As usual, nothing specatacular on craigslist as far as pins right now, but some damned interesting arcades. Dave from Madison has a Tron listed for a grand. That is really high for him so I am thinking it is a peach. Also saw a Satan's Hollow and a DK3. Makes me wish I was in the market for a classic machine. That Tron would look nice in the dungeon.
So, open house at work last week. Since there are no other Miller Lite drinkers at work, I got all the leftovers. My outside fridge looks like something out of a Dr. Dre video. I did manage to put a little dent in the bar fridge saturday night. I got by with a little help form my friends. :cheers:

Oh you missed the pin action on Sunday then (yesterday). At 11:30 am someone posted a circus voltaire pin in "good condition" for $800. I noticed the ad at about 1:15 or so and told him I'd take it. He replied about 2 hours later saying he has already had 10 offers to purchase it this morning and that I should make an offer that day. He would then consider all offers and award to the highest bidder.
At that point, I was clearly out of the running but I made a ridiculous offer anyway. Never heard back from him. I wonder how much it went for.
LLUncoolJ:
What a fuckstick. It's craigslist, not f'ing Ebay. Or was it like the guy with the Riverboat Gambler that didn't know what he had? Yeah, I missed that...and I'm glad.
Flake:
The guy clearly didnt know what he had otherwise he wouldnt have offered it up for less than $3-$4k. From what I've seen that pin is worth way more than $800 even if it was in terrible shape.
The guy didnt have a phone number listed and I knew when I sent him the e-mail by the time he would see my e-mail offer there would most likely be 5 other inquiries about it.
Oh well......
