This game is a very desirable title and if really really nice to
almost perfect shape there are some that are willing to pay up to
around 2k
No where near 5k though. This one looks pretty bright and clean but
you can see some chips in the paint even in the one picture.
Might be a $1200 machine to someone that really wants one but they are
fooling themselves that's for sure! I have a super nice one that I
wouldn't sell for less than 2k but that's because I'll never sell it.
Just one of those games that if you find a nice one you'll never want
to sell it!

It's a phony ad.
It's the same picture as this one. http://jerseyshore.craigslist.org/for/1458971402.html
I'm thinking this one is legit because he lists his phone number.
I still think he's smoking his lunch if he thinks he going to get
anything close to $2,500.

Theres alotta scams in all the Southern Cali craigslist pinball ads.
You can tell if its a fake most of the time by the city the machine is
in.

What are the odds of identical machines being found at the same time,
on different coasts...and the owners taking identical pictures...wow
hahaha

It never ceases to amaze me what some of these sellers think their old
60's 70's pins are worth.
I've got 8 pins in my collection now. Every purchase was the
same....project machine...seller thinks
it's worth several hundred.... I buy the machine for a couple of
hundred, more or less, depending on the machine.
My most recetn purchase was a 1966 Williams Top Hand.

It was your typical project machine sitting in a garage for the past
couple of years, covered
in dirt, dust, grime etc..... guy had it listed for $275. We trade a
few e-mails, I feel him out, start haggling a little.
I get there and I can see that the cosmetics under all that dirt are
really nice, playfield and backglass are both really good,
couple of cracked playfield plastics. The cabinet is dirty but solid,
the coin door and legs a little rusty, but the inner workings
all look OK......you know, needs some work. So the guy starts in by
telling me that if it was in top shape he'd be asking a lot more
because it's worth like two grand.

So I get him back onto this planet by trying to explain the values of
these machines and that the ones he sees on the Intenet for like
$2,000 are totally restored yada, yada, yada......anyway I make the
deal and the machine is mine for $125.
