    Even Pinside has its faults with sellers. There are a couple guys on here that post rare, CQ or HUO pins asking top dollar and then post only 2-3 pics. They say contact them for more pics. I send a PM and still never get a response (and I see they’ve checked onto Pinside daily). I’m willing to pay top money for the right game (see my collection), but guess these sellers aren't serious.

    Quoted from CaptainNeo:

    you should never really buy games that you can't pick up in person. only exception is for really rare games that you only see once every 10 years.

    Not necessarily true. I wish I could inspect and pick up games in person. Every game in my collection was bought sight unseen and shipped. I live in a pinball desert and don’t have the luxury of driving across town (or even a couple hours) to see a pin in person. I trust photos and sellers’ reputations.

    Either this is a seriously one-sided thread or I’m a rare bird here. I have NEVER put “cash on the glass”. Ok, never say “never”; I wrote a check for my first pin back in 1984 and again in 2000 to Mark Darby for ToM and CV.
    All my other pins, more that forty, were bought from pinsiders sight unseen and paid via PayPal, bank check or wire transfer. Never a problem, never a complaint... Long distance buying is my only option.
