Ive been thinking of routing a Vacation America ...good thing I can add that “coinslot”.
Hard to say... I know there are some toy categories that people go nuts for... are 90’s hand-held lcd games one of them? If so it’s possible that the price is in line with that particular collector market.
But not being a collector of such things, I’d pay 4.50 for it... not 450.00 lmao.

Interesting that you should mention it; my grandfather had given me a Nintendo Game&Watch Popeye handheld LCD game when it first came out in the '80s; I played with it a bit then put it back in its box and stored it in my closet. 30 years later my dad is cleaning out his house to get ready to sell it and he comes across the game. He gave it back to me, I put it up on Ebay, and it sold to a guy in Australia for $425! I guess one man's trash is another man's treasure, indeed.
Quoted from Scotty_K:I guess one man's trash is another man's treasure, indeed.
The original Nintendo games are quite valuable. I repaired a Mario Cement Factory game recently, got a decent price for the work and the guy still made a killing selling it.
Quoted from MichiganDad:It’s vintage
My grandpappy played with one of those in aught three. He handed it down to his children as a prized family heirloom.

The stupid busted up pachinko machine seller (last 3+ years of listing) has been reposting many times a day lately... i think I should start a drinking game... call it Craigslist Roulette. Which featured picture will it be this time? The old school desk, the rotten fire hose, the fake wood folding table or the little more realistic wood like one with the insert? Perhaps the wierd looking noahs ark like toy? Guess wrong and two shots for you.

For me it would be the "Wanted: 1980s arcade pinball machines" or the "1990 vintage software" post that come up about once a week.
Edit: I forgot the "$500 non-working Bingo pin"
Eight Ball Deluxe...."the limited edition model has the rarer, more collectible cabinet style."
Wow, did not know those were the more collectible versions. Anybody want to trade me their Centaur II with the rarer cabinet style and half-size backglass for my full-size original Centaur?
Beware of ebay listing, Listing states "all boards worked when removed from game", Really. Says one chip is missing from sound board. Sound board is missing 6 chips from what I can tell. Of course "AS IS" sale. Here is a pic. ebay.com link: itm
Quoted from jibmums:Anybody want to trade me their Centaur II with the rarer cabinet style and half-size backglass for my full-size original Centaur?
I guess I will... but I will need some cash my way as my centaur 2 has the more collectable cabinet
Quoted from Mitch:I guess I will... but I will need some cash my way as my centaur 2 has the more collectable cabinet
You can tell it's rare because of the way it is.
Quoted from imagamejunky:The coolest looking pinball table ever!
Everything is magnet-based, so you don't need any mechanical assemblies

Oh I know! I hate those machines. I have to hide those ads because they drive me nuts

Well at least it's in "mid condition"
Ha!
Not a pinball but just loved this description
Make: Suzuki
Model: Gz250
Year: 2007
Miles: 47,000
Description: Nice little cruiser. Has a blown engine and crack in front fender, other than that in good condition.
Look man you could ride it down a hill, other than the most expensive thing being broken on it, its in real good shape . I like how it has 47k miles on it as well. I feel like that is a lot of miles for a bike (Could just be me).

That's a known type of scam listing.
The tip off is the $300 price and the jumbled gmail address with no actual contact info to reply through Craigslist itself.

I want that GG train object. I’ve got the G train right on my corner. Back in the 69s and 70s it was the GG as I am on an express stop.
Here's a good one. I like how he said he has 250 hours in it. Wtf were you doing that took 250 hours hahaha. Also because of the new boards... 3k... for a 2 player speak easy I'd think about it for $700 new boards or not.
From the ad:
For Sale: I have a quite rare Bally Speakeasy from 1982 back when they were making the iconic pinball machines that everybody wants these days. It has over $1200 in upgrades alone including full l.e.d. light conversion and ALL the boards have been replaced with modern technology Alltek electronics. New fly-away targets and rubbers have been installed as well as a playfield protector and a new power supply too. There's really too much to list but with over 250 hours put into it you can be sure that everything has been thoroughly gone through and it works and plays absolutely perfect. Truly it's as close to being bullet proof as any machine could be, I would not expect it to have any problems whatsoever for many, many years to come. I've attached a few pics for you to take a look at. Price is $2950.00 obo. Please feel free to contact me with any questions you have. My name is Jon and I am located in Richmond, Va. You may respond to this ad via email or call me at show contact info
, no texting, no calls after 9pm. Thank yo
HUO only? Coin door skin is rippled at the lock(inside edge), bottom back of the cabinet is missing a chunk of wood, and cabinet needs touch up. Nice pictures of everything BUT the upper playfield.
Hmmmn, me thinks NOT!
