Quoted from Isochronic_Frost:

Is that really what Checkpoint is going for now??
Wow. Only a couple years ago it was tough to get 1200 for one. It’s really not a good game. I should know!
That sucks, it looks like you did a lot of work. Scammers are getting more advanced. Maybe ask to FaceTime next time?
In truth, avoid Mr. pinball and always buy in person, “cash on the glass”.

Yep, In a lot of minds of people that been in the hobby long enough know it is still a $1200 or less pin. Mr Pinball classified is a known scammer site, Stop going there to buy pinball machines.
