Has anybody pointed out yet that one of the values of buying on pinside may be the community of informed and hopefully unbiased opinions that are submitted on a for sale ad? For those of us new to the hobby there is a lot to digest when buying a new pin....especially site unseen. i find that the scrutiny of the for sale ads (both positive and negative) help me make a more informed decision and, of course, take all of them with a grain of salt realizing that many are just opinions. when negative feedback is given on an ad, I find that if that feedback is unfair, there are twice as many pinsiders that counter the argument. And if it's not defended than perhaps the criticism is valid and helps a buyer make a decision that is in their best interest. And, as with all things, there is a right way and a wrong way to do things. Don't be an a$$ to make yourself feel better about your superior knowledge of a hobby/machine.... as great as it is.
