Quoted from radial_head:So who's gonna bring up the elephant in the room?
What's the skinny on that $1k Fish Tales. Scam? Someone already grab it? Who knows what's up?
Sent a message early this morning. No reply. If it sounds too good to be true...
1: It either got bid up to some ridiculous amount,
or,
2: the seller was likely inundated with offers and has since retracted...
Quoted from Rapid_Roy:...If it sounds too good to be true...
It probably is.
Quoted from CubeSnake:^^100% agree^^ Sadly, there are many out there who do exactly this. Some are even on this forum. Cockhead move, to be sure, but one never forgets.
I've been looking for a Metallica Premium for awhile now,and I'm willing to travel for it. But what concerns me is ,what if the seller sells it to someone else after I traveled ten hours or more. 
Quoted from barakawins:New sales price on Fishtales is around $1k I guess... Is that right?
My buddy Charlie told me I need to be competitive with my pricing when I put my FT up for sale so I guess I'll have to list it at $999.

Good price.. Very good. Good thinking!
Going to be listing a nice project Meteor with new CPR playfield and new parts for the swap. Also including new 555 lamp boards. Asking 2k for everything.
Bally Space Invaders. Plays 100%. Cabinet 9/10 backglass 10/10. Cleaned and new rubbers. Typical horseshoe wear/rollover wear but has factory mylar and colors pop. IMO it would be an easy waterslide decal /touch up job. Game rocks. 1950
FYI on fish tales it was posted to facebook as well, seller noted "pending pickup" in thread.. someone on FB likely grabbed. I was in on pinside 10 mins after post, not in time.
Quoted from Don44:How rude of guy to not answer the 3 or 4 pms he must have got to say it was spoken for.
I think you meant to say how rude of him not to answer the 30 or 40 pms. LOL

Well hopefully someone got it that actually wanted a FT, and they are even more ecstatic getting an awesome deal.
These days though...probably not. Some fucking flipper probably grabbed it. They will change the slingshot rubbers and say they shopped it, and list it for 3500.

You can look at someone's ratings/feedback to get a good idea of their integrity or ask for a reference. The opposite can happen and it did on mine. I got a deposit but then he found one closer to him and bought that instead. He was a good communicator and I sent him his deposit back with no hard feelings. I had another commitment on bksor and the same thing happened this morning but this one was going to be shipped at 450.00+ for shipping. He found a NIB with free shipping. I told him I would go in that direction if it were me. That machine will be gone tonight to another buyer who is local with cash. It's just the nature of the beast. Your risk of getting burned is pretty low on in person deals so I would say trust your gut and feedback from others.

Here's one that is less than mine. I think this is Ben who is a well respected collector around here:

Well this seems like a good time to post that I’m looking for a fishtales within driving distance from Lunenburg Ma. Missing that one hurts ,but I’ll pay the right price for the right game . Who’s got one? I’d trade my monopoly, party zone , or DE Jurassic park also if any interest

Well just know that when I eventually list my FT for sale or trade, it's not this FT. I'd hate to be accused of being that f'ing flipper! Jeez!

It's actually Bruce N who is equally if not more respected here in the Rochester area
Known Bruce shit going in 20yrs
Never a sour deal ever
Good people right there
Always a blast to talk to
And a hell of a player
If I had the cash and room I wouldn’t hesitate to buy it

Well, to be fair it has a "bolt stripped so head won't go down", sometimes shoot new balls into play and a few lights out. Seems like a lot of work. I countered with $900.

I messaged him. No response of course
Quoted from sagejr:I think you meant to say how rude of him not to answer the 30 or 40 pms. LOL
I know, I was kidding, he probably got over 100. I can't believe what fish tales is going for these days. I used to suggest it as a bang for buck pin.
WTB Avatar LE or KISS pro relatively close to Boston. Can come pick up, pay cash, make you dinner and mow your lawn if it helps get the deal done
Beautiful Oktoberfest with side art, shaker, knocker, topper with back lighting kit. Looks like it just came out of the box only better with all the add ones. Looking for trade ideas.
Ideal trades would involve Elvira HoH, Batman 66 or Munsters Premium color edition. Open to other ideas as well.
I have a Valley Spectra IV I’d like to trade. Game is in working condition with a clean MPU. I’m open to trade offers. Let me know what you got.
Long shot..anyone have a pingraffix funhouse retro style apron they'd sell? I sold mine with the last funhouse and now ya can't get them new. I'd buy and include my stock apron if someone want to go with the original look again.
Reposting as my previous post was removed for not having created an official pinside ad for LOTR.
Quoted from TheFamilyArcade:Nevermind.
What’d ya get?
Quoted from nerdygrrl:I have a friend from NJ coming out to Western, MA next weekend who is looking for a Star Trek Next Gen if anyone is thinking about parting with one.
Reconsider your friends.... Nothing good comes from NJ 
Quoted from yzfguy:Reconsider your friends.... Nothing good comes from NJ
Which finally explains why I have no friends.

IDK, he seems to know where all the best sandwich and pizza shops are so it seems like he's worth keeping around.
Quoted from mbl1116:What’d ya get?
Nothing yet.
I’m going to be putting up my 2001 soon. Rebuilt flippers, chime unit, new target faces, new legs. Someone tried their hand at repainting the cabinet at one point. It looks decent considering. I’ll put the ad up later on today or tonight. I’ll be sure to donate if it sells through here.

Have a freshly shopped and cleaned Game plan star trip cocktail pinball up for trade or sale. ads coming soon pm with interest or offers.
That FIRE! and Pinbot are back up for sale on FB mrkt in NY from the same sellers. I’ve caught them in numerous lies, and they refuse to send pictures of the boards (or lack there-of). Don’t even bother with these clowns, or better yet everyone go send them a message saying you’ll offer $5k for both if they just take the ad down haha.
