    They have several Pin's that I have been looking for but can't get a response out of them. I have messaged and e-mailed them but no response yet. Just curious if anyone on here has had any dealing with them. Thanks

    Thanks for the quick response. I will make sure to steer clear of that sight.

    If you're looking to buy new, only buy from authorized distributors. If the distro is not listed on the company's website, they are not an authorized distributor. if you buy at any of these reseller type websites, make sure you can inspect the machine in person and deal with cash. Anything else is a red flag. Doesn't matter what they say.

    Their website is registered to a town in Iceland. Not in Chicago, and not legit.

    That's a scammer site.

    If you're looking for a legitimate retailer, look at the thread dr_nybble linked to. Each game manufacturer lists their distributors and their locations. I'd start there.
