    So far, this proves how valuable it is for me to travel the distance to get the machine. Having gone from never owning a pin, to now working on #7 and #8, it shows me the value of connecting with the seller (email, text, ph calls), then going out and working through the machine to verify its asking price.

    In a couple days, I will get behind the wheel for a 1,000 mile trek due north, to hopefully come home with a pin that I have been wanting since my days of youth!

    Youthful, but not born yesterday!

    Quoted from CAPinballFan:

    Hi all, new to the forum and very long time pinball fanatic... used to play all the time at Malibu Grand Prix if any of you folks are familiar with the 80's / 90's arcade. I used to have a decent collection before my last divorce and now I'm trying to build it back up again.
    I've already come across a couple obvious scammers (I can give you details if you like).... can't believe this guy hasn't been shut down yet (you wouldn't believe the crap he tried to pull). pinballsarcadegames.com (Scam City!!!)
    Anyways, long story short... anyone have any experience with bestpinballmachines.com
    I was thinking about buying a machine from him but couldn't find any real info on the company / website.
    Also, any advice on whether to avoid or the best ways to have a pinball machine shipped across country would be appreciated.

    MGP - off 58th in Denver!?!
    drop me a note. Im in Denver and started building my collection a year ago.
