Looks like he has zero activity here besides signing up. Always leary of PayPal. Just my 2 cents Tim

To easy to be burned by Paypal, I would go direct bank transfer. No offence to your buyer, but months later transactions could be disputed and you will be fighting to get money back !
Sorry just a little bitter as this happened to me and Paypal will not help you at all

Toronto has a pretty close-knit community. I personally don’t think I know him, but if he has done business with others here, ask him who, and I’m sure they can provide some sort of worthiness check, if he deserves it.
Though you might also consider having him send you e-transfers for a few days instead?

There’s zero reason to use PayPal for a sale within Canada. E transfer only. If he insists on PayPal then walk away.

In Ontario, you pay 13% based on the invoice price you have paid. If you stay over 48 hours, you can deduct $800US from the purchase price.

You can ship the game to my place and once you get paid in full, he can pick it up. Can't you make sure you get paid in full before you ship the game? There is no risk at your end. When I bought two games recently from out west, I paid the sellers in full before they shipped the game.

Seems like a great price for a rare game. The low plays is amazing!

He said he would pay in full that’s not the problem. But he wants to do business PayPal for the transaction. I suggested etransfer but he wants to do PayPal he says we are both protected that way.

I have done PayPal before. If you must do PayPal DO NOT go with business. Go with friends and family.

As others mentioned going PayPal business can screw you if buyer tries to get his money back. You will also be paying a pretty hefty fee.

I have done PayPal before (rarely) but it has always been through F&F.

I suspect if he is legit the reason he wants to use PayPal might be because he can use a credit card to pay instead of cash which you can't do by etransfer.

I wouldn't trust PayPal. The buyer runs the show and the seller is the only one at risk of getting screwed. F-that! E-Transfer only.

I've only bought one game that I didn't pick up in person, and I paid using e-transfer. I had to do three e-transfers over three days due to having a $2000 daily cap, but the seller and I both had no problem with that. There's no fees, and its the safest route for the seller. As the buyer, I just made sure to do my due diligence with the seller, though that was easy as I had several other pinsiders message me and vouche for him.
Overall, I couldn't have asked for a better experience for my first time buying a game remotely. Thanks again derekbro .
Hopefully you guys can work out a deal that everyone feels safe with. I just thought I'd chime in that I went the route as a buyer who sent e-transfer, and everything worked out nicely.

Paypal will protect him as the buyer, will do next to nothing to protect you as the seller. Something goes wrong in shipping, the buyer thinks you misled him on something, he will have all the power, you will be boned.

Thanks for all reply’s. Dont want to fill this thread with pins not for sale. Thats all I need to many red flags. And no one Spoke up and his behalf. If he won’t send etransfer I’m out.
Thanks again Tim

Good call, if a buyer won’t do en etransfer for a Canada - Canada sale.......then they aren’t a buyer.

Just wanted to give a shoutout to wolffcub who picked up a game from me yesterday. Great buyer, on time, super easy transaction, and fun to chat with! Also be sure to check out his insanely awesome and detailed playfield artwork recreation/restoration on a Stern Dragonfist playfield. It blew me away! https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/dragonfist-restore-and-facelift

De star wars is now sold!

Flash Gordon is still available

Sorry, not pinball related, but I can't even find these online, let alone locally in any store. I'm looking to find Bigs Simply Salted Pumpkin seeds. Anyone that can find and ship me some bags by expresspost, I'll gladly pay for them by paypal. No, I don't want spitz brand...

Rob

Seems fishy...better demand e-transfer everyone

shush!

Rob

Seriously? I think they have them at Walmart, of all places...lol

Just repeating as it’s important. Paypal protects buyer 100% and zero protection for seller. Therefore as a seller you cannot allow paypal payment. There are many threads that will attest to this some where buyer has been fully refunded and even kept the pin.

EMT offers the seller 100% protection and the buyer zero. At some point there has to be a leap of faith taken or due diligence with referrals you trust one way or the other.

I’m of the opinion that if the shoe was on the other foot and there was someone here asking for info about an unknown seller people would be saying only use PayPal and that any seller that doesn’t take PayPal is a serious red flag so walk away.

Fantastic looking game from chaz009, if I ever find the time to do my Shadow, I'll improve things along that way! Beautiful job on those metal parts, wow! And it's a great, fun game!

Thanks so much man! It’s a beauty and even more fun to play.

How about an original, with a new playfield installed.
Where are you located.

Sorry, looking for a remake. I'm in Ontario.

Hi all,

It is with a heavy heart that I am putting up my damn near flawless Medieval Madness remake pinball machine for sale. This was from the MMr Standard release put out by CGC. Manufacture date is Septemebr 22, 2017. Since purchasing, I have re-clear coated the playfield, installed the color chip ($300 US mod), installed a full set of Cliffys and Mantis protectors, installed Pin-stadium Fusions (which are $400 US - willing to sell separate but it adds so much to the game), installed a shaker motor, a few eye pleasing mods (Catapult, Dragon, Wizard, Swords on Flipper, Metal Castle Decal, and flipper button protectors), Shaker Motor, and last but not least, the limited edition Alternate back glass from Flyland Designs (I also have the original trans-light as well). Any questions please do not hesitate to contact. Want $12,500 obo. Not willing to move too much on this one. Thanks

I'm curious. With a "heavy heart" you're selling your toy. How do you actually function on a day to day existence in the world as we know it?

QSS

It’s one of the things I’ll never understand that some people put in fs ads. Makes me cringe every time I see it.

Funny enough every time I see it it’s followed by an ask that imho is too high.

For example if someone put 2K of mods into a game not realizing that they don’t necessarily add value you might say this in an attempt to recoup your mod money.

Don’t hate. Just my opinion and also pet peeve.

I do not want to sell it all but I need the cash for home renovations. I am guessing further elaboration was needed.

I also hate when ads put things like "Very rare, sought after <insert very common C-list machine> pinball machine" or when they throw in over-the-top flowery language to try and sell to you.

You guess incorrectly.

You don’t need to tell people why you selling.

Just post the game, info about it and price or trades.

Also skip the heavy heart stuff.

Ignore the haters man. Lots of real tough guys in here lining up to buy cartoon super hero pins. lol.

I'm adding TMNT pro to my wanted list now too. Though I'm guessing it makes most sense just to buy this one new still. But here's my updated wanted list:
Guardians of the galaxy (pro or prem)
Lord of the rings (pro or LE)
Simpsons pinball party
Ghostbusters (pro or prem)
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (pro)

That's a very nice list indeed!
