Quoted from pinnyheadhead:The seller says
"It's killing me to have to sell it. It was gifted to me by the make a wish foundation."
So a bunch of the Make a Wish gifts just end up on Craigslist?
Maybe it was her kid's wish to have a pinball machine. Maybe that kid died.
Quoted from practicalsteve:Ouch! That's some dark humor right there!
It wasn't a joke.
Quoted from practicalsteve:Then I guess you're just morbid?
No, just answering that person's question in earnest. The Make a Wish foundation deals with children with life-threatening conditions, and arranges to help them see their dreams through. The person before me was questioning why these things would end up on Craigslist.

Williams TAXI Pinball Machine with Marilyn, not Lola - $3000
"One of only 200 built, Williams Taxi pinball with Marilyn. Only 200 produced and 99%+ were exported. Rumor has it only two remained here in the states."
I've been tempted to list my Marilyn for 2200 just to see if I could get any bites. What a bargain! 1 of only 2 at an $800 discount!

Actually, that is a rare prototype. You can tell by the playfield, the blue normally surrounding just the characters toward the front of the playfield extends all the way back, and the topper looks like one I've seen on a different sample/prototype Taxi. Slightly different art on the translite as well.
