If you can afford it HEP. Expensive but it seems you do get what you pay for, that is if you are thinking in the long term. If you are the person who keeps a pin for a year then sells it, don't bother.

Keep in mind HEP only offers restoration services, so he'd still have to have a base game to send to HEP.
Pre-owned HEPs do pop up every now and then.
Yeah finding a base game at a reasonable price I'm sure can be a bitch, then pasting on that 5K or so for the full restoration labor and parts, then waiting months in the process. You must really love and want a game in tip top shape to even bother. I plan to give my top fave 3 pins the HEP treatment after I move into my new home when I find it sometime later this year. These are games I'm gonna want to keep for a long long time, and my first three pins to boot.
Quoted from BinGhanem:I'm also having the same issue here, had to buy my last two pins depending on photos and I assure you they do not look the same lol
I do not mind paying little extra, to buy from a trusted dealer than buying from people I do not know/trust on E-bay
there are many people here I'd love to buy from as gambit mentioned.
I have couple of dealers, they msg me whenever they have a new or interesting pin, and if the price is good and the cash is available, I go a head and buy it, I already shipped one pin from US to Dubai, and it cost around 500$, not bad
I hear you. I feel paying a bit more for a reputable source or dealer is worth it for the peace of mind you get. There are just too many douche bags out there.
