And that's the "rare" backglass version that has the girl with a full-body leopard-print tattoo...

Quoted from jeffmd72:3k for a Space Shittle with a roached playfield - WOW, what a deal! I got screwed buying it from Amini's, so I'm going to pass the screwing on to you!
Actually $3K for a Space Shuttle in "perfect condition" is not a terrible deal.
You just need to have a different idea of "perfect".
Quoted from Diospinball:Well you know... At my age. It happens.... Ohhhh ohhh the pinball flippers. Oh yes. Those are drooping.. Yes, that is what I meant.
You know you are old when what used to be easy is now hard, and what used to be hard is now soft...
Quoted from pencilneck:The less paint the back glass the better... easier to tell if a bulb is out.
And if the playfield is missing, you never have to worry about dimpling...
Quoted from rennervision:I kept reading "I have the original manual in plastic and all the keys, etc." wondering when did Bally stop printing plastic manuals?
Well, his machine may not be rare, but a plastic manual would be...

*Adams* you too, can have a True collector quality with just a new decal. (see pic) right.
Not sure why you would need a decal...a black sharpie can fix up that lettering real easy. 
Quoted from undrdog:It’s in the True Collector bylaws, para III, sec. 2, Decals.
I think you need to send a copy of that to HEP. They seem to be doing things the hard way.
Quoted from uphamj:Whats up with trading for golf balls? I did not know that was a thing.
Sure, washed golf balls...same as cash.
I have 4000+ maple leaves...original condition...will trade for MMr or Ferrari...no low ballers.
Purchaser will need to remove the leaves from my front lawn.

Are you implying that this might be a scam...?
I find it perfectly reasonable that he has 50 Indiana Jones machines in South Africa that he is willing to sell for $200 each. Sure, the picture he provides is of a couple of EM machines, but that's probably just because it would be hard to show 50 IJ machines in one image.
I'm sending him my bank account number and PIN, just in case he needs extra money for shipping.
Quoted from ThatOneDude:I've never seen this version of Fish Tales.
[quoted image]
That's the Limited Edition version.

Quoted from lb1:sfbay.craigslist.org link
"One owner for the past 15 years who cared for the game well"
Apparently did not notice the game's missing a leg bolt!
[quoted image]
The leg bolts are not really needed...they don't affect the motion of the ball.

Quoted from Nazz26:Lol. I have a VERY RARE Zizzle POTC stored in my attic for over 12 years. I need to find the for legs(I think the wife threw them out during a spring cleaning). Straight on eBay if I can only find the legs.
How about...
"Ultra-rare plastic POTC pinball machine, one of only a few made without legs. Also, no fussy coin mechanisms to mess with. Much less costly to ship than those needlessly heavy wooden machines. $2499."
Quoted from PappaDubz:orangecounty.craigslist.org link
Just think how much more he would be asking if the displays were working right...
Yes, and it's "a genuine 1977 Evel Kneivel upright pinball".
Good that it's genuine, because there are so many cheap forgeries floating around...
Quoted from freeplay3:I got a BoP. Buy it today and I will knock 10k off the price.
I doubt that yours is the rare "chrome edition"...

Quoted from GlassManCometh:If you don't like forum threads just move on from that thread. No need to leave a story bitching at everyone else for bitching lol
Of course, if you don't like threads with people bitching about other people bitching about bitching in threads...just ignore them...no reason to bitch about it.

It's a strange world we live in where Bally Playboys are worth $7K, and Data East Tommys are free...

Quoted from undrdog:No other pictures, so we don’t know if that is for the game or just the backglass. Picture says $2,500, but the auction details want $15,000.
I’ll sell mine for $15,000. No, really.
I've played your Heat Wave. It's not worth a penny over $12,000. Seems like you're just looking for a sucker...
Quoted from undrdog:No, but you are welcome to come play it. Always glad to meet new pinball friends.
Was that not your Heat Wave that was at BOS pinball lounge? I assumed it was. Maybe it IS worth $15K then...
And yes, would be nice to meet up at some point when this whole Covid thing calms down.

Quoted from Dono:I know, not Craigslist but I couldn't resist... I love WMS Gulfstream, it was my first pin purchase in 1986 and I still have it today but geez 3K and no decent pix to see how much of a stretch the price really is?
https://pinside.com/pinball/market/classifieds/ad/111046
Well, it comes with extra fuses...and he DID include a picture of those.
Quoted from undrdog:From Offer Up. open box never used. Wonder if they still have it... shipping cost is very reasonable.
[quoted image]
"Vegas style pinball machine"...is that like Chicago style pizza?
This is the thread to laugh at ridiculously over-priced machines listed on Craigslist and/or Facebook.
And you posted a bunch of over-priced machines for sale...so, I guess it IS on topic...or something.

Quoted from PghPinballRescue:“Perfect operating condition” usually means the flippers work, it shoots out a ball, it scores and makes sounds.
That's pretty hopeful...more like "switch turns on, something lights up, and ball is (mostly) still round."

Quoted from ForceFlow:When I started reading the comment, I thought it sounded reasonable. Then I scrolled down and saw the price. lol
Yeah, he knows it's not worth that much, but is hoping that he can stumble into somebody who has more dollars than sense.
