This is the first time I've seen anything like this. If anyone is close and calls, let us know what happens.

I called and text that number one hour after it was posted and no reply.

DO NOT CALL;
this ad is bogus; I talked with the guy;
his ex is getting back at him by posting phoney ads;
he's been swamped with calls.

I can confirm what nvmos2 reports here-- I had just called the guy also, offered him my sympathy upon hearing this explanation, then immediately got on the forum to find I'd already been scooped! =D>

I don't think the poor guy wants to field any more inquiries. Perfectly understandable. :oops:

In the Craig's List ad, the slot's model name is listed as Darwins.
The photo in the ad was lifted from Bill Darwin's web site.

Sorry ,but kinda funny....... may or may not be deserved.

locally here , a guy I know who buys "other" things via C.L., apparently kept booting off another guys ads looking for the same stuff (eliminating to local compaction). the 2nd man is running around town asking if anyone knows the first guy , so he can put him into the hospital. unfortunately this is what you get when your a flipper & only see $$$$$ (no longer a collector). first man Has upset a few locals , So no doubt , someone will tell the 2nd man all he needs to know. wonderful world we live in.
