Here's the text in case it gets take down:

Quote
WARNING...WARNING ARCADE REPAIR (GET RECEIPT)

Dont be like me, get a receipt from a professional company or person BEFORE you give them your game.
Most ARCADE repair guys SHOULDNT have to take your ENTIRE Game. Dont be like me, get a receipt for anything they take or anything you pay for.
Dont be like me. BE AWARE.. I am making sure EVERYONE knows this, because I didnt and I should have.
Make sure you are dealing with a reputable company!

“I bought a doughnut and they gave me a receipt for the doughtnut... I don't need a receipt for the doughnut. I give you money and you give me the doughnut, end of transaction. We don't need to bring ink and paper into this. I can't imagine a scenario that I would have to prove that I bought a doughnut. To some skeptical friend, 'Don't even act like I didn't get that doughnut, I've got the documentation right here... It's in my file at home. ...Under "D".'”
NO MORE!!

He should call Sheriff Joe and tell him that there was an animal involved. He'd be sure to get it back!

Wouldn't it be a strange circumstance if there were people making a racket out of rolling folks for their arcade cabs?.....

PLEASE beware of these arcade people. They are NOT LEGIT. They have 10 guys working around town and they steal your arcades. One guy is rico, then john paul, armon and lasalle. There are more they meet you dressed in long black coats then ask for your card number. They always ask for your arcade and I think they put a virus in my machine. One guy told me he fixed it, then he laughed and said here you go, A BROKEN MACHINE!!! Then he drove off in his lexus. These guys are MAKING A FORTUNE on YOUR ARCADES!!!! WHAT ELSE WILL THEY GET! They in some instances use pinball machine parts to duck tape to fix these... BEWARE

Lol...  wtf

This is hilarious! I'm thinking drugs are involved here somewhere.....either too many, or too little!

You know, I wonder if people do use Craigslist for doing drug stuff and using words like arcade are just code words for various drug deals or whatever.  Like is there an underground language of drug dealers to be used on a public forum like CL?

Otherwise, WTF to those posts.

That is the entire posting.  No phone number, no pictures.  WTF?
If there's bees in the trap I'm catching em
By the thorax and abdomen
And sanding the stingers down to a rough quill
Then I dip em in ink, and I scribble a bit
But if it they wriggle then I tickle em until they hold still
Lemme say it again
In my land of pretend
I use bees as a mf'n pen

I generally don't bother with ads that have all capitals and no punctuation. They suggest something off in the brain...although, it comes to mind, these could be spam.

Was there a sign next to it saying, " We apologize for the convenience"?
