so, there was a dude selling 2 Homerun Hitter's with a jackpot marquee (pics below).. anyway, i saw them on craigslist last week for a brief period of time listed in Southampton.. then they appear being much closer to me.
the kid wanted $300 for them originally.. then dropped to $125. after emailing him today, i got him down to $65. I didnt want these long-term, but just until my son's party in December.
Since they appeared on CL, I PM Todd Tuckey (TNT is located in Southampton). he told me he gave them away for free. OK, so this guy is trying to make a quick buck.. no big deal, we all do that at times.
I go and check them out. they were disassembled (the pics he had on CL were fully assembled). they were dirty as hell inside, and i just dont mean dust. they probably got wet at one time. So, knowing what I knew from Todd, i ask the dude how long he had them. He said about 4-5 years. This kid is in a $400,000-$500,000 home (with 2 late model corvettes and a volvo) and there is no way in hell these machines were inside in their current condition (they were also dirty on the outside). I play along and kick a few tires (it needed glass on the game and the coin slot got stuck on the one).. offered him $30 cuz of all the labor it would need to clean up nice plus plexi.
on my way out, i mentioned that TNT had these recently and are they the same ones? he said no. I then said 'funny, cuz the pics looked like the ones on his CL ad. He told me that he took the pictures in his garage and they were not a warehouse.
here are the pics
