This guy posted the same CL ad again today:

Here it is:

http://modesto.craigslist.org/clt/1472047017.html

Don't bother contacting him. The ad is fake. The phone number he provides starts with 518, which is a New York area code. Don't call the number. Its a Sprint Wireless number out of Albany, NY.

He says he has been working on games for a long time, and if that was true he would know the "real" value of the systems he is selling.

I have emailed him numerous times and he never responds, or he responds to something I didn't even ask him. SO, I got suspicious and decided to look up the "trailer park" he says he works at. The 4 N Mobile Home Park is in Oakdale, like the ad says. Since he mentions that he works as a handyman for the mobile home park manager I decided to call and speak with the manager. He said he doesn't know anyone named Kevin and has had numerous people come by over the past week looking for the "guy who has arcade games for sale.." He told me he doesn't know of anyone selling those kinds of games and that the Mobile Home Park is mostly senior citizens who wouldn't know and arcade game from a hole in the ground.

Anyway, I don't know exactly why this guy keeps posting ads, but they are fake!

Just wanted to give everyone a heads-up.

Thanks,

Jess (True)
 
went by there yesterday. no one was home but you can see into the mobile home that this guy had a whole bunch of games in there. i could see the taxi drving one. and it look like a multicade game. couldnt tell what the rest of them are.

he has no front door on the mobile home just a screen door.
 
I live in a single-wide. I can't imagine a Crazy Taxi in my arcade room :) I do have a Run N Gun cab, lol. We were going to buy a house in place of it, but after all fees and crap, it would be cheaper to buy another house with land (we are going to do). Here is my setup for limited space:

Garage - Games that are going to get scrapped or in limbo

Workshop - Games that are fun but not good shape (except Nintendo Cab)

House - Games that are fun and better condition


Kevin
 
Strange..

Bigdaddy,

I wonder if it is a foreclosed on trailer or something. I spoke to the trailer park manager and he has no idea who a "Kevin" is and said he has two maintainence guys that work for him and neither are named Kevin.
Also, when I called the phone number he posted it said the voicemail was full...could not leave a message..then I found out the phone number is a New York area code..

Its strange to say the least!! Especially when he mentions that you can just "drop by" to pick the machines up but no one is ever there..

Just weird..

BigDaddy

Did you speak to him on the phone??

Ask him why he posts but never answers phone calls or emails..??

Also, maybe why the manager doesn't know him..hehe

Well..good to know that a person actually exists..everything I could find out suggested otherwise...of course, I wasn't able to drive down to the mobile park..just call

Thanks for the update!

I met the guy a couple of times the dude is a tweaker seriously..If you met him in person you will see.His games hes trying to sell are crap.Dont waste your time..
 
some of the things he sells is good, just wait til the end of the month when he is hurting for rent.

if he still has everything by the end of next week watch the ad for price drops. he sold a guerilla war or something like that about 3 weeks ago working for 49.00
