Is craigslist full of douche bags? I post a simple ad looking for two pinball machines in either items wanted or video games categories and everyday someone flags my ad. Are there that many pinball hoarders out there that dont want anyone else to buy pins? Theres the crap spam email you get, also. Whats with the inflated prices on pins, too?
 
Yeah, its totally out of control. I had an ad posted that I was looking for a Freddy pin and it was flagged over and over and over again. Some guy was also cloning peoples ads. He would post an identical ad as yours but with his contact info of course.

At one point, some douche posted an ad declaring that the cloning of our ads would continue because it was "bullshit". This guy claims machines should be listed for sale and whoever contacts the seller first gets it. WTB ads were "unfair" he claimed. Not sure who appointed him judge, jury, and executioner of CL. And the CL people are lazy dicks who pretty much told me via email they weren't going to do anything about it.

But my ad was up enough for a few people to have seen it and contacted me. So now I don't have to deal with it anymore.
 
As for the inflated prices...I don't know. Maybe because Chicago is sort of the epicenter of pinball. That was always my assumption. You wouldn't believe some of the prices people were emailing me with. Like the guy with the $2800 WWF Royal Rumble. Really, $2800 for that machine!?!?!
