"...it has instant reactions and sounds from the bumpers, kickers, and slingshots."
I bet it has instant reactions from potential buyers, too - "Hey! Your asking price is ridiculous!"
Quoted from Pinballsoul:Frankinpin? "custom" work. Yes it is.

They customized the shit out of that poor thing

At least it is not a coffee table.
Quoted from gdonovan:At least it is not a coffee table.
Oh it will be. It will be .
That's just wrong ....are you serious wrong........or kinda like when your wife asks "What's wrong with you ?
Quoted from Pinballsoul:Jump on that. Take a gun to pick it up.
And about 4 friends with guns.
And it's 'New'... imagine that he has a NEW 1996 machine. How special is that???
Seriously, this scam gets old quick, but then again, there are so many suckers in the general USA that might waste there time trying to get this ficticious $100 machine.

LOL, I'm surprised it didn't say "Bring large, unmarked bills."
Same guy was listed here a few pages ago, if you respond he simply sends you a PayPal invoice for $100.

Not CL but gave me a chuckle nonetheless
THESE PLAYFIELDS ARE OFTEN TORN TO SHREDS BUT NOT THIS BABY
Playfield is all beat to shit. They want $2500

"NO TRADES, unless you have factory-sealed ammunition in the most common calibers. I don't want a used pinball machine, several packs of tortillas or a few raccoon pelts in trade. CASH ONLY. NO CHANGE WILL BE MADE."

Tell him to deliver it to the tenderloin at 3:30am for an additional 1000

It’ll probably be gone before a blink of an eye at that price!
Quoted from the9gman:wow for 11,5 he should at least offer free shipping
Yeah, well maybe he'll just raise the price another 500 and include free shipping (to the lower 48 only).
Crazy priced advertisements used to catch my eye and make me laugh, but I am over it. The best part of capitalism is that people will pay what it is worth to them. In these cases, the likelihood is nobody will pay that much, and after a while of no bids, a dose of reality will set in. They will realize that their pricing is way off and do some research to figure out FMV, then make adjustments if they really want to clear it out (or they will continue to pile old boxes and junk on the glass and leave it in the corner of their garage or basement collecting dust for another 20 years...)
Now imagine the price if they had been told by someone that the "silverballs" were actually made of silver!
Quoted from Markharris2000:, and after a while of no bids, a dose of reality will set in
You clearly haven't followed this long enough.
Boy oh boy. This one is hard to pass up.
Disassembled, flaking glass, missing insert.
Ya never know what kind of goodies are inside.
All yours for the low price of 400.

I sold a perfectly operating one in great shape for 500 delivered 2 years ago.

I offered him a crisp 100 dollar bill for it just to have another project to practice on.

dpool (resized).jpgThat thing is amazing lol as a glass artist that has spent way to long ruining a days work by slapping a glass penis on the side of it or spending 4 hours to make a bad ass marshmallow roaster just for laughs i get it.

That looks a hell of a lot better than a lot of other modded machines that I've seen. It's quite well done whether you like the guy or not.

Never said anything about not liking or liking the guy. 
There is a thread here about the build of that machine.

This might be the one.

This is roughly 17 times what I paid for mine last year. I don't know if there has been a price inflation ratio I have ever seen that is quite this high. I think the owner of this one is here on Pinside?
Five thousand American dollars?

That's super weird, this eBay seller is either posing as Betson Enterprises or this is ACTUALLY Betson's eBay page. You could literally call them up and buy the same machines at a reasonable (edit: correct price, I shouldn't say reasonable lol) price (https://www.betson.com/amusement-products/deadpool-le-pinball/). The hell is happening here???? I am going to call then tomorrow and ask, this is kind of shady.

I'm pretty sure kaneda mentioned this guy on his latest show. If it is the same person, he's cashing out on a bunch of LE NIB games with absurd asking prices

ACTUALLY cashing out or just ASKING the absurd prices?

Yikes, I got one in pretty solid shape (some flaking in the backglass and minor playfield wear, but otherwise plays perfectly) for $400 last year. That one is atrociously mangled.
