    Simple.. and its been said. Non transferable, non refundable deposit. Or.. just non transferable for those life events. At least then the buyer is somewhat committed to their flip.. they will have to take possession, pay shipping, tax, etc.. Lowers their margin some. Won't end flipping but may slow it some. It is a little disheartening that we've been wanting a GZ and keep seeing them for sale NIB for 2-3k or more than retail. Idk... maybe the pinball hobby just has lots of peeps that routinely change their mind on $10k purchases..
