Love it! Be sure to let us know how this ad works out. I may try it with some of my clunkers.

I guess there were no takers on the Oil + free Arcade game??
Oh well, I guess fuel prices have been dropping a bit - I'm sure that that was what made it difficult to sell your oil. $100+/barrel vs $100/quart...
However, I do like your new ad:

Good Luck!

I paid over $7,000 for this game 40 years ago and it's just gotten more rarer since then. It doesn't need a new fuse or bulb or anything like that either. Just come pick it up and play the crap out of it. Ok I might have been exaggerating a bit on when I got it and how much I paid but everyone does that and still, it's a great deal. And your wife will thank you for leaving her alone at night.
Works great. Located in Martinez. Dirt cheap. What else do you need to know?
key words: Arcade, video game, coin-op, flipper, cheap bastard, etc.

Yeah this ad seems to have generated much more response than the oil ad before it. Not sure why. I think it's because I neglected to mention the title of the game so everyone is just asking what the heck it is.

Sorry, speaking geek.
tl;dr stands for "Too Long, Didn't Read" when a thread is gigantic when you first see it. I was guessing what game it was, even though it had already been "uncovered."
Just being dorky, don't mind me...
No man, thats the lazy speaking. Just type out what your trying to say for christ's sake so the other 99% of old people here know what your trying to say.

Dang. Someone flagged my latest ad. I was wondering how long it would take for people to get sick of me spamming this thing. Not to be deterred.....

Sometimes subtle humor works best eh? And yeah, I'm surprised...this is a bad economy but sheesh. It's not like it's a bad game either. I mean, it ain't Galaga but still. Plus, I think it's a jamma cab so you can throw other games in there easy. Oh well.
Did you see the ad where I said it was cursed by an evil spirit? That's the one that was flagged. Not sure if it offended somebody or if people are just sick of seeing this thing.
Haha, I missed that one unfortunately... you should've said that the legendary Ms. Pacman ghost switched machines.

Yeah I thought it might have been lost on a substantial amount of the audience. But then so is the last one I posted I'm sure. Oh well.

If the monitor will flip, you should just 60:1 that thing. For another $100 you could sell it for $300 probably.

That's not a bad idea. This is actually a super easy monitor to rotate. It's 2 screws, pull it out, rotate it, screw it back in. And I guess the control layout would work ok with it huh? Maybe....
I offered free delivery locally this time. I'll see what happens.

I keep getting people offering me like $60 for the thing. I'd sell it to a KLOV collector for what I got it for....but not just joe blow off the street. It's funny though, lowball offers on a $100 fully working game. Sounds like something I would do!
Wonder if:
A) Those offers are jokes from people on here, or:
B) CL readers have found this thread and are onto you?

Either way is equally entertaining.
I'd take $60 for that ugly POS if I were selling.
Actually, I would have never taken it in the first place.
