This has gotta be the weirdest CL ad I've seen yet for an arcade game. No mention of the product and its condition. All we know is apparently the seller thinks it's worth over $1000. So therefore, buying a raffle ticket (only 250 being sold) for $10 will get you a shot at winning it.

Now let me see, if he sells all 250 tickets, that's $2500 right? Hmm..I guess the house always wins. But somehow I have a feeling there will be maybe 10 or 20 tickets actually bought, becuase everyone else would think the same thing as me: the seller is going to pitch out all the raffles anyway and claim John Doe from Nowheresville to be the winner. And even IF he isn't that shady...I could only imagine he'd get $100 worth of raffles anyways. Medford is a ghost town for arcades. Why wouldn't he just say "hey Gauntlent machine...$400". And leave it at that? Who knows.
