I read some positive comments from fellow Pinsiders about their purchases made from Gameroom Collectibles and wondered if there were positive or negative feelings about a couple other prolific ebay sellers of pinball?
They all appear to sale their machines at a premium, I'm sure largely because they have overhead costs they have to cover. Is the quality and piece of mind you get from them worth the premium price?
Quoted from jar155:Don't buy from Fun...
Have you had a bad experience with fun, or know of one?
Quoted from SilverBallz:Of course it's with the premium.
Search RGP and pinside.
Sorry, RGP?
RGP is one of the oldest (if not the oldest) newsgroup for pinball. Good luck.

I've purchased from FUN and Prestige. Both sent me relatively clean playfields. Prestige was better. I think FUN was overpriced a bit for the condition of the playfields.. Prestige sent me a game that needed repair. It was probably just an oversight.

For the prices their asking. I would have expected better products overall.

If you are looking for some online dealers, I bought 2 games from Curly at Little shop of games, he has been awesome to deal with as Ive also ordered various parts and a rottendog dmd board from him.
edit- I just checked, seems he has nothing in stock via online inventory, but if you call him Id bet he's got stuff in the pipeline.
