    Attention all bargain hunters (or maybe I don't understand the demand for Target Alpha and Capt Fantastic):

    stockton.craigslist.org link

    $4,300
    Will consider breaking up Pkg. Call for individual prices.
    Black Knight
    Target Alpha
    Capt. Fantastic (Elton John X rated backboard)

    Quoted from cosmokramer:

    Time Warp Pinball $1770.00

    This one cracked me up too. Double what most would pay unless it's a very clean machine.

    Quoted from Cheddar:

    Wow, so much wear

    Nah, just retheme it...Dirty Aces!

    Looks like someone has finally had it with NorCal CL:

    From the posting
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------
    Let me just start by saying:

    Terminator 2 $3000.
    Arnold Schwarzenegger and Steve Ritchie better be delivering it together, then leave me the pick slip to the delivery truck and walk home. Did Skynet send this machine into the future off the production line in 1991.

    Dr Dude $1820
    I'm going to need a Doctor. Dude, cause the price is making me sick. Just lower it already so we don't have to keep seeing that ad.

    X-Files $2750
    When posting pictures could you please use the actual photo of the item being sold. We assume for that price the one your selling is new in a box, right?

    Fair description and price, but got to love the cabinet and this write up: sfbay.craigslist.org link

    00707_2Lx0D1yJovN_600x450.jpg00707_2Lx0D1yJovN_600x450.jpg

    "This particular machine is somewhat rough. If you're looking for an inexpensive solid-state pinball machine, this is great; if you're looking for a machine to restore, this isn't the one. There is playfield wear, the cabinet has been repainted, and the back cabinet has been repaired from some sort of impact. However, in its favor, the previous owner installed an LED lighting kit, and the hard-to-find central plastic ramp is intact. Most importantly, everything does work, though a couple of the score displays are getting weak.

    What the heck. It's a working pinball machine!"

    Yeah, the poster's name is the same guy that posted the other beware ads for MB. Seem to be a professional "beware" poster.

    Quoted from xTheBlackKnightx:

    One more, this person supposedly is selling a Stern "Pirates of the Caribbean" pinball machine for $50.
    Yeah, right. Well, I guess it is possible, maybe he stole it?
    Unfortunately, he does not check his email, and has no contact phone number to text.
    So, how is a person to reach him, again?

    The number is in the Reply info and he never says Stern, its a zizzle or some variant. Depending on whats wrong with it, it's actually a good deal.

    While I agree that HUO doesn't necessarily mean diddly, it usually implies lower plays then you would see on a route. I would never pay more for routed vs huo, I pay based on condition, regardless of where it's been. So I guess I don't mind it as its not diff then someone saying that the machine looks "good" which is also very subjective.

    Well, maybe not regardless of where its been, lol
