This is a CL ad I responded to for an EM pinball machine.



"this game starts up and plays great and looks absoloutly spectacular. the only two problems which are minor is that it needs two coils replaced. im short on cash these days and just need it sold, it has been completely dissambeled and cleaned and waxed, the flippers have been rebuilt, the rubber has been changed and the pop bumpers have been rebuilt. i can send pictures from my cell phone. "



So I get there an hour away this morning and this is what he had. Backglass was broke into three pieces and taped back together it folded like a hinge. Playfield glass was a foot too short. Legs had about 8 inches cut off of them and there was no lockdown bar for the machine. Needless to say I wanted to punch him.
Just needed to vent. Next time I'll get pics.

That seems to be a problem with sellers on craigslist, most of them give a " very good or excellent condition " when it is just a pile of junk. Do they think that people will not notice the obvious when they come to look at it? It's bad enough wasting your time, but your out your fuel costs as well.
