After reading this entire thread, I don't want to deal with either of the parties. Ever.

Quoted from drsfmd:Wow. So now it’s Pinside’s fault? You’ll blame anyone other than yourself.
Here we go again... no but pinside enables this guy in a way. No other Hobbyist website would let the same guy have 4 accounts. Yet alone after deals gone bad, regardless of his corrective action. 90% of my trades have been from members here 99% great people. Once again I have taken part of the blame. But the main part of this thread was to warn unsuspected people.
Sounds like some need a lesson in ethics and character building, and judging by some of the rebuttals you guys have no problem with not disclosing things as it’s the “buyers responsibility”
Quoted from Barakawins1:Hockeymutt. Post the game running and get that guy's board that offered it. That will teach em all.
Thanks working on that!
Quoted from hockeymutt:But hey as long as he pays his fees all is ok on pinside. Seems like the theme is they get payed and turn the other way. Even tho they host a way for this guy to broker tax free deals for a business. He should also have to listed as a business here and held to the same standards and yearly fee. Hell just keep being allowed to circumvent the system till another person like myself gets for a lack of. Better word “robbed” This time isnt my first hobby were trading and buying type of stuff. ( game used pro hockey equipment, car parts countless car parts, and not once have i had to change my username. The other crazy thing is on Facebook groups and these types of sites usually after the second time he burns ( most the time the first) someone, a swift boot is given. And ip is recorded

Moderator feedback thread would probably be a good place to ask: https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/forum/moderator-feedback
Might mention the multiple accounts while you’re communicating with them.
Quoted from DakotaMike:Hmm, maybe they never wiped the flux off the board when they removed the old caps?
That’s elementary board repair 101.
Also the mother board looks like it took a dip as well
Quoted from yzfguy:Didn't you drain this thread three pages ago??
Yup but the comments keep on coming

Must have been with a cocktail in its hand.
Am I the only one that wants to see the board work and this game operational now? Turn the thread into a restore thread!

Quoted from spikelou2:Because you said , you have never sold games before ..Why you victim shaming ..baller88 is a fraudster
You’ve sold many many games. Have you paid tax on them? No.
By your own words, you’re the “fraudster”

You have no idea what he paid for them. I know a number of collectors who lose money on almost every game they own. I don't get it, but they happily do it.
Quoted from dung:You have no idea what he paid for them. I know a number of collectors who lose money on almost every game they own. I don't get it, but they happily do it.
So you honestly think he LOST money on selling a LAH at 3500 and a JP at 3600?
C'mon man. Just stop.

I don't know if Blackbeard needs to get laid or not but I do know he needs a Grand Lizard Good luck in the search Blackbeard. At least I know he has good taste in pins because GL is an amazing game!!

I think if you are going to play this game , you need to look at total sales over a year for tax purposes and not just one single game. So maybe someone made 100 bucks on one game and lost 200 on another. That is a net loss of 100 with no tax implications for the seller. You have no idea what he paid so you have no idea what the net is over a year. Experience says that the only games that show "profit" are B/W games held for a while for most of the collectors. Those games aside I bet. I am mostly negative on sales

You're missing the point.
Lou came on here and bashed baller for NOT paying taxes on his sales. Clearly he has some old beef w the baller.
I chimed in that it's pretty hypocritical of Lou to say he should pay taxes when in fact, Lou ALSO sells games. Lou then defends it, saying he has no taxable gains, which i then called bullshit on.
Love pinside.

Haha, Thanks Yesh.
Who doesn't need to get laid?
Quoted from hockeymutt:Thanks working on that!
You should, Tony has nice stuff and is a good guy to deal with.
Wow, and just when I thought this thread was dead! Seeing that there have been like 200 new friggin posts! Crap, I need to get back to work!

By beef do you mean simply being aware of the thread where the guy sells games as a business but takes paypal Friends&family as payment?

You don't need to be columbo here to connect these dots...

Wow stalker .... and yes I lost or broke even on all these games ....dude sent you my cell why don’t you call me vs bashing my rep
Quoted from spikelou2:Wow stalker .... and yes I lost or broke even on all these games ....dude sent you my cell why don’t you call me vs bashing my rep
Last thing i wanna do with my time is chit-chat with some random dude from the internet. I'd rather waste away my workday posting babble here.
And i'll always call BULLSHIT that you lost or broke even on all your sales. You're full of shit bro. Period.
It may have made best of pinside but still doesnt have the fun and drama that tote gate had or the ultimate turn around that baywatch had....
Just saying.
Just a bunch of bashing , defending and side battles.
He said .she said.
Just make the game run or reverse trade.
Quoted from adborto:This thread reminds me of 2020......
Key takeaways:
1) Distributors are easier to deal with
2) Only buy from friends or someone that you trust
3) Stranger danger
4) Paypal is not good
5) When is JAWS coming out?
6) We need a new topic category that is labeled as IGRO - I Got Ripped Off.
7) I have empathy for the OP. I have been ripped off before.
8) Never spend what you can't loose
Number 8 is the most important. Btw. Sorry for your troubles hockeymutt. Its a sucky situation.
I hope it all works out ok. With that said, this is the only buyer that I went to buy something and never came back home with it. That’s fine but I learned to get what you may overpay for.
And why do so many have multiple screen names and get to stay?

Exactly my thought...
