Good price but the photos threw me off a bit so I did an image search and found two of the images elsewhere online. I corresponded that the pinball "... looks like it is in good shape. The backglass looks intact. How long ago were those pictures taken?" Apparently the pinball is in storage and I emailed back that I would need to see it; mentioning that at least two of the pictures posted were lifted from other websites. 'Jim's' response:
You know what bro, i never lifted anything...... i don't want to deal with you ...... f--k off goof !!!!!!!!!
What did I do wrong?

I think a seller that uses language like that speaks volumes about the intelligence for that person. Sounds sketchy if you ask me. No harm doing your homework and asking legitimate questions. His response is atrocious. I saw that ad and my first thought was how interesting, good price, but is this legit? I think that the question has now been answered.

This is Stephen Anderson (or, at least, the person most people agree is Stephen Anderson). There may or may not be a scam, but he's a real treat. Keep up the correspondence and get offensive if you want to have some fun.
Don't waste your time trying to buy the machine. He's a complete loser and the machine won't even be close to his description.
Pinbot is a total crap game anyway. There's infinitely better games out there for less money.
Just tell him your name is Barrister William Babaganoush from Zimbabwe and that you will send him a cheque for 8 million dollars, provided he keeps the sale amount for the pin and wire the rest.
That was my reaction after seeing the listing and hearing about his reply. Stay away.........is my two cents.
I saw these. I concur. Posting appears to follow it's (calling "it", "him" lends to the argument of belonging to the same species as the rest of us which I am sure cannot be the case.) MO in that it was posted in the same areas and had many of the tell-tale signs of the notorious S.A.
It's response just strengthens my conviction that it is in fact it.

Yes, I agree that definitely was a Stephen Anderson/Utterson type ad. The too good to be true pics, claims it is fully functioniong, the larger than standard font. I was screwed over from him last year. So, after checking IPDB to see if that is where the stock photos came from this time (they werent), I emailed simply asking if he and I had done business previously. Wisely, he never replied.
I cannot corroberate all the claims I have read about him, but will confirm he is a most unethical character in his dealings (with myself, at least).
