Berea, OH
My first pinball that I remember playing - Bally Eight Ball. On local CL.
Hilarious price for the condition. My opinion - worth around $500. Where do they get these prices?

My sister lives out in CA and she forwarded that to me this morning asking if I wanted her to go look at it for me. I told her not to waste her time. If by some off chance it was a real ad, someone is going to get a hell of a deal!!

Didn't take that one long to get flagged/removed
Quoted from achtungboyy:A guy here has benn selling Evel Kneivel for 2750 for 2 years now. Not in great shape.
Who is Benn? And why is he asking $2750 for an Evel Knevel?

In the zizzle pirates ad I like how he lets you know that you could offer more than the $1000 he's asking to insure you get it. Or you could go and buy 4 NIB ones for the $1000 you're going to spend on this used one.
I sometimes wonder if people just do quick searches for pirates pinball and don't notice the difference between their zizzle home model and the full sized commercial one. Of course, I wouldn't pay $6-$24K for the commercial one either.

Quoted from rollinover:the laserball is at least HUO and super clean.
The only way I could see a Laser Ball being worth 4k is if it included $2500 in the cashbox - regardless of condition.
Quoted from The_Director:This one is great: charlotte.craigslist.org link
Some go for $6-24,000!
We get some ridiculous craigslist ads here but this might be the greatest ad I have ever seen. I usually laugh pretty hard at just at the run of the mill Ddemolition Derby Collectors Item RARE!!!!!!!!!! pinball machine for $500 but this takes the cake.
Quoted from dothedoo:Here you go....worth a laugh for the location alone.

That is a real place I had to check. Either way that pin would make great camp firewood.

Theres people stupid enough to buy it, so why not price it high.
I had this zizzle years ago, I bought it for $100 bucks, put in LED's in the backboard after some modification. Then it started not working, so I posted an ad saying trade for gumball machine and it wasn't working. So that's what happen after a week a guy called said he had a carousel gumball machine, 100% working in good condition. I told him about this zizzle, he said he was gonna gut it and design his own theme. We did the trade, and had the gumball machine for 6 years now. Brand new they were $250.

Classic. I'm thinking people must be coming in from surrounding towns to spend 4k for this heap...
There was a $200 non-worker meteor that didn't look to be in bad shape here in Houston this week. Sometimes it cuts the other way.
Quoted from Bax1:I about peed myself laughing at this one

Goats??? That explains why it 'needs new wiring'.

I would have been all over that.
Quoted from movingpictures:Laser Ball for $4k LOL
burlington.craigslist.org link
that's funny right there. Laser Ball was one of the 2 games I actually lost money on back in the day. Had $275 into it. Fully working , freshly shopped, in good shape all around. Couldn't get $250 for it.
Quoted from dothedoo:I would have been all over that.
I would have too had I had room. I have two racing arcades coming in this weekend and am completely out of room.
Dammit, after watching the TNT Amusements video on youtube, it would have been a cool piece to grab.
Quoted from dothedoo:Goats??? That explains why it 'needs new wiring'.
Yeah not only the goats but you can make it worth 3,000!!!! Gees lol
Quoted from ttown:That is a real place I had to check. Either way that pin would make great camp firewood.
Douche. You, not the CL guy. The CL guy is overpriced, yes, but how the f--k can anyone look at that and even joke it would be worth more as firewood than preserving, other than a lame attempt at humor..

At least he said "obo".
Quoted from Frax:Douche. You, not the CL guy. The CL guy is overpriced, yes, but how the f--k can anyone look at that and even joke it would be worth more as firewood than preserving, other than a lame attempt at humor..
This is perfect lets ship them all to Texas so Frax can play them with his friends.

Now that's funny and so is this:
Another laser ball originally posted for $250 last week.
I replied and was told I am in a bidding contest and the current bid is $1500.
The next day I got a call because no one else showed up!
How about a nice "Charlie,s Angels" for $6800? I'm just guessing it's nice, based on the price. Not much other info in this ad other than a bad stock photo.

You pay, you ship, I play. Sounds good to me.
I have always enjoyed this one:
Whitewater pinball (RESTORED) $7650

Thanks for all the wonderful pics of this restored game at a super high price!

Although not a seller, I like this one.
Especially this bit: "I can do renovations, paint, bring your daughter to prom, walk your cat and cook a mean lasagna."
