    Give it time. You’ll find way worse.

    It has pictures and isn't 4,000% overpriced.

    Note to seller: It is not cosmetically great. I bought an Alien Poker in that condition and have felt the need to do a full cosmetic restoration, including a playfield swap.

    It is potentially in ‘great playable’ condition. Our Alien Poker was very playable… Ugly pin that works can often be better than a beautiful non-worker.

    At least the planking is evenly Distributed over the entire playfield.

    But I've seen much worse... this is a solid looking resto project for $700.

    This is my favorite part:

    Still, not even close to the worst ad ever, though.

    Solid but yeah it’s old, not the worst, far from it

    I don’t think it means what he thinks it means.

    Definitely, this game has never been on route!
    Please ignore the oxidation only in the center of the coin return tray, which definitely doesn't line up with how people would touch it with their fingers when retrieving rejected quarters.

    You never saw the ad for this one. https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/for-sale-toy-story-4-le-12 It was so bad it has been scrubbed from pinside (not in archives) but the comments remain and are a gold mine.

    Are you familiar with the term "IMAMACULATE"? Researching where this beautiful misspelling came from might change your thoughts on the standard for a bad ad.

    A brand new user posting nothing but an ad that’s overpriced and promises more than it delivers?

    Par for the course, my friend.
