it is listed in lots, in the Oklahoma Craig's list
Darn I wish I could have got it but the good ones are gone already and marked as SOLD. 
So many EM's and at a great price.
Quoted from RCA1:Um.... NO.
Same guy that has had the non-working Atari Superman on CL for $1,500 for about a year. Keeps threatening to fix it and raise the price if no one buys it. Good luck with that.
I offered him a legit $300 bucks for that Kiss over a year ago. He gets all mad and quite vulgar. He bought it sight unseen trying to do a quick flip a couple of years ago and was taken to the cleaners on it. It's a total mess, some good parts and plastics.

Maybe there is enough stuff in there that you, the talented pinball repairman, can create a perfect working machine. Talented in that regard, I am not. Therefore, this machine must now go."

Bally loved that table setup! I squint and I can see my 'ol Time Zone play field.
I only list it because I don't have a truck yet to carry it and getting off work to drive 4 states over isn't easy either. But when I do watch out! 
The pin looks good at closer look and not much that I can see (wear spots) but some clean up.
This lot includes the following machines. The pinball machines have not yet been tested. I will eventually test them all, but I wanted to get the word out in case someone wants to check them out before I go through them. I am open to offers on individual pinball machines. Feel free to ask any questions, but I am not too familiar with pinball machines in general. They are all in a very accessible garage. Sold as is. I can help load them. Thanks for looking!!

It's a scam ad. The locations change, but it otherwise basically remains the same.
Quoted from ForceFlow:It's a scam ad. The locations change, but it otherwise basically remains the same.
I should write back:
I am the laywer for the Nigerian Prince Mohammed Abu. His excellency is expanding the game room of the royal palace and seeks to purchase large quantities of games sight unseen. He is willing to pay 150% of your asking price for the games, but due to some civil unrest cannot have anyone associated to the throne on the import manifests. He will pay the actual freight costs plus $5,000 for your time to arrange the shipment...
etc etc
I'm sure someone else could do better, but you get the drift.

What is that behind the games, with the molded people? 
Quoted from RCA1:What is that behind the games, with the molded people?
I just posted it, not the seller. I did check to see if that was an EM Dragon, but no it isn't. 
Anatomy of a questionable, SCAM, ad:

available up to 30 pins and i have plans to reimport again from europe. If you are you interested in restoring machines?

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"project pinball machines available now."
It's all too common these days - improper capitalization. It's not a red flag by itself but one more nail in the 'scam' coffin.
"Some are in good shape and working condition others need full restoration
available up to 30 pins and i have plans to reimport again from europe."
This sounds too good to be true. 'Too good to be true' usually is! This technique is used to suck in the unwary and wishful-thinking looking for a bargain. Also, that is one nasty run-on sentence! 
"If you are you interested in restoring machines?"
Huh? 
The OP is lacking in the skills of the English, methinks! This is a red flag for foreign scams!
"SEGA
STERN
BALL
WILLIAM
GOTLIEB
DATA EAST
etc"
Capital letters and name dropping are used to impress. The OP misspelled Bally, Williams AND Gottlieb!!! 
He really knows his pinball manufacturers, doesn't he?! 
"Note that maybe display locally but the pins are in MN. I will be traveling to NY on sunday, maybe someone is interested in some of the pins"
Out of area!! OP will probably ask you to send money. Never send money! 
Out of area is a red flag for a scam!!
Again, the OP uses poor English. The above mess is three complete sentences, not two. Also, there is continued improper use of capitalization.
Avoid these type of Craigslist ads!

Could be woodworms.
Either way, that game isn't one that's probably worthwhile to mess with.
