What's with the bogus CL arcade ads? Tron for $100, etc.

First of all, Tron is spelled with a zero in the title for some reason (no idea why). Second, it says "normal wear" but it's clearly a restored Tron with new side art (at least the photo is). Third, it's only "asking $100." Fourth, it's still listed a day and half later (some of you may have replied to this yesterday--any response?). So clearly this is a bogus ad. But why? Is someone fishing for emails of arcade people?

"email greg"...

Sounds totally fake, like someone is upset with something on the forum. I flagged it.
 
That's funny, some dude just happens to have a fully restored Tron sitting in the middle of his garage with normal "wear" and it's in the way. So let's not bother to see what they sell for by the click of a mouse, just ask $100!! Yeah that's a fair price! :rolleyes:

Bate and switch method. Get you in the door, so why not look at what else he has? Of course the Tron is sold for $100 already, tron guy will tell you his is $16,600 all day. Of course you will look at something because you made the trip.
