So I email this lady that has a "Small pinball machine - $75" .I am thinking yeah right read the ad "Cosmetically good and even Works on occasion!" and it sounds like maybe regular older pinball but you never know could be a small toy one or a scam ad. I get an email from the seller withing 4 mins saying

"It is called Trio made by Bally. BUT, I have done some rsearch and realized it is worth more. The price has doubled, if you're still interested"

I was like you have to be kidding me I refreshed the ad and she wants $200 now, talk about a bait and switch there.

I email her back a little ticked but was nice and she replies back with

"Understood. It was not an intentional switch. I just posted before I did my research and realized it was an antique. Of course $75 would be a deal b/c if it worked all the time, it would be worth closer to $400 I am told. I have someone interested at $150. If I lower the price, I will let you know.

THANKS for looking"

Gotta love how people jack the price once they put an ad up.

her 'research' probably consisted of some prick whose wife/girlfriend/gay lover won't let him get it, and told her it's worth "so much more..."
