Saw this ad. Response was "$3500 per machine, send me your phone number and respond to my email." I responded via the ad and not their email and asked for their location, no response. Email is probably fake. Too good to be true...

Yep, I thought they were taken from somewhere else.

They keep asking for my email address. Don't they have that when you respond on CL? What can they do with an email address?

Used another address, price dropped to 1700 per machine.

Getting good, got canned machine descriptions. The bottom is classic. Lots of personal info needed to buy a machine. But, of course, her son needs surgery and she's leaving for four months so machines have to go.

(3).About the TWILIGHT ZONE PINBALL MACHINE...

It features a working gumball machine that is used to lock balls and
capture the "power ball". The power ball is a unique ball that is made
out of ceramic instead of steel. It weighs less than the regular balls
and therefore can do some amazing tricks on the playfield. Being
ceramic it also is not affected by the magnets which makes for some
terrific play.
Super entertaining play.
Great sounds.
We have acquired this game from a local collector and it is in
excellent condition.
It features several nice mods including the camera, piano and colored gumballs.
The playfield is in excellent condition with no broken plastics.
Plays great! All functions have been checked by a pinball tech for
proper operation.
We have replaced worn rubber and burnt bulbs have been replaced.
The playfield has been cleaned and waxed.

Getting closer...

"Well did you received the pics ? hope you did love them . As you said
you are willing to take all the four machines, it will cost you $6800
for all . so when do you intend to have the machines with you ?"

I responded I'd pick up tomorrow, send me address and payment method. As you can tell, a little bored tonight, I should go play avengers.

And here's where it ends...she told me she was in Philly, why does she need closest airport. Does anyone ever fall for this crap?

Well you can do the payment via WesternUnion or MoneyGram since it is
fast, safe and reliable. So if you can send the money now, i will
collect it, then arrange the sale contract document and the change of
ownership under your names . so can i have the following information
from you

Full names
State
City
Zip code
Home/street address
Contact number
Closest airport

With these information the paper work will be made under your names as
the new owner of the machines. ok

Still going...I asked if I could pay cash when I arrived. Hilarious. I asked for the wire Instructions and address, waiting on that.

well if you can send $1000 now so that i can obtain the change of
ownership and sale contract document and then tomorrow when you come
over, you can then complete the remaining $5800 cash to me. so i will
need the information i asked you to prepare the documents with now .
ok
