I have a bad, bad feeling that a phone call would = "Oh, we've had some offers you need to beat" whereas handling through email, and her saying "Come and get them" = original price... At least to me.
I hate people that do shit like this.

It says buyer must pick up, not haul.
They're either the colecovision cabinets or a scam to get your email address to spam you.

She confirmed that theyre full size, so I'm safe there.
I think I am going to leave it to e-mail for now. The sig on the e-mail I got says shes a web editor for Ocean City, MD so I'm thinking she's not some hillbilly who doesn't ever use e-mail. I'm think I'm not going to bring up the price unless she does. We'll see how this goes, still a few days between now and then for a lot to happen. After hearing she wanted $200 from someone, I'm nervous this deal might not go through. Just curious, what times did you guys get your e-mails? Mine was 10:04am this morning.
And I'll probably keep all three as these are some of my favs, but I'll let you guys know if that changes. My lady told me that she would love the Frogger, so I'll keep that for her so she's somewhat into this hobby with me. And don't worry, these will be restorations and not MAME'd, I promise.

Heres what I woke up to this morning:
I'm sorry Jason, When I told my husband tonight about the pick up, he informed they he already ordered parts and that I was NOT to sell them. He is quite mad at me so I am going to have to take them off the list. I am very sorry
A little upset, but oh well, what can you do?

The whole thing sounds like a lame cover story. The original Craigslist listing is still active. Shouldn't that be long gone? Sorry, but none of this passes the smell test for me.

Yea, I'm not sure I believe it all, but whatever. It would have been a great deal, but at least I didn't drive 5 hours then find this out.
As a last ditch I offered $100 for all three just to see the response. I'll let you know if I get anything back.
I guess I could be a little more upset about it, but I just found out I got a great job after scraping by for the last 2 years, mulitple interviews (including 3 3rd interviews, only to have the jobs not hire anyone), and basically being down to nothing in my emergency funds. And that I start this coming Monday. So I'm sure there's not much that's going to get me down right now.

Explain to her that you were talking to some of your cop buddies about this deal and how you were so disappointed about not getting the games.
Let her know that they informed you that this woman is breaking federal law by not going through with this e-mail contract that you have with her and that she has to sell them to you or she could risk jail time...courts are really getting tired with all the internet scams and they aren't playing any more when it comes to length of jail time either.

my thoughts exactly...
Congratulations!
We all need to flag her ad, methinks. And any recurring ads they put up for the "games that are not for sale since the husband is fixing them up..."
Lameasses.
