1969 MIBS, needs nothing! NOTHING HE SAYS!

$450 for a one player EM seems high.  Yes it has balls in the backglass, who cares?  wedgeheads seem to be a dime a dozen, and this thing needs some SERIOUS TLC (not nothing).  I also hate when people write ads and double speak, like saying three times it's working 100% (does that means it's actually working 300%?)

That cabinet needs some serious sanding/painting, and that front coin door looks like someone sneezed rust all over it (I'm amazed the side rails look so good compared to everything else).

12 pin route - description shortened..

You remember this ad?
http://bestofcraigpinball.blogspot.com/2012/07/niles-buy-my-whole-route-as-giant.html

now it just says... pinball.  No phone number, not listing what he has, just an email address.

I think he's realizing that every pinball collector in chicago thinks he's insane, and are constantly flagging his ads, so he thinks that by just saying one word that people won't know it's him.  Problem is, he hasn't updated any of his photos

robocop - decent price?

However, it has the horrible description that makes everyone cringe "needs a new fuse".  Yea, fuses are protection devices, they don't just burn out like bulbs do.  That means you have a short, or someone played it beyond it's limits (like flipped the flippers constantly and overheated the coil).  Who knows, maybe it's a steal, but I wouldn't be willing to drive to Hobart, Indiana to find out.  Also I don't think this title is so great from what I've read.  $700 for working (needing cleanup) maybe.  Sad that he actually purchased it for $1200 5 years ago, I think someone ripped him off

cooper baseball is back

Listing is chicago still.. Was $30, now it's back up to $100?  Either this is another moron, this is the same moron, or this is a flipper moron that bought this from the other moron and is trying to resell it at a higher price.

snowblower for stern

This is just an odd ad.. This is just an odd ad (hey, he repeated himself).  This guy apparently bought 6 snowblowers last year hoping to sell them when snow broke.  Last year in chicago was so mild (it barely snowed), so he got stuck with these.  Now he's moving to florida, so obviously he doesn't need snowblowers.  He wants to trade one or two, perhaps the whole lot for pinball (because he's a 25 year collecter collector).  He would also sell sepurately separately.  $1500 value for 6 snowblowers?  $250/each is a bit high, I mean they're mostly toros, and the handles look a little rusted.

Anyway, if your in the market for an army of snowblowers, and you have a pinball you don't want anymore, contact this guy!

I hope a magic lamp comes with that aladdin

This one has been up before, it pops up now and then.  Apparently this pinball machine OS is for sale.  He's asking $2300 for an EM machine?  Granted, it looks in good condition, perhaps he bought it new in 1975?  I'm guessing it's not worth that if it still hasn't sold and he's trying again (perhaps lower your price, that's how the market works.  Can't sell, lower your price).  Anyway, here's the ad.. I had to photoshop not one but three separate phone numbers in the description.. You know, like the carpet commercials where they play the jingle 3 times so you don't forget the phone number.

NOS rubber?

Ok, this one made me chuckle.  Not because of the asking price (he could come down a couple hundred but not unreasonable).  He's claiming NOS rubber.  In the case of NOS backglass, plastics, that's wonderful.  NOS rubber?  I'm pretty sure after 38 years NOS rubber would be dry rotted so bad it would be cracked and in pieces.  So either he's selling a pinball with a mess, or he meant that someone put on new rubber (because they still sell rubber in every size).  It looks like the latter
