Tons of threads about CL buyers and sellers that are just ridiculous but i have one about me and was wondering if anyone else had a story to share.
So it's a little after 5pm and im printing out labels for my ebay sales when i notice my ticker about a CL item. It says Pinball (canal winchester) $200. I immediately click on it and am in such a hurry to call and reserve my spot to buy it that i dont pay full attention to the ad. No answer so i leave a voice mail. Remember im hurrying around!
here is the ad:

The owner called me back so i guess i was first. I postponed my post office trip and head on out after talking to owner and getting the address. I put my tools in the van and off i went. 20 miles away isn't anything to me so im excited thinking im going to land, get this, a Rambo DMD pinball machine, or at least what i thought. LOL Now im a newb when it comes to pinball but you shouldve seen the disappointment on my face when i saw it was a "bitch Rambo" pin called Raven!
$200 isnt bad for this machine as it actually powered up, just the ball/game wouldnt go into play mode. I was so disappointed i didnt even buy it nor give him an OBO. I explained to him i thought it was something else and i was going to pass.
Other then the water warped Galaga i fought with another buyer about, this is probably the biggest CL stupidity story for me.
