    Quoted from MrPaint:

    I have also found that a lot of owners do not know something is not working on the machine they are selling.

    Agree with that point. I have been buying and selling for more than 20 years. As a buyer I want to put my hands on the machine and feel comfortable that it is as advertised.

    But as a seller I am even more concerned that the buyer have full disclosure of the condition of any game that I sell.

    The furthest I’ve gone from western NC to pick up a machine is Washington DC. The furthest a buyer has come to pick up a machine from me is from California.

    Driving distance doesn’t matter to me if I am happy with the deal. I am usually buying or selling very nice machines and don’t want to deal with the small potential risk of damage during shipping. I also don’t want to ship a machine and have the buyer claim that there is something wrong with it. Also easier and safest to make payment if it is cash in hand.

    Quoted from skywyatt:

    That purchase was worth every mile. Machine has over 10k games on it now, love it so much! Thanks again

    Really glad you and your husband are still loving the BKSOR. That was a great experience getting to meet you guys!

    Encounters like that are why I prefer to sell or buy in person.
