“I've dealt with James a couple times over the years. Always a smooth transaction.”
“Bought an X-Men pro from James and love it. It needed small minor work (around magnets and some minor playfield wear), but James was up front about it and completely honest. He was great to deal with all the way through the process of the purchase. He even followed up afterwards to see how I liked the machine.”
“Bought and shipped me a HUO RBION. No issues. Easy to deal with. Great game.”
James and I have been buying and selling machines from each other for years. He's an easy guy to deal with and I've never had a bad transaction with him. Upstanding guy and has always been fair with his games. Buyers need to understand if you are getting a game off route, not HUO you are in for an experience. These machines break, and are finicky. Fixing and adjusting is one of my favorite aspects of pinball.» Read moreBuy with confidence from James, I know I will and, in fact I'll buy him a beer as thanks next time I see him.
“Machine was as he described no surprises. Never met James but all went well when I picked up the machine. A couple of plastics were missing but he sent them to me at no charge. I would recommend dealing with James anytime. I was nervous about paying in full for the machine before picking it up but not anymore.
Great guy to deal with.”
“Great guy easy to deal with. Game was as described.”

I did not meet James in person. I had one of my golf course employees volunteer to drive to pick up these two machines. The report that I got back is that James was a great guy to work with, he helped load and secure both of these machines, and couldn't have been a nicer person.» Read moreWhen I received the machines, I found them to be better than described in the advertisement.
Both machines are now at Paul's Pinball Palace in Newport, ME. The Jungle Lord only needs to be cleaned up a little bit and it will be ready to go. The back glass was nearly perfect, and the overall condition of the game is excellent.
When Paul saw the Black Knight, all he and his wife could say was 'wow!' The cabinet was nearly perfect, easily 9.9 out of 10. There was very little wear on the play field, and overall it is in great condition. The back glass was as described. Paul is going to do a total restoration on this machine and said that he's never seen a Black Knight in this good of original condition. Barring any unforeseen circumstances in my life, this will never leave my collection.
I am beyond happy with my purchase, and I hope to have the opportunity to work with James again in the future.

“ShacklersRev is one of the good guys here. He proved very helpful when I was getting started out in this hobby. Have bought, sold and traded at my location and even met up at rest areas on Mass Pike to make trades....
Hoping to cut some deals again soon.”
