So I was checking our local Craigslist postings this morning, and as I'm scrolling down I see a 'Funhouse' pinball for $1000. My heart skips a beat. I instantly email the guy and tell him I have money in hand, a truck to pick it up and I can get it today or tonight. So I never heard anything back all day, and I kept checking the posting to see if he'd post pics or his phone number. So I refreshed the page just a few minutes ago..and see for yourself what I get..F'er! I knew it was to good to be true...

Damn EM!
 
looks like its true...just not what you were hoping for...and not worth no $1000 either..good luck with your search
 
The guy advertising the machine did nothing wrong, why did you call him a fucker!?!


He's not likely to be a collector and that backglass looks really cool. Buy it and you could then brag about your new Funhouse!
 
I would like to see some better pictures. Wood rails, especially in good condition, don't exactly grow on trees these days.

Could easily be "worth" $1000 depending on condition.
 
yeah that's a pretty old pin, 50s i think? it has gobble holes, i recall...
still, not a thousand-dollar machine for sure.
 
1956 according to IPDB. I'd consider buying it if the rest of the cab and playfield look as nice as the head - and it was closer to me. I don't think I'd drop a grand for it but I might come close.
 
funhouse is easily worth 1000 if its in good shape. they sell on average for 2400. they will sell at that price all day long. i guess your gonna say medevil madness isnt worth 2000 either.
 
Did you even read the thread? haha It was a 1950's something funhouse pinball not the SS funhouse with Rudy. That was the whole point of the post :p

**edit**
Well he did remove the pictures now..but ya it was an old EM pin not the Funhouse I thought it was, I'm still sad haha
