Anyone lookin for a Stoner 120? Too high priced for me.

doesn't seem  like a bad price.  There's another  Stoner Jr. on eBay, only $18,567.

I have seen that auction for months and it's scary/creepy and I'm not even talking about the price, the price will fall into the stupid category. The whole black and white with all the faces from the lady standing there to the mirror and the storage area. Just way to much going on.

Seeing that auction again I did find some humor though, again, besides the price but the one question and answer. I posted it below. He's thinking of raising the price so act now. Hilarious!

Q: Can you provide more complete pictures. Are you open to offers? Is it available for viewing in San Pedro?Thanks
A: I have more pictures if you have a smart phone ill text you pictures, I'm actually thinking about raising my price why what offer did you have in mind 

So now if it's not sold quickly enough at one price, that means it needs to go for more. That makes perfect sense.  :upside: I just don't get it. These days many sellers seem to not want to cooperate on just providing information, to say nothing of price.

"If I don't sell it quick enough at this price, I'll just threaten to go up on it later, that's the ticket! I'll act like I'm interested in an offer though, just to thoroughly anger and confuse potential buyers." :upside:

Then they'll say to themselves "I wonder why it hasn't sold yet?"   :help:

The 120 on craigslist does not look like a bad price but not enough pictures to figure out condition.

I did email him and he said door is missing on base but everything is complete and working on inside.
