    Seems like all of the ads from this seller have pictures in two different rooms (one is outside?). Seems unlikely selling four games with blurry pictures the same day the account is created. I guess they could be real but the prices seem really low… Proceed with caution.

    Lol, not a scam I don't think. I mean, I don't "know" the guy... I actually pm'ed him thanking him for not contributing to the price explosion and told him I wished he were living in my town. Had a nice convo, and he is selling his machines because he is moving to a different state soon. He donated to pinside... Not that any of this means anything either way, but I think we will find out soon enough that he is genuine when the first pinsider gets over there and buys one. Or all of them.

    ITEM DESCRIPTION
    The best of my collection. This machine was purchased by me from a good friend at Oracle pinbal as part of 3 matching # ce's . POTC ce, WW ce, GNR ce. If you have interest in all 3 as a matching numbered set then reach out to me. This was part of his personal collection. His work is remarkable and this machine is as much a work of art and something to admire looking at as it is to play. Painstakingly assembled and cared for and without a doubt a one of a kind to be proud of owning.

    Below are his build specs for the adds to this machine sourced through many industry contacts with many rare or hard to get items, making it truly a one of a kind.

    *** Includes the limited edition HMS Endeavor mod *** not many made and impossible to find. ********

    THIS is the scam..... Lol.

    Very well, I did not say for certain either way… just looks a bit sketchy. Hope all works out for the buyers.
