Quoted from too-many-pins:My "journey" selling used pinball parts online has "officially" come to an end tonight. I just took the last of my listings down and am in the process of packing the balance of my parts up to deliver to Matt (the guy who bought the parts business from me I have talked about earlier in this thread).
It has been a "fun journey" and I have enjoyed helping hundreds (or thousands) of people in the hobby getting machines and parts they were looking for over the years. I still have not decided if I am going to close my account here or not but I wanted to say goodbye here (at least for now). I might post from time to time sometime down the road but right now I need to focus on other things in my life.
THANKS to all my past customers and to all the people who have helped me over the years. Pinball just wouldn't be the same without all of you. In the 12+ years I have been in the hobby over 600 machines have pasted through my hands and tens of thousands of parts have also gone to new homes. I did all I could to "work with and help" as many people as possible get project machines and parts at "fair prices" and it has been a fun journey. But my back, knees & feet are telling me the model railroad hobby makes a lot more sense at this point in my life. If anyone reading this knows of any good model railroad forums please reach out and tell me about them. I am just getting ready to start a new adventure and will need all the help I can get.
THANKS AGAIN TO EVERYONE! Skip
Hey, stick around a bit. Just because you aren't selling anymore doesn't mean you can't still be part of Pinside. Happy New Year!
