So I replied
...
Yes, it is still available. Where are you? And can you pay by certified check?
Also, where you looking for the intel
based or AMD based machine? The
AMD runs a lot cooler and requires less water.
Please tell me if you are interested.
Now I
can just sit back and watch the $$$ roll in!
btw, I don't have a Dr. Who Pinball for sale.
Is this legit?

It is one of those "nigerian scams".
It is always fun to reply back with stupid answers. I've
seen some other examples such as ...
"tell him you have two types of pinball manuals available-
which does he want? The set for IBM pinball
machines, or the set for Rolex
pinball machines. He'll pick one."
"I did the same for a game I was selling that I got a "scam" inquiry
on.
Funny- the guy opted for the Diesel model over the Gasoline model..."

so then I replied:
Hi. I am sorry but I cannot get a final price until you tell me about
which
version you needed. The price varies depending on the option
that you want.
If you optiions like a cigarette lighter, that would be extra.
So
would the alarm system.
Please tell me which option you would like and I will get back to you
with a firm price.
And
then he replied:

VERSION I NEED.I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THE intel based.THAT IS WHAT I REQUIRE.PLS TELL ME THE PRICE FOR THIS OPTION SINCE YOU SAY IT VARIES.PLS GET BACK TO ME
WITH A FIRM PRICE.WAITING FOR RESPONSE ASAP.
YOURS FAITHFULL
MR BARNES
So I am now stuck. Which options do you think
Mr. Barnes needs for this Dr. Who pinball machine before I can give him a final price? I think the
"safety chute" might be an option. As well as the
"Air filters" and "emergency power breakaway fuse protector panelled ball bearings".
Any ideas?
