    Quoted from RWH:

    I did not lay all the blame at the OP's feet, if you'd read my post I said both are at fault. To simply say the seller is totally at fault is way to easy both failed in due diligence with this deal, to not recognize that is just being purposely obtuse.

    Yes but pretty much every person in this thread that has come to back Baller42069 clearly states that
    •he has good deals
    •things are priced to reflect condition
    •his communication skills are dogshit

    Since this person has such a clear reputation of this (lest we forget the Comet+Beef Combo Listing), it should be assumed that any buyer from this person needs to do their due diligence. I'm not here to back Baller666 at all, but if you can't handle the sticky business that is buying and selling in this hobby from people with wildly different skills and reputations, go collect stamps or something.

    Think about how this thread would have panned out if thing went like this:

    Title: Buyer Beware: Baller88

    Body Summary: Baller88's communication skills are subpar and the game I picked up sight unseen didn't exactly match the description. I'm not mad as I could have done more to prevent this, but just be sure to do a little more research before you shell out money/trade. Flip on!

    I don't think 100% of the blame needs to go on HockeyMuff for how the deal went down, but 1000% of the blame for creating a dumpster fire thread that shows nothing but immaturity and inability to take responsibility is on him for sure.

    Quoted from shacklersrevenge:

    Wait, what have I missed, comet with ground beef?
    I once bought a Stern Big Game from him four years ago, and inside the cabinet was a huge pack of hot dogs

    https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/for-sale-comet-33

    He deleted the photos but it was the most bizarre pinside listing of all time. There were a few bizarre blurry photos of Comet, then 5 pictures of a few 20lbs bags of ground beef, a screenshot of a mysterious text with some sort of wifi/account password, and a picture of like a doctor's office or something. It was unreal.

    Honestly I find every "shop out" thread pretty informative and interesting.

    Now how about chaining that thread title
