Anyone get that players condition Taxi that was posted on Craigslist Sunday for $1000? (near Allentown)
Seemed like a scam, but seller did respond. I was ghosted shortly thereafter.
I suspect someone offered him over asking price and just sold it.
Are there any honorable sellers anymore?
Quoted from cmack750:Didn't see this posting specifically, but I've had a couple really lucky finds through Craigslist. When the price is really low, I find it's just about impossible to make a deal (or even get a response) unless the seller provides a contact phone number. Honestly, almost not worth even trying. If you receive 30 email responses from people saying that they'll take it and half of those offer more than asking, I'm sure it's tough to not entertain the higher offer when you see all those responses in your inbox at once.
If I can get them to answer the phone I try to handle everything in one call: get an agreement for the sale/price, a date/time for pickup and their address.
Most people at least seem pretty honorable about sticking to their word once they've agreed.... Or maybe they just don't want upset people they don't know showing up at their house.
But no matter how you slice it, if the price is really low, you gotta be really quick and you have to assume some level of risk that the machine isn't going to be exactly as it's described and be willing to buy it as-is....because while you are trying to get there, the seller has likely had additional interest at or above their asking price and if so, you probably aren't talking them down if it's not in the exact condition you expected.
Last machine I got on CL for a sweet deal: in the 40 minutes I was at the sellers house breaking it down and loading it in my car, the seller had 7 people call saying they'd take it or offering more money. That's just the way it goes these days....
The first thing that came to mind when I got no 2nd response was that a higher offer came in and he took it.
Fair game if buyer responded before I did.
Dickish move otherwise

Quoted from sbmania:Thanks for the heads up. I earlier sent an email asking how much, but have yet to get an answer. Why do people do such stupid crap?
I suspect the same reason a seller makes a deal to sell a machine then decides to change their mind and sell to someone else
They either get their jollies from it or just don’t care

I love mine. Hope you find one. They seem to be very scarce.

Quoted from the96stang:The price this game commands now is insane.
Just my opinion, but having played it, it’s an awful awful game.

Quoted from jcar302:Any with hundred pockets in the corners?
This is the one I have, because the original skee ball were scarce. I’m very happy with it. I don’t know the seller but he’s in Branchville, NJ
