I'm not involved, but I've been watching this unfold. Someone in Vancouver, WA has been trying to sell a Zoar machine since November or so. I think they started asking around $1k, then $800, then it started getting reposted again this week for $350.

With Christmas just around the corner and you are stumped as to what to give for that one of a kind gift? Well your prayers have been answered because we have the vintage arcade game ZOAR for sale at a reduced price of $350.00 (it was priced at $500.00). It works perfectly. All wire tips cleaned. Electronically solid. No problems internally or externally.

Location: Vancouver, Wa

Then someone got tired of seeing it:

For the love of God! Please someone buy this unheard of video game machine!!!

I'm so tired of seeing this ad!

Oh, and its worth $100 at the most. $350.00? You're out of your mind mister.

Location: For the love of GOD!

The seller responds:
Then don't look at it bastard - go back to masturbating


Angry Arcade Dude fires back:
I'll masturbate on your face motherfucker!
I'll fuck you till you love me bitch!

Location: What?

Looks like they're all flagged now, but what a great exchange.
 
It continues:

And it is not Christmas time anymore. Moron......

Then it got edited to say:
Another Craigslist Arcade Auction

Arcade auctions should be on E-bay. But what the hell, $ 999.99 I know I have seen Moon Patrols going for $2,000.00 on E-bay

And now, the serious trolling starts:
WTB: Zoar Arcade Game - $500 (Vancouver, WA)


Hi,
When I was a kid, I used to frequent the local arcades. One of my all time favorite games was this game called "Zoar". Zoar was a two player game, but with me not having any friends, I played it alone. Anyway, now that I'm old, well-to-do, and still without friends, I would like regain my youth by owning a little piece my childhood past.

I am looking to purchase a dedicated vintage Zoar arcade game. Perferably one that has recently shopped, because lord knows I don't want to be in the middle of shooting boats and dodging bullets and then have something happen to my game preventing me from getting my high score.

If you have a great conditioned dedicated Zoar game, and are willing to part wtih it please contact me. But I stress I want a dedicated one. Please don't get my hopes up that you a dedicated one, and then I drive to your place and find a piece of crap Defender game converted to play Zoar.

Last Note: I am severly allergic to smoke. I'm willing to pay slightly more if your machine passes my nose test. Of course the converse also holds that if your machine smells like a greasy pork sandwich served in a dirty ashtray, then I'm probably going to try to lowball you. (I'm still going to want it.. because a dedicated Zoar is hard to come by.. but I want a good "Fabreeze" discount.)

And continues:
