Quoted from Kingsley73:So I've got to ask, who snagged the BOP in Howell for 1200 bucks today? I responded an hour after it posted to Craigslist and I was already too late....someone scored quite well
Quoted from amkoepfer:I called about an hour after it posted and the phone went straight to voicemail. Someone got a great deal
Will anyone admit to getting it?
I got lucky (and not so lucky), saw it show up 10 minutes after posted, was the first to call. He sounded legit, though he couldn't tell me much about it other than it worked and looked good, and he even mentioned had a semi working ms Pac-Man man cocktail he wanted to sell for $250 if I was interested. I have been looking for one, so I said hell yes! I confirmed with him the price and pickup for tomorrow. I knew the price was good, so I was of course worried he would get tons of calls and offered higher prices.
Sure enough, an hour later I get a call back from him. However it was not the bad news is expected! He said he was getting slammed with calls and even received higher offers. Said someone else was willing to pick both machines up tonight. But he also confirmed that I was the first to call, he said i could come and pick it up tonight! He didn't want to go back on his word. Sweet!!
I thought I was all set for pickup! I made plans to borrow a truck, a friend to help load/unload, an esclara to get it out of the basement...
Then out of nowhere, I get a "sorry..." text message about his wife promising the machines to a coworker, and he will get back if that doesn't go through... nothing yet.
Ughhhhh!

Atleast you got through to him, sorry he didn't hold it for you...
