    Hello, I've been looking for a ST TNG machine for a while, and I found a guy in Salt Lake City that says he has one.

    But, the deal seems to good to be true. I know these machines sell in the $3500 - $4500 range, but yet he says he'll sell it for $800!!!

    Has anyone heard of this guy before? He says his name is Patrick Von. The email he uses is [email protected]. He gave me a phone # but its disconnected. Another red flag.....

    Here is a link to his ad..

    http://www.buynsellpinballmachines.com/ads/used-pinball-machines-sale/

    Has anyone used this website before? I never have.

    Any info or advice is greatly appreciated.

    - Deron

    I would think it would be a Bally Star Trek for that price. The ad in the link does not say sttng. I would call and ask for sure.

    That's all you need right there.

    Do not give it another thought.

    Seems he has fish for sale in Dubai and fish for sale in Kuala Lumpar..! And now an unbelievably priced STTNG in SLC..!

    That, or there are 2 x [email protected] address being used..

    Smells very fishy to me.

    Every one of those listed prices sounds like a crock of sh!t, especially for "the best condition that you can ever expect".

    Every single ad on there is fake.

    The Starwars machine has a stolen picture of the Futurama machine.

    I wonder if this scammer has scammers constantly trying to buy his non-existent pins with checks from non-existent bank accounts.
