    Quoted from bob_e:

    1977 Evel Knievel Pinball Machine-Rare - $4500
    1977 Evel Knievel Pinball machine . I have been told that this pinball machine is a possible prototype because of Serial # EEK1374. Others have sold for much more in not as good of condition. Very few were made with only one coin slot up to 4 players. Excellent original condition with original manual. Everything works including coin box. Well taken care of. Serious inquiries only. Cash only
    Production: 14,000 units = RARE
    So who told him that it may be a prototype?

    The best part is now there is another Evel Knievel pin that shows up right next to it for 40% of the price in the same condition (also with a "bally coin box & 2 coin mechs")

    Quoted from swillie:

    So question is does the seller finally ever delete the add...

    The listing is gone. More importantly it won't get reposted 3 times a day for the next 6 months

    The best part of the transaction was when she asked if I was a big Johnny Depp fan.....?????

    Luckily Facebook market isn't "on the internet" or this guy would be losing $1500 . . .

    Facebook fun, alongside with 3 eBay listings to justify the price. Check out that playfield; "not too shabby"

    OP: "In Working order
    Back part and legs have been disconnected
    To make transportation easier!
    $2500"

    1) the price
    2) "in working order" but I've taken it apart so you can't verify it plays. "BUT IT'S EASY TO MOVE!!"

    Quoted from Mikala:

    I did not realize this thing was so small.

    That video looks like a different game with the same name. The one on legs is about twice the size. Still runs on batteries and is plastic crap, but larger.

    Quoted from bob_e:

    4 games pictured for $100,000 seller states: "I'm not giving them away"

    Probably not too far off from 40-45 with those 9 games though

    cfh posts the same title at 50% the price of a game that has been reposted every 5 days for months on end. It might have been unintentional, but I like the ", working" vs the ", collectible" in the CL titles.

    Quoted from bob_e:

    cfh posts games to sell, and price is fair

    Yep, totally agree. I saw the on beam posted a week ago!! The laugh is more about the Commerce guy who just keeps repeatedly posting it at the same price 2x market.

    Quoted from Manny10:

    If you do not like the price of something, then just don't buy it, and just stop bitching about it ...

    This isn’t really the price police thread, it’s the laughs. Ridiculous listings or total odd-ball postings that are so off the wall they deserve to be shared.

    We all like to peruse Craigslist and Facebook for deals and when those are in short supply, why not discuss the 10k zizzle retro-fitted with LEDs?

    OP: - gottlieb jumping jack pinball machine, working when stored now comes on but doesn't cycle comes with extremely hard to find original schematics *$best offer.*

    Me:

    1. How do you call out the original schematics but not the "Extremely rare, customized backglass"?
    2. I feel like this backglass has been featured in a Pinside thread already or am I having deja vu?
    3. Craigslist auctions are fun bidding against whatever bids the seller comes up with

    Read that description and then take a look at those flippers

    The additional art work on the cabinet looks really good, but not sure that 10x the value of what appears to be a non-function game.

    Oh wait. This coin door mod is worth 5k at least
