OP - Why didn't you just hit up an ATM? I do it all the time. Just call your bank quick, raise the limit on the ATM card, then go to any bank's ATM and start pulling out cash. Bank ATMs will let you pull out more money per transaction. Most banks are at least $500, some are even $1000. So you would have only had $15 in fees at the most. I do this on just about every pin I buy. Unless I know well in advance and have time to go get the cash.

This far into you pinball hobby, you should know by now that you have to act quick on deals, and that no deal is done until cash is exchanged and the pin is in your vehicle. Unfortunately, most people's "word", means shit.
