Flipper's Confessions - What was your most profitable CraigsList flip?

I know a lot of people will buy and flip games to help fund their habit, or just to make some cash, so let's hear about some of the most successful CraigsList flips.
 
I've never had a solid flip yet.

I have taken a generic cab for $50, sold the board for $50 or a little more, put 20 hours or more into cleaning/restoring the cab and $300 and sold it for $800 (60 in 1)
 
My most profitable "flip" would probably be 1000 Mile Rally.... I got it for free... I put nothing in to it save for some red paint and a "squeeze" of the PCB set to get it running (the two boards weren't fully seated with each other!) and I sold it for $400 I think it was...actually... it may have been $300... I can't remember (getting old).

EDIT: Oops... I did have it for a few months before I sold it though... does that count as a "flip"? If not... where is the line drawn?
 
My HUO Burgertime, purchased for $100, flipped the test switch back to play mode, and collected $1,000 for it. Everyone here in Reno still resent me for that ;) But I do miss my BT....
 
i know i have posted these pics before.... but here ya' go ;)

probably one of my better scores/flips for a buck!

since we are talkin' Craigslist...

the $50 Asteroids Deluxe cocktail i bought (hoping it was an upright but the ad had no pictures.) fixed the cold solder joints on the monitor that were blowing the fuses, did the normal stuff like replace the big blue and rebuild the AR, the sold it for $250. at least $150 in profit with very little investment in time.
 
I stand corrected. I got a free tempest awhile back that needed a frame transistor replaced.

sold it for $575 I think.

I did drive 5 hours and gave the guy a 3 wood for it though.
 
bought a super gt for 100 at s.a then sold it with no additional investment for 575

bought a defender pin for.............errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr stop, sorry some things are better left unsaid
 
Picked up a dead $20 Galaxian cocktail with no art or glass, invested about $350 in new art, wiring, glass, etc and turned it into a minty Pac-Man cocktail with a 60-in-1 inside, sold it to my work for $1500, and they turned around and sold it for $2500...
