Quoted from galore2112:There’s no way I would show up at a stranger’s house or have a stranger show up at mine with $10k in cash.
That’s one reason why I don’t pinvest.
Chances are that if someone is dropping that much money on a pin, they're typically not new to the pinball community.
Quoted from Aurich:Nobody I know in this hobby, and I know quite a lot, has ever been robbed trying to buy a pinball.
It's happened once 3 years ago, but it's also the only incident I've ever heard of.

The person involved later shared his account of the incident, but I can't seem to find it right now. I'm not sure if it was a post here, one of the facebook groups, or in a podcast.
