I’m so upset. Broken unobtanium.

Future Spa is super-popular at my house and the backglass is my favorite. Well, WAS my favorite. I took the glass out and my right hand just lost grip (had wrist surgery 10 years ago and it happens). The glass dropped less than an inch and the corner must have hit just right on the rail and it EXPLODED.

To make it worse, my two young daughters were there and they were in tears.

I don’t have much hope of finding another. Can’t believe I did this. Bad day.

BLAH!

Thanks to sixtyfourbits and TheHueManatee I might get a replacement! Hopefully it all works out. Thanks guys!

Nah! Everyone calmed down, I swept it up, then they were back at it...

No less than three Canadian pinsiders were involved in making this happen. We'll have to post the whole story at some point, but suffice it to say these guys have gone above and beyond to make this happen for me. Really impressive and I am very grateful for their efforts.

I love that this backglass is missing the diffuser paper behind the logo, because that's the one piece I have left!

Looks amazing and I’m very grateful to all who helped get this to me. Thanks again!

Kind of a roller coaster getting this. The story roughly goes...

I emailed the seller in that kijiji ad and she was very succinct. I asked if the glass was still available, she replied “yes” with her address. Ok... weird. So I mailed back and asked for her phone number. Called and called for a couple days but no answer. Once, I got a call back but she hung up on me. Finally later I tried once more and she answered. Sounded like an older lady, she said she didn’t answer my calls because it wasn’t a local number and thought I was pranking her. Ok, fair enough. Then she drops the bomb on me... “I just promised it to someone else, they’re coming Monday”. I tried to outbid the other guy (maybe a jerk move) but she wouldn’t budge. Good for her, bad for me.

At this point I thought it was over. I had talked to ImNotNorm on the phone earlier and he was going to pick it up and ship it if I got it. So I called him to give him the bad news. We both figured I got sniped and feared someone saw the ad posted in this thread and jumped on it. ImNotNorm didn’t give up and he somehow figured out another local pinsider DID get the glass, but not to poach it... he wanted to make sure I got it!

We collectively all realized the seller could get spooked easily, so then ImNotNorm arranged with the real buyer to get the glass and get it to him to pack up and ship. And it made it! He did a great job packing it up.

What a great community.
