This would be worth a look - I'm moving house and sorry to say, will have to be selling a couple of machines, rather than adding!

Condition: "Approximately 3 to 4 years ago we had the machines refurbished and he thoroughly went through them both, and they were working exceptionally well. They do need some TLC repair work at this time and do not run as well when it's cold. The graphics are still in pretty good condition as well as the glass.

It's a toy / home version. Not a full coin-op pin.
Quoted from ForceFlow:It's a toy / home version. Not a full coin-op pin.
That is true. However, I did a service call on one many years ago and the wife of the
deceased husband was an engineer, he basically pimped it out with a bridge rectifier and
a bunch of electronic modifications.
The wife wanted something from him that she could pass down to their young
child, at the time, that was outside of his aerospace engineering job.
Quoted from ForceFlow:It's a toy / home version. Not a full coin-op pin.
Right. But it seems to be pretty unique for a home system. From what I read, for example, the entire playfield is molded plastic.
Anyway, I like weird stuff, so it was interesting to me.

I actually had one of those before. Responded to an ad for "a pinball", and that's what was there when I arrived. Ended up taking it for $40, and passing it off to somebody else that wanted a small game for the kids.
It is actually one piece, and has some odd features.
I wish you guys could have played the pimped out one.
It really played like a commercial game with some added features.

I bought it. Offered seller $750 cash yesterday outside eBay, they declined. Seller ended up with same amount after fees. Luckily eBay started 10% eBay bucks for the next 2 days so I got a $85 credit.

There is a complete playfield for it also on eBay. Appears to be in better condition. I considered biding on it but just picked up a project game. Xenon is a great game congratulations.

It's my 2nd Xenon. I have an extra PF already for it. I put a NOS PF in mine. The cabinet on this one is better than mine. Had seller text me a bunch of extra pics, looks pretty good.

Condition: Wear on lower playfield. OP: "OK I plugged in the pinball machine and it Turned right on, Then it powered off. I can't get it to turn back on. It's a really cool machine the glass is in great condition. It also will need the rubber bumpers replaced but I saw them on eBay for $35 for the whole kit. I don't have time or the knowledge to try and get it working so I am selling the machine. I looked on Google and the first website I saw they were selling the machine for a couple thousand dollars. I'm sure you can find them cheaper but again I don't have the knowledge or time to work on it."

Those chewed-on looking edges of the apron cards have me concerned...
Quoted from SkyKing2301:Those chewed-on looking edges of the apron cards have me concerned...
Agreed, what else was chewed? I had one of these in my collection many years ago. Even found a mint Duotron PF to replace mine. Was really happy when I sold it. Never liked it.
Quoted from Balaraform:Pecos thanks for posting your finds. I love browsing looking for a deal.
I also appreciate the nonstop work of the guys posting deals here. I enjoy checking in and seeing what’s available, only to realize it’s many states away. Here’s to hoping some would be closer.
Thanks for all who contribute here!

You can see the mouse pee on the playfield.
you really do have to be quick on Craigslist.... Listing popped up today for 4 games sold as a lot (maverick, shadow, tee’d off, and slugfest) for only $5,000 and in good condition. I called him 45 minutes after it was listed and someone was already heading there with a trailer. Oh well, the hunt continues...

Somehow some of these guys get alerts when something comes up on Craigslist. They will know within 10 seconds of the ads posting. The good go fast. The rest you just keep seeing and seeing and seeing.

I think if you save the search it can send you alerts. I haven't done it yet though.

It is hit or miss on you actually getting the alert and the time at which you get them varies but yes this is the best way I have found

There are phone apps that will alert you within seconds of receiving an email from an email address (or email suffix) that you load in the app. I don't know the names of the apps but I will do some research and share with the group.

This has been around Craigslist about a year now. Fyi.

I use a chrome browser extension called "Popup Notifications for Craigslist"
You can set it up to scan craigslist for new adds every 5 minutes. It took some time to get the settings on craigslist to my liking, but once I did the extension searches about a 300 miles radius of my location.
It also helps I work in front a computer most days, so I see things usually within 5-15 minutes of being posted. I have missed a few amazing deals when I was at lunch or in a meeting.
Keep in mind, if you scrape craigslist too often, it may ban your IP address for a period of time. I had it happen to me with one of those apps.
Quoted from ForceFlow:Keep in mind, if you scrape craigslist too often, it may ban your IP address for a period of time. I had it happen to me with one of those apps.
lol, that's exactly what it did to me last night when I was using the app.... I just need to reset the ip address on the router and it should be good.
Quoted from paddlepaw:I think if you save the search it can send you alerts. I haven't done it yet though.
The Craigslist built in alert system is terrible. It will notify you of searches for items that are hours old, and will continuously re-notify you of items that are weeks and weeks old. People must be using third party scraping tools.
