Quoted from 0geist0:That's a member on here, Turboderf. he's a great guy and honest to deal with.
That's cool, just the odd expression on his face made me laugh! Looks like he's freaked out, someone told him he had to stand next to the pins.
I'm not photogenic either, usually takes a couple dozen to get something decent... Get a better one of him!

All the dents in the coin door add to the "rareness".
$4500? Unrestored condition? Oh this is just......I just can't. SMDH.
Quoted from SirScott:Separated at birth?
LOL, is that a Gold Wings topper?

For that price the seller can't get a "7" drop target to match the set?

Hey, the burnt 40 pin connector adds to the enjoyment of repairs.
While not craiglist I almost died this morning choking on my cereals

That's insane... The best original KISS I have ever seen (which looked factory new) was $7,000 and I thought that was a stretch.
Quoted from ToucanF16:He must be selling it to buy crack at that price!
Cocaine at that price.
Quoted from JellyNeck:Cocaine at that price.
You are actually not far off.
Mexico prices for a kg of Cocaine are around $14K.
PNW is around $22K.
Lot of snorting going on in the hobby these days.
Mostly to feed the habit.

Quoted from Goronic:Dafuk?
Counter trafficking narcotics work through DoD, DoS, and DHS for pricing.
Interdiction work in Central America to prevent crossover to Mexico.
Virtually impossible based on multiple methods and volume, predominantly due to over 70% of the consumption is in the United States.
Last part was a pun joke.
The real interesting part is you can make a lot of money in this area, scary profits from the raw processed product.
Not relevant for this posting.
Of course, "Dance with the devil, at your own risk, in the Twilight Zone."
Maybe there is a stash of reimport pinball machines left in South America that could capitalized instead?
Current market rise would warrant massive container buys again, and you could find the games, even if just for the boards.

Thanks for clearing that up 
Why do people advertise a machine on craigslist and the reply is a E-mail and never return your response. After two sent E-mails I won't respond anymore. There is no machine I will beg for. I feel like sending a third reply saying take your machine turn it sideways and stick it up your ass. If it's sold take the add down or at least respond with four letters sold!
Quoted from MRudowsky:I hear you. I have that same problem here on Pinside. Very frustrating.
Or they list a machine and you are the first to respond with a "I will take it" then they have many more responses, decide they priced it to low and then want to turn it into a quasi EBay.

That happened to me recently with a Swords of Fury. Very frustrating.

The one in Erie? I saw the price and assumed something fishy or a scam.
Quoted from Coyo5050:The one in Erie? I saw the price and assumed something fishy or a scam.
Yup. Thought I was going to get one of those legendary deals, but noooo, someone had to ruin it for me. 
Quoted from Number41:Lockdown bar sold separately.

My best offer would be way south of the asking price.

ebay.com link: 1990 Data East Simpsons Pinball Machine Replacement Bart Simpson Sign
Data East Simpsons pinball topper, $300. "I have not been able to find another one online to compare prices".....Really?? I immediately found two that came up in the same ebay search as yours for less than 40 bucks each.
Quoted from Spider3582:3500.00 and it needs a complete restoration. Where did he come up with that price. He has no idea
He wants that amount for a machine that was left behind by the previous owner of the house. w
What does that tell you?
Sure! there's someone that will haul off your junk and pay you a lot of money! 
Both light up. Both don't play. Can't find the keys to get into them.
...but you better hurry to get these broken machines for 1k each before they get fixed and put on eBay!

I read that ad as 1k for both unless he fixes them, then 1k for each.
Bally Freedom $1200
Great condition
Very little use
Playing field is nice
I have tape over two of the drops on the field cause ball gets stuck and doesn't pop out
Easy fix
I guess that's one way to fix a problem.

From craigslist detroit metro:
me me me I'll trade...
1969 Corvette Convertible, was a 350ci 350hp, car was in fire, engine caught on fire. Frame is perfect, convertible top is good, except canvas, bumpers good, engine and trans not included, was a 4-speed, has Title and tag, First $4500 takes it. Call
Quoted from Travish:Wow! his restoration included waxing the playfield.
He's obviously very meticulous. I bet his resto also included a thorough dusting and plugging the plug into an outlet.

That's a crying shame there.
"Convertible top is good, except canvas" My favorite line.

Kinda like saying " tires in great shape... except they are melted and wont hold air..."

It's not. The eBay one didn't look as good, the sellers grammar and spelling was horrible and he's in San Pedro Ca.
That one looks nice, but he didn't list a price and used the "R" word.

"Please reach out if you are interested in this game. I am asking $6,500 but I am open to offers or possible trade for a decent RV, or Corvette. I will personally warranty this game for 90 days in the Bay Area."
Wow, what a deal. You could even trade your Corvette for this F-14 Tomcat that is a total beater.
Price police needed. Is this a good deal???

You can fit a bunch of those in one room. That is the apartment game room model.
