Quoted from Puffdanny:Theres a $10 toy pinball that pops up every few days in the Detroit area if I was closer I would go get it to smash.I have emailed them twice offering to send cash if they would just throw it in the trash.

Quoted from CoolCatPinball:Even better, buy it, then smash it to oblivion in the sellers driveway, turn around without saying a word, and leave

With all the ubiquitous specific-game Pinside clubs here, that gives me an idea for a really good one: the "Smashed $10 Pinball Toy Game from an Annoying Craigslist Advertisement Club". You become a member by posting a photo of yourself with the game pre-smashed, and then smashed.
Quoted from Puffdanny:Believe me if it wasn't over an hour each way it would of been smashed already
ask them about shipping
There has been a broken pachinko machine here every couple days for the last 5 years... boy would a sledgehammer to that thing feel good but I can’t reward that guy cuZ then he would just find another.
Quoted from Puffdanny:Anyone near Rochester coming to the show next week? You pick up I'll buy and we can all smash it.
Can I bring one from the Cincinnati area and have the mini bike parade run over it? Better yet, can we find a bunch of them and line them up and get some ramps and do an Evel Knievel jump over them ?
Quoted from PinPilot:Here is what we would do to it in Texas! » YouTube video
Just take out ALL of the 11mm steel balls first.
Quoted from Puffdanny:Anyone near Rochester coming to the show next week? You pick up I'll buy and we can all smash it.
I'll be there Friday.
Quoted from steviechs:I'll be there Friday.
I'm good for $10 if you got the time to pick it up but you should totally try and get it for $7
but it has the original box!!!
I'm probably just as bad in this area, but at least I bother to check and see what the market is bearing before putting something up for 3-4x the going rate
Ebay not craigslist but damn what a deal!
ebay.com link: Zizzle Marvel Super Heroes Pinball Machine VERY RARE
You can't sell a bingo around here for more than $200 unless its an unusual situation, and even at $200 it will take weeks or months to sell. I personally enjoy bingos for the nostalgia value, but soooooo complex and complicated to repair. There's a Nashville bingo on Ebay in good shape that didn't sell for $250. Just not much bingo love out there it seems.

I agree, Bingo's are fun and I like how complex they are, it just makes you wonder where people get these numbers from. Yeah, locally I've seen some of the really beat up examples posted for $50 and they stick around forever. I guess for that game I'd be willing to pay $150 or so? I'd think given it's condition that would be fair.. maybe $200.
You'd have to pay me $150-$200 to take ANY bingo machine.
Now if they weighed about 1/100th what they actually weight, might be a different story.

Bring your hammer
I like how they didn't even bother to find a picture of the right machine: sfbay.craigslist.org link
Quoted from steviechs:Bring your hammer
You're my hero!!!!! Just let me know how much I owe you.what day are you going?I'll be there all 3.
Quoted from steviechs:Bring your hammer
Lmfao...I work in Rochester so thanks for picking up that thing, I was heavily considering it. Now install a 3 spinning disc mod on it.
So question is does the seller finally ever delete the add...
Quoted from swillie:So question is does the seller finally ever delete the add...
The listing is gone. More importantly it won't get reposted 3 times a day for the next 6 months
The best part of the transaction was when she asked if I was a big Johnny Depp fan.....?????

Save it for gun range practice

Somebody suggested we make a ramp and have the mini bike parade jump over it like Evel Knievel

Like the old bingos with magic screen personally. Do agree they weigh a ton, however, the head easily comes off to make transport simple. Actually easier to move than a regular pinball because of taking the head off.
I just bought a TZ and it was a pain in the ass to move! It weighs a ton as well and it’s a wide body.

That was me on the EK jump. Save the destruction for Saturday so I can see it live rather than on tape delay on Wild World of Sports

Look at all that crap for sale, the whole estate should be dropped off the roof of TNT amusements.
