Hi. I have about 50-60+ pinball machines I want to sell. They came from my grandpas barn and look old and dirty but should clean up real nice. Some of the pinball games have guns on them. There are also some kind of bowling machines with them about 20 of them. Never got wet just have been sitting there for ever. looking to sell all at once to get rid of them. If interested send me a email and we can arrange a day maybe next week to look at them.

it's NOT ok to contact this poster with services or other commercial interests



There is no way i would have any way to afford, transport or store 50-60 pinball machines, so if it turns out to be a real posting hopefully somebody from here gets a great deal.
 
If this turned out to be real, we could get a few of us together and load the stuff up... and make a day of it.
But I have a feeling that your right.............spam.

This would be the best bet, if 10 of us all got together and could snag 5 or 6 machines each for a good deal. Then it would work out for everybody.

Ya think that's $500 for all of them? Or $500 each? :)

That's actually the biggest reason I think spam. If it is real with that many machines I would think he would just be looking for offers. If he is asking $500 per machine I would think he would have said that.

I love reading the Detroit CL pinball ads. I don't know how you MI guys stand it. There is someone who constantly posts bogus ads, usually with some perverted or profane "punch line" at the bottom. And people constantly sending messages back and forth arguing. It's like Detroit CL has become a communication medium.

I would guess this is one of those same guys just pranking everyone, trying to waste their time.
