Did someone get lucky on this one?  Was posted last night at about 2:30 am for $3,000, cash deal. I replied first thing this morning, as I have been looking for one of these for some time (too cheap to pay going price), but did not hear back.  The ad is now gone, removed by owner.  So, I figured one of three things happened 1. someone got lucky, 2 it was a scam or 3. poster sobered up and decided to keep the game.  I guess #4 early April Fool's Day joke is also on the table.  Anyone know anything?

Well, congrats to him if it did work out for him. 

If he has it in his possession, I wonder if he wants to sell it for a quick profit?  I know that I would have paid more than that (and still would) for a decent MM.

Herman did get it, and is planning on selling it as-is.

Herman driving to MIAMI!!! Yeah right !!! I can almost guarantee he didn't get this one. ;D
If so, congrats Herm, it would probably be worth it in this case.

Herman has gotten some really good deals before, he scored that South Park for almost nothing.

If he did get it.. just makes you wonder about who would sell a MM so cheap. Even in this economy that game is worth more than $3k even dirty and dead.

But then agian I guess the universe has to balance out all those people selling moldy broken EMs for $3500.

I saw that ad as well. It must have sold quickly (no surprise if real) as I replied before 6 A.M. this morning and never got a reply. Oh well, yet if it was legit and an FAC member got it then many congrats!    :)

Bad news, seems it was a sick joke by someone. 450 miles for nothing, that just sucks.

Sick bast$%@!    :)

Seriously, though, if someone did drive that far for nothing then I feel for you as that would stink!

Karma sucks.

One thing about going two towns over or down the road, but this just isn't right.

At least it wasn't a setup to get robbed, but it just wasn't right.
