Overall my Jack*Bot pin arrived in working order, save for the circuit board that controls the ball mech, as it wasn't recognizing trough 3 and was therefore kicking out 2 balls at a time after ball 1 was played. A quick resoldering of that particular board solved the issue. The paint and playfield on arrival were all absolutely beautiful and the internals of the machine were basically pristine.» Read moreThere were however some substantial issues with the shipping. I do not believe that any of these issues were directly the seller's fault, although the end result was me being up for 25 hours straight waiting on the shipping company to arrive, as they continually moved the goalposts on when the machine would be delivered. Requests to reorganize a more reasonable delivery date fell on deaf ears, and they just continued to push the window back a few hours at a time. On the way here the transport truck hit a deer, which ultimately caused damage to the side rails and a small crack in the plastic around the DMD, but the seller kindly refunded me the necessary money to buy new side rails for the machine which I was very appreciative of. When the driver got here he did not have an appliance dolly of any kind, so we had to carry the machine with the legs on 30 feet down my driveway at 7am after being awake for 25 hours. Not fun.
The seller was out of town during the time that I bought it so his sister (who assists him with packaging machines) handled the packaging. The process of FaceTimeing with her and going over the machine was pretty seamless, and she did an admirable job packing the machine. I'm not sure anything she or anyone else could have done would have prevented the damage the machine sustained when the truck hit a deer. I would however recommend that they do not ship machines with the legs on going forward. It's nothing short of a miracle that when the truck hit a deer the abrupt stop didn't snap a leg on the pin. Had there been other cargo in there with it at the time another piece of cargo could have gone flying into it and snapped a leg off all the same. Fortunately that didn't happen and the machine arrived, legs in tact.
With all that said, the actual internals of the machine, the paint, and the playfield, are all absolutely pristine. It's clear this machine was HUO for its entire life and was very much cared for. The pinball tech I had out to look at it after it arrived said it was quite possibly the cleanest JackBot he's ever seen.
Overall Ratings:
Seller Communication = B+
Shipping Experience = F (again, it was out of the seller's hands but I have to be honest about my experience)
Pricing = B (price wasn't unfair given the condition of the machine, but still on the extreme high end of what a JackBot is worth)
Machine Condition On Arrival = B+ (would have been an A+ if not for the siderail and DMD plastic damage)
Would I Buy From This Seller Again? = Yes, but I would rent a van and go pick up the machine myself in NY. YMMV.

Would not purchase anything from him. Went over machine on FaceTime before pickup. Asked no less than 5 times to be informed of any issues with the game as I was paying top dollar. Only issue noted was a few cabinet art dings. He packaged the machine up before I got there to save time (will never do again).» Read moreGet home and he took everything out of the goodie bag (which I commented on during FaceTime). No back box keys. Bolt snapped off in head of cabinet. Art blades applied terrible over old set poorly removed (already peeling at the top). Then to top it off he removed Mods from the machine (would bet money they are now installed in the premium he purchased). He removed pictures from ad to hide this. After 5 games shooter lane is finish is cracking so obviously a crappy fix by him. Buyers beware go over any machine with a fine tooth comb if purchasing from him.

Great and rapid transaction--contacted Chris on a Friday and I picked the machine up just three days later. Chris was very accommodating as I pestered him during an obviously busy weekend for him for additional photos and details, and he arranged for someone else to be there to handle pickup when he could not be there himself to accommodate my preferred schedule. A solid» Read moremachine at a fair price. Would be glad to purchase from him again.

I've purchased a machine from him months ago, it hasn't arrived here in New Zealand so I have no way of knowing the condition of the machine» Read moreits a bit scary chucking 1000's of dollars to a stranger in hope that they ship your purchase to a destination 6000 miles away .
but he returned my over payment , held the machine for weeks until I could get shipping together and was responding quickly to questions . we talked briefly on the phone and things were good , he sent pictures of the machine being packed and sent
I will be using this seller again.. excited to see the machine in person .
the buying experience was great , even from 6000 miles away
