This has been an interesting week. Just picked up a black knight today, 4 hours away. Where did I find it? Random non pinball collector (badbecky) who had one sitting in their garage not working decided to jump onto this site, see who was looking for one in the chicago area, decided to message me. A few messages go back n forth, finally she posts photos in the sell market. I'm like "crap! now it's public!". So I finally call, and her husband answers last weekend. I explain I can't make it out that weekend, but can pick it up the following weekend on Sunday. I call him back last thursday, and he wants to make sure I still want it because he's had lots of people contact him that are interested. I say yes, I'll leave early sunday morning and call before I leave. I will say this, it needs work (didn't even start a game until I tinkered with a fuse and manually press the start button), but on the plus side it seems to be a lot of small easily fixable issues (the ball eject solenoid was literally hanging from the playfield because the screws stripped).

Also yesterday, I get a PM from a guy in VA that wants to sell me his BK2k (also in my wanted list), and also someone else tells me about a space station for sale (also in my wishlist)

It makes me realize how popular this site is, and Robin should be very proud of it
