If you sell any of these, then I'm going to leave mine outside for a little water damage, too!  lol

I guess he sent that part before he finished reading, because a few minutes later I got a follow-up....

I understand your frustration.  I'm trying to add a few more games to my collection sometime in the future.

Except a little truncated, so the joke is more likely seen. I stopped reading after the third item, cos obviously it was a bunch of ludicrousness.

Ginsu Victim:
I enjoyed the whole post, so I wanted to repost the whole thing. Everyone I've shown it to has gotten a good laugh out of it and knew it was a joke right away.

SavannahLion:
It's related, but not the actual post. I think the key point in seeing the humor here is the photo that's included with the posting and the final keyword phrase. I actually thought this was the real deal until I spotted the keywords. I've including it all here for posterity.

--- Quote ---Mint Arcade Machine includes keys - $3000 (Fair Oaks)
Date: 2009-06-06, 2:27PM PDT


100% working highly collectible arcade machine. I believe it plays Street Fighter 2. Only many thousands made so it is very rare and valuable and highly sought after. Made at the factory out of plywood and not cheap particle board. This machine has been in a private collection since it was built. It is like new with very little wear on it. Side art looks brand new. The game functions perfectly, all sounds and controls work. Screen is not working, just needs a fuse. Includes keys and 0.25 cent coin mechs so you can put it in your business and start making money right away. Currently set on free play. I bought this from a private collector just 6 months ago paid $6k. Wife wants it out of the bedroom since all I do is play it. She says that's why I have no job anymore. I think it was the economy. Need to sell to pay rent. Asking only $3000 dollars bucks. I have a bad back so you'll have to move it yourself. It's on the second floor as you can see in the pictures. Will upload a picture of it later. Please look at all the hi-res pictures I have included and you can see how nice this machine is.

Keywords: pinball, skee-ball, ms pac man, galaga, highly magic valuable, one born every minute
