![]() After a conversation I get the story that he had gotten the machine in trade for work he had done a few years ago and he really needed the money now and that's why he was selling it. I looked at the information at hand and reviewed the pictures I had gotten from my brother and started to wonder if this guy may just be older and have that oh so common old person texting syndrome. He claimed to have PTSD and he can not take all the calls he has gotten and all the requests for pictures of the machine. All he has had is people wanting to low bid him and not commit to driving to see it. At this point my brother calls me and says he has been in contact with the seller and he is a bit crazy but he is really interested in having someone come see it. That's rather odd since it's a great price and people from 2 states should have grabbed that by now. A few weeks pass and I find the post is still active on craigslist. ![]() After a few minutes I stopped and realized it may not be worth the effort because he may be crazy and a 5 hour drive for crazy is nothing I want right now. I responded thanks for the info and I set about spending a few minutes deciphering the information he sent. I got two more attempts at communication from the craigslister that was in the same format. The response I got was a badly spelled mixed bag of pieces of words that were designed to be a sentence. After a day or two of no one grabbing it up, I thought I would send a text to inquire about the condition and status. The ad listed it for $1500 which is a great deal but the distance was 5 hours away in Monroe. This is a well liked machine and 1 of the few machines I want in my short collection but have always passed due to the cost of this machine. So I have recounted my story to a few people but I decided to leave a more detailed record for the group as a whole about my experience with a particular craigslist ad.Ī few weeks ago I noticed a craigslist add for a Star trek the next generation pinball machine. I wrote this in 3 sittings and have just cut and pasted for everyone. ![]() Also please let me know if anyone else went to this craigslist post in in Monroe for a STTNG. Ok so this is long but needed to be done for posterity.
