Title: Check out this guy's add on Craigslist for a wurlitzer Jukebox
Post by: SIGNGUY on February 27, 2009, 05:53:24 pm
I found this funny...
From Craigslist add....
This is an original Wurlitzer 1015 jukebox. It has a sold cabinet, all coin gear, back door, etc. It is an excellent candidate for a restoration. I purchased this many years ago and it played good and had great sound. It needs a plastic set like they all do and one or two bubble tubes. These are being reproduced. The price is $5000.00 FIRM! If you ask for a reduction, the price goes up $100.00 per request. Email me with any questions. I also have a original Wurlitzer 1100 jukebox for sale for $4000.00 FIRM! The price is $9000.00 FIRM! for both. Payment is by cash only. This item is located in New Bern, North Carolina.

My Question to him was ...
Hello, I'm confused, so if I ask you what your best deal on the package does the price go up by $100 or $200? Please let me know as I'd like to know your best package price.

About 10 years ago, I was travelling outside of Little Rock, AR and stopped at a roadside antique shop. I saw a Coke sign that looked pretty decent so I asked what the price was. I then went to my truck to see what book value was on it. The owner carried something out to somebody's car for them and when he passed by me and saw me looking at the price guide, he blurted out something like "If your going to look at a price book, then the price just went up $50". I drove away gesturing with my hand and have never been back.
That ad reminds me of that jerk.

      Ever go to a swap meet and see a sign or machine you like for sale? Ask the guy
how much do you want for it, and he replies to you " I d'now..how much are they goin' for
these days"
      Tell him the value and he says "oh no it's worth way more than that"  :biggrin:

Hey Pat.....I was surprised to see you use that term, never heard it outside of the Northeast. I promised myself a long time ago if I ever own a boat that's what I'll name it: Shi**s and Giggles.

Didn't Austin Powers use it or a censored version of it?
