Not sure if this is popping up in other locations but it appears to be
a scam...

http://fredericksburg.craigslist.org/tag/1937395139.html

This is the response I rec'd back...

Hi
Please apologize me for my delayed response. The pinball machine is in
perfect working condition, i`m selling because i need money for my
house mortgage.
The price is $2,300 and the machine will be delivered from GA but so i
can enlarge my perspectives, i listed it on numerous states. Delivery
will take no more than 3-5 days.
I`m the most of my time gone from home due my work so my ONLY option
to manage the transaction, is trough eBay Buyer Protection Program (it
is not necessary to be a member), which means that you can be able to
inspect the machine before i receive payment. You will have 5 days to
inspect and verify the machine before the money reach my account. If
by any reason the machine is not as described, or if you find any
problems with it I will pay for the returning fees and eBay will
refund your money.
I'm sure it won't be the case because it's like new. I apologize if it
seems like I'm pushing on this deal but I really want to be sure
everything is clarified before any further steps.
If you're still interested please reply and i will explain you the
exact steps of the transaction
Hope to hear from you soon,

Figuring it was a scam I asked for a contact # to which his reply
was...

And why you must call me for that?
I make a listing with pictures on internet so can buyer`s can reach me
via e-mail.
I really don`t want to stay all day on the phone to sell a pinball
machine.

Then mine...

Look, I have money in hand and if you do not want to spend 10 minutes
on the phone discussing this then I will spend my $2300 elsewhere.

Sorry to be such a burden.

Go ahead and flag this clown.

Yes it is a SCAM as I got the same reply and I noticed that he has the
same listing in every city in my home state on Craigslist.

AVOID this one!

Yeah I missed the thread 3 days ago... I don't visit rgp much anymore.
This guy is a real gem and knows of this thread. Probably a "fellow"
collector with too much time on his hands.
