Someone is trolling on CL again, most likely, and using others' phone numbers as a prank. It happens in RI all the time. Half the arcade ads on CL RI are fakes.

Not to seem gulible but what would someone get out of doing something like that? Whats the motive?

There is a lot of infighting among arcade people in some locations... the profiteers, the collectors, and of course there are --bags of cream-filled twinkies-- in any hobby. There isn't a lot more to it than someone being a ---meecrob---.

Funny, he is giving away all of that stuff for free, but wants $500 for a wine cooler. :laugh2:
Anyways, I have a funny story about using phony numbers in want ads:
My Boss's son comes in every once in a while and messes with one of the old timers that works here. The old guy got on his case one day, so the boss's kid decided to get revenge in a clever way. He posted an ad in the local trading journal for the old timers truck at a ridiculously good price...but with a note that says "only call after 10PM due to work schedule". He got calls at all hours of the night for 2 weeks. That was so cruel...but BRILLIANT!
