USA Pinball Sales to reach huge numbers
« on: May 05, 2015, 01:00:34 AM »
A friend sent me this message from FB.
Interesting idea when I looked it up. Lol .......

Quote from FB reads
"A USA BNIB Pinball Dealer/Seller, located in famous state of IL,  hopes to increase pinball Sales by getting as many women into the Pinball Market by offering his electronic product, The Sybian Saddle, free with every new pinball machine Purchased."

"Richard, or Dick to his friends, says sales have been booming since teaming up the two products and his referrals have jumped thru the roof. Multiple purchases have occurred. We always welcome multiple sales, our service is second to none ".

"It's like the machines are just rushing out the door."
End advert.

I am waiting for the facebook pictures. Stay tuned.

Anyone think it will take off ?

Are you saying that before you got the prank message "from your buddy" you actually believed this ?

Nate on Coast 2 Coast Pinball Podcast did state recently that he spoke to Gary Stern and asked the question of the percentage of games sold to the home owner in the US, which is quite high at 75% with remaining 25% going to bars and arcades etc.

Didn't think it was real. Just a FB gag.

Wasn't til I looked up the Sybian machine on wikipedia I realised it was a pisstake.
Some may have seen the funny side of it if you have a sense of humour. Lol

Must have been the linking of products with the Sybian Saddle. Lol
Home use sales have climbed. Lol.  @.@

I am not as perfect as the two of you

Any excuse to take a pot shot hey, obviously they don't tell jokes at your church

I haven't been for 40 years, I will have to start attending...

(You could have simply sent me a polite PM asking for me to delete the thread if it upset you and I would have happily obliged) If anyone wants the thread removed, PM me and I will ask for its deletion.
I understand FB and its humour is not to everyone's taste.
On reflection I shld have played it conservative and not reposted something I thought was stupid and funny at the same time. I will work harder on being the worlds first mistake free human.

I think you misunderstood them, it looked like they were having a go at your intelligence.

Ha ha.
Your a funny man. I didn't misunderstand anything. Your post is just Another cheap pot shot. You got nothing in life better to do huh. Ya think a post on a forum replaces the I.Q test huh.  !!@

Anyone who jumps on this thread to make smartass comments after I have clearly stated that I have asked the Mods to delete the thread is just going out of their way to make trouble. Keyboard commando away if u must.
