    PayPal is a joke and any seller with even half a brain wouldn't use it for anything more than a small deposit. In person cash transactions are the best way to go in this hobby.

    Quoted from jwilson:

    Cash talks, bullshit walks.
    This is a sellers market. I had a garage full of beater projects and I sold every single game in two days, no questions, no asking for more photos.
    Someone else mentioned it - the more talking and gemming and hawing, the less buying. Serious people get right to the point, no chit-chat, no photos of shooter lanes.
    The reality is, there’s a couple of other guys right behind you NOT asking questions or wanting photos. I’d rather deal with them.

    With "beaters" I can understand that attitude as a seller. The terms are very different though, If its situations where I'm driving several hours and shelling out several thousand dollars for a pin. I'm going to need to see pics that give me a good idea of the condition of the game before I waste my time and gas driving to look at a pin. Taking a dozen or so good quality pics isnt hard to do.
