I read this ad exactly 11.32 times, and I still have no clue what I am looking at or reading.
Something about a box? 2 can play the box from 30ft away? Remotely?
Quoted from Matesamo:Sure, sounds great.[quoted image]
are those Banana flippers?
Not pinball but... $1100 for Golden Tee 97... the home edition... sold at sporting goods stores... for $50 on closeout a few years back. Imagine the Arcade 1Ups but cheaper.

I was in till I saw the coin door and that it may be a reimport...
Quoted from DrWaz:Only $8000[quoted image]
I wonder if he would give me $6500 credit for the missing legs?
Quoted from DrWaz:Only $8000[quoted image]
What you couldn't spend $100 on legs? Probably could have asked $8,999 with legs.
This is posted on my local Craig's list for $1000:
Very rare vintage pinball machine that was turned into a table. Not sure the year but looks to be 50’s-60’s. This was passed down to me by my grandpa.
Great for a retro style house or man cave.
Local pick up only. I will not deliver. But I will help load into your truck!! Very heavy!!!

Well that's fugly.
Quoted from Ballypin:Plus it includes a min-porn collection on the side
Them booty stickers might be worth more than the table
Wow, just wow. Don't know whether to feel worse about the $999 over priced list, or what Crazy Grandpa did to a poor undeserving pin.
Quoted from CaptainNeo:that backglass is actually in really nice shape. Worth $200 just for that.
....and a nice straight coin door skin, probably worth another $100, and all the score reels are there....hmmmm
$4,450. Probably not a good deal since shipping not included.

One day I went to a repair shop, and they had some new techs that were not E.M.
knowledgeable. They decided that the quick way to fix the mechanical pinball was to
spray a can of contact cleaner inside the game...
They closed the game up, and turned it on, and boom!
It looked just looked like the pictures above.

I think we need to know what shop this is, just as a public service to the community...

What a deal!
I don't know, you go to the bingo section and all those guys think this shit is worth gold. Until you buy one and try to sell it to them. Then they tell you, I'm not looking for that one.

I like the condition given as "fine."
Quoted from embryonjohn:Just some TLC needed[quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]
I have messaged him three times about picking it up and got no response. I have a friend looking for a total overhaul machine as a school project that this would be perfect for.
Quoted from oilspot:maine.craigslist.org link
What a deal!
I'm thinking it should go back into the barn.
Quoted from CoolCatPinball:What a bargain!![quoted image]
PRICE DROP! Only $5999 now.
Quoted from Mikala:You don’t see this everyday. $1,000 Star Explorer.
milwaukee.craigslist.org link
But hey, it’s a “A unique find for the collector.” That’s what makes THIS Star Explorer worth at least $1K.
Quoted from pencilneck:PRICE DROP! Only $5999 now.

Thought I’d never sell mine. But at $5,999, maybe. Lol
Quoted from SDpinballer:Maybe I just don’t get it. Didn’t dissect these but they appear to be the same? But different price, different listing details, different pictures, different time, same room, same spot. Hmmmmmmm...[quoted image]
The one powered on is $100 higher. To show a pin with power costs money you know

...and it looks like he may have inadvertently sold the IM that was sitting next to it in the first photo.
Quoted from Barr993:Really?

I like the "attempt" at concealing the original price.
Quoted from Barr993:Really?

Because they say it’s still “New in box”.
Some games are worth a lot if the have never been opened....I really don’t think this is one of them.
An original Super Mario Bros for the NES (a stand alone game cartridge, not the one that came with most of the NES’s that had other games like Duck Hunt included) that had never been opened and was in pristine condition sold for over 100k. If I remember correctly, this version of SMB was only available in the New York area when Nintendo was doing limited sales of the NES for the US market.
So now some people see an unopened old game and see dollar signs.
Quoted from fisherdaman:only 800 for this turd...

Just a little backglass touchup and that baby will look just like NIB!
