Ive had a similar thing happen to me... guy rang me with a Fish Tales and Addams family for sale.. asking $3000 for the 2 machines. I spoke to him for a while asking about condition etc and trying to make it sound like I was contemplating it if they were in good nick. Deal was done on the phone and im ready to get the machines ASAP.
Then he rings again and says that he has just looked up the machines on Ebay and now knows the TAF is worth about $5000... why didn't I tell him?... Deal is off.
LOL- bloody internet!
haha "why didn't you tell me it was worth this much?"
- because I couldn't boast to my pinball friends about the deal of the century.
