. My final asking price for my MM is USD5,000 and i am simply looking for a quick sale due to Pregnant wife's condition who is also suffering from breast Cancer which needs more money to get her out of state for operation before she delivers in three months from now. I have also include a youtube link bellow to a short video of my MM for a better view and appreciation. Kindly check out the video and advise where you are located precisely so that we can make a deal as soon as possible . Maybe we can arrange shipment or pick up tomorrow since i will be free all through the day ."

He forgot to mention his dog getting run over by a car.
Ask for a pic of your name written on a note on the glass. Then ask to exchange cash with machine in the Wal-Mart parking lot. That will get him.

Quoted from dmbjunky:It's kinda weird the guy was smart enough not to let the ad generate a thread. That doesn't sound like a noob.
The checkbox for generating a discussion thread is unchecked by default.
Quoted from glasairpilot:It amazes me how people can flat out try to scam someone and have no remorse.
Agreed, but I'm more amazed that such large numbers of people still fall for this type of scam. There's always so many clues that it is a scam. Yet some people are either oblivious to it, or worse, try to convince themselves that it is genuine due to a fear of missing out on great deal.
Quoted from Gorgonzola:There's always so many clues that it is a scam.
I always thought by now the scammers would be smarter.
But it was pointed out to me that they are searching for a target audience, where they have the best success. And by doing the same thing over and over, they have a better chance of success for those people.
LTG : )™
I am glad someone else posted the email response.
It is to bad I do not live in the area. It would be fun to arrange for a local pick up and see how they would respond.
Im assuming "unfortunately just sold the machine" or "wife is having child"
Guess we will all just have to stay in the market for a 5000 MM.
