Q*Bert Craigslist Scam Alert!? - Q BERT COIN ARCADE - $300 (NY,NJ,CONN)
Q*Bert Craigslist Scam Alert !? You decide...
This guy for a while posted a Q*Bert on craigslist at $950.00 obo, out of no where dropped it down to 300.00, I spoke with him on the phone he claims it's not his game it's his friends game and his friend had 2 Qbert's and was moving to I think he said carolina..The reason the price was dropped according to the seller was because when someone went to look at the game (Likely a KLOVer on here) they fiddled with it and offered him a low balling 150.00 for it or so he claims. Since they left he claims the games not working, but was last Tuesday. The picture he posted I said to him, that photo looks like an ebay listing photo in IL, and he's in NY. After I called him out on that he began to become frazzled even though the guy claims he posted photos, he seemed to rush me off the phone.. I asked him for an address of where the game is located, he said it's a new road and wanted to meet me at a Chinese restaurant ? I'm thinking maybe he has a conversion game or whatever and doesn't want to post photos of the actual machine if one even exists... The guy also said he had other crap for sale but i've been there done that drove to CT once and the guy tried to bait and switch me and some friends and we didn't bite. He's (Anthony) apparently a stock broker, and this is another one of his ads he posted: http://newyork.craigslist.org/wch/fns/3248864043.html I'm curious if other KLOVers dealt with this guy yet... And to add he gave the "I'm going to burn it and get more satisfaction speech"
So you decide if this is a scam or not.. Guy seemed very douche baggy on the phone, I've been in sales for a long time and if I'm selling something I treat the buyer correctly. Supposedly the game is located in Armonk Westchester NY. I don't really want to drive 2-3hrs for no reason.. Maybe someone can chime in.
This is the Q*BERT ad in question:

This is the ebay listing where he clearly stole the photo from:
