I have to say the the person trying to sell these machines is a real idiot , or a complete scam artist.

Here are the true values of your pinball machines.

Williams Honey $400
Gottlieb Charlie's Angels $500 - shitty Gottlieb system 1 electronics! Very unreliable!
Williams Rancho $450
and some crap childs toy pinball.

As a package deal, the whole lot is worth less than the individual prices.

Now , let me address the so-called $3200 Rancho from Pinball Rescue. These machines are pristine, rebuilt, re-manufactured , over-priced collectors items. Let me put it in simple terms. Your Rancho is a 1965 Ford Mustang with 200,000 miles that someone steam cleaned the engine and waxed the body. The Rancho pinball machine at Pinball Rescue is a 1965 Ford Mustang that has had a body off frame restoration, with a rebuilt engine, transmission , and rear axle. New interior and a fresh factory quality paint job. Yes, you both have Rancho pinball machines, yours is worth $400 , the other is worth over $3200.

Get a clue and quit watching Pawn Stars and other BS "reality" shows.

lol. That is really some pissed off guy on CL. He went through all that trouble for what? I always see some outrageous prices for machines on ebay and CL, it's too common to blow a gasket over it. Knowing how sensitive most of these people are, I really don't even like to try and help them correct their ads. I just click the x button and think; "Good luck with that!".
 
I would say he is probably from Pinball Rescue. To make the restored Mustang (Rancho) worth $3200, you would have to tear it down to nothing and replace it with a really nice '67 Camaro (Revenge From Mars).
 
I don't see why people go to the trouble to make a new ad just to bash someone else. I think when he gets no response to his post he'll figure out that his expectations are way too high. He'll either lower his price or repost it over and over for the next 5 years.

I couldn't agree more. I just don't understand what motivation someone would have to do that. It's not like the seller will see their bitchy response and decide to drop their price. If I were the seller, I might drop the price for everyone else and raise the price for that person, actually.

Exactly! Who gives a crap about what others try and sell their stuff for?

This amazes me. Who's the DB now?
 
Too bad there isn't an "ignore seller" button on Craigslist so that you don't have to keep seeing stupid postings...
 
Here's one from Minneapolis:

a old SubRoc 3d that isnt 100% operational is not worth trading a pinball for , a gun for, a gokart for,,
its a old crappy 1982 sega game that doesnt have that much of appeal to anybody, its heavy and your's
doesnt even work at 100%,, you're best to just try to sell it for 75bucks to get rid of it,,, and 75 if you are lucky


GOOD LUCK!!!!! hahahaha...................

I have an original SubRoc-3D full size stand up arcade game for trade. The cabinet has all its original artwork and looks pretty cool. However the edges are scratched and beat up so its no show game. The game turns on, credits up, and is playable but the 3-D mechanism and sound are not currently working. When i looked into the game more than a year ago the 3D board behind the eye piece appeared to have an old solder repair, my guess is it was not a good repair and needs to be re-solderd correctly. The sound worked when i got the game a year ago but when i turned it on a month ago there was no sound. My brother had moved the game in the past year so my guess is a loose wire plug but i am unsure. It works and is playable now however, and all of the parts are there, looks cool in the game room, will trade or sell, metal detectors, guns, other arcade games, pinball machines, tools, motorized things like go karts and lots of other things interest me, let me know what you have
