I always want to ask these people to define RARE. I saw a RARE Zizzle on ebay today and could only shake my head at it.
Quoted from SoFarFetched:ebay.com link
Don't think they understand their pricing. Why would someone pay 4.5k on a machine that needs cleaning,servicing,and who knows how many things replaced. It's too bad because this is near me and this is actually a pinball I'm looking for.

that would be frustrating...

Confirmed production 17,410 = RARE

Don't you guys know that all pinball machines are quite rare!!!!
I swear, almost every pinball listing I read on craigslist, offerup, or ebay has rare in it. I myself don't even really consider a run of 1k that rare, because give it a month or two and you'll find one bouncing around trying to be offloaded.

Always cracks me up seeing that on Ebay, along with 5 other examples.
"Rare"

I offered $500. He declined my offer 
Every offer for a "rare" pin ad shoud have the production run included.
Good morning, my offer for the 14,535 units made rare Fish Tales you have up for sale is $2500.

Yeah... Rare... Only around 7,000 produced... Very rare indeed... A good game... And maybe for around 700-1200 dollars I'd consider buying one. I don't like the theme, but I really like how it shoots. Again... These people are like its pinball it must be rare.

Very rare must be the new "barn find" need to start using that in my ads.
Quoted from JethroP:I sold my VERY NICE Bow and Arrow last year for $700 and considered that top dollar.
Well clearly you did not list it as a RARE VINTAGE pin! 
Quoted from pinfixer:This is a rare Bow and Arrow![quoted image]
Took me a second to realize it was a solid state... Very nice...
DO you know how the rules differ? If they do indeed differ... Sometimes the solid states had a slightly deeper ruleset. Just curious is all.
I've never owned or played a EM B&A, so I can't say for sure. However I have had a lot of people play this one and no one has ever mentioned any difference rules wise. I also have an EM Blackjack and the rules are identical as the solid state. 22 solid state B&A were made, and Bally dismantled 11 of them to use as spare parts for the remaining 11. I can account for about 7 survivors. It's a great game and even though a prototype it's equally as robust as any later solid state Bally to follow. I personally think it's one of the fastest playing games in my collection.

Yeah, as I said above I like Bow and Arrow. Fun game. Love the spinners on it. Very good layout, shoots really good. What more do you need in a pinball machine.
Hey, you can’t say this guy isn’t specific on what he is willing to trade for

Finally that Escalade 3rd row seat I’ve been saving is going to pay out proper

Really sorry you lost $3,800 on that one.
Quoted from GPS:Well it’s not Craigslist exactly but hopefully it fits they category. Seems a bit high for an em that is not working????[quoted image]
but the condition is rated as Fair...
Jeez... If a nonworking pinball can be rated as fair... Then I'd hate to know what acceptable would be listed as in this sellers opinion.
on facebook in Detroit
Chicago Coins Casino $300 was 400 started at 1000
fully functional...needs a bumper fixed, small repair to bottom needed ... no key to coin box...
left in old house I purchased....wife wants it gone.
Seriously you got it for FREE and the cabinet is blown out, if it was worth moving the previous owner would have taken it with them.

Never seen that title for sale before and from what we can see in the picture looks ok, in the ballpark at any rate.
That TAF wanted ad makes me want to offer the same in that area, but up to $4500 paid.
Two can play that game pal!

Do it. I will offer up to 4700 
The good deals never end in the northwest!
He knows it’s “one of the very first computers made” and that “other similar models I have seen listed for $10,000 plus”!
By similar $10,000 models I’m guessing he meant a brand new stern LE machine???
I’d love to sell this guy a Geo Metro for $50,000 cause ya know similar model Mercedes Benz go for $100,000 plus!

Another feature not mentioned is it has an amazing ability to be out of focus!
You'd think for 7k he'd at least supply the balls... Cos I mean at that price he really should have balls to spare, considering the pair he has for thinking that machine of his will ship for that price.

Hey look, it works alrite? It doesn't have any balls and it needs a power cord, but it's the first ever computer and random number generator!!!
This guy seems like a kook.

Not really,... but the Electronic Bow & Arrow does play very fast.
"slightly deeper ruleset." ... coin options? / test features ?/ replay level?.

Fast is good... I always liked the way the EM one plays. I got to play it 2 different times at 2 different expos. Both machines were in good shape. I would love one day to have a whole row of just em machines... But, don't have the room... And with some of these ebay and craigslist prices, definitely not at those prices!!!!!
Quoted from wolfemaaan:Only $1,234,567,890

"serious enquirers only"
His prices are not too crazy. Definitely on the higher end. Without better pics and maybe a little power, I could get a better feel.
Screenshot_20191129-201953_Chrome (resized).jpgI saw that same firepower add on Facebook market. Idk how it’s “easily” a 3,000 game when it regularly goes for around 1000 in decent condition
