Quoted from PhilGreg:Here's a good one. In french so I'll translate.
"PINBALL PARTS NEEDED (URGENT)!
Wood pinball machine needs parts. For exemple: flippers (x2), red or white battery powered lights (x6, min), flipper buttons (x2). I will negociate with you if you sell. For transport, I'm only available by subway."
What puzzles me the most is how urgent it really is...[quoted image]
I'm so confused. No idea what I'm looking at...even with the description

Great deal if you get a Space Station. Not so great if it's actually a POTC Zizzle... 
The South Elgin flipper is out of hibernation? Haven't seen him with his overpriced junk in a while. $4500 Firm? Yeah, keep it with the wonderful paint job.
Quoted from ToucanF16:Appraised by who?
The staff of Pawn Stars and American Pickers, of course!
Quoted from Billc479:The staff of Pawn Stars and American Pickers, of course!
But they have to make a profit and it's going to sit for awhile. They offered him $200.

Not that crazy that's a original 81. It is also fully working with a new Alltech mpu. A non working LE just sold for 900 and everyone considered it a great deal.
Here's a Lethal Weapon 3 for a mere $4,000.
I love it when things are ridiculously overpriced and the ad contains something along the lines of this, which is in his ad:
"If you are seeing this post its still for sale. If you ask me if it is still available I will not reply to you."
Trust me, we know it's still available and we're not going to be asking. Your price alone ensures that it's still for sale.

I have seen this thing in person. everything except the Alltech MPU and the backglass need to be replaced. It is a POS.
There is a Doodle Bug that every piece of metal inside of the cabinet head has rust. The seller wants $300. It has sold on eBay a few times and always re-listed. I would not pay more than $50-$75 for the salvageable parts.

with "yes it is. $8000 "
made me chuckle anyways

So at that rate...
10K by Christmas or your next text!
I think you should hit him up again next week.

it's on CL too. I contacted the seller, he said he could go to 275.00 and then tried selling me other stuff.

I forgot to mention that it was/is on craig's list and facebook marketplace also. The other arcade items that he has are in bad shape and over priced. When I contacted him, he informed me that I was not the right person for this machine.

Hey, they only made 13,075 of those 
Quoted from mbaumle:Here’s a gem!
My pf isn't as nice, maybe i'll list it for 2,800.00
A Bally "Surfers" is on our local FB marketplace. The add says "Bally’s 1962 working Bally surfers pinball antique ". They want $1500 for it and it is sitting in what looks like a house going through a demolition. There is construction debris everywhere a the machine is dirty. The rubbers are broken in the photo. Look for this one in Brandywine, MD.
The scammers are starting to get smarter. Look at the terminology they use. The obvious red flags are the price and the way they formatted their email address. Any time you see a price listed like that, $790, or $210, or $570, it's probably a scam. A real person would just stick with a round number, like $1000, or $1500, or $500.
I did not realize this thing was so small. How do they put this thing up on legs? If you watch the video, I know what your thinking, but don’t say it.

Lmfao...
Quoted from Mikala:I did not realize this thing was so small.
That video looks like a different game with the same name. The one on legs is about twice the size. Still runs on batteries and is plastic crap, but larger.

Can someone explain this to me? Please! I don't understand the ad? Do I need to get a responsible adult? LOL
Quoted from bob_e:4 games pictured for $100,000 seller states: "I'm not giving them away"
Probably not too far off from 40-45 with those 9 games though

Duh, the powder coated purple legs came with the LE version. You can't install legs on the Pro. Different software too.
