So topic title will get some attention and I will say that I have bought a few pins quite a distance from me and shipped with great experiences .. but last spring I lost about 10k from scams for listings ...

Now twice in the last month comminications are super bad -after saying I will buy the pin just have to arrange the pickup etc .. then deleting ads so no history and no ghosting me completely .

It’s 2020 google can find anyone and most their numbers etc. We have text , phone calls , emails , also PM through pinside which even shows the date you past were on ...

I’m just a bit pissed as I lost two great pins now cause people can’t pick up the phone or text .. sadly I live as far north as I-75 goes so I can’t show up same day and usually line things up with navl or bob Cunningham to pickip ... Just be kind some of us are genuinely excited and interested when we find a pin we want and to lose it because of not communicating sucks .

Kudos to the ones that have messaged back and been real smooth in dealing . The others ... we’ll be kind this is supposed to be a fun collection hobby and it sure doesn’t take long to text a quick message or pm to say what’s going on or update .

Cheers everyone the show goes on and the hunt continues
