    Hey Everyone.

    Fast Eddie is picking up a machine for me down in NC. and delivering it up here to me in Massachusetts. He'll be coming out of the NY area to start, so I want to get a full delivery run together for him to make it more worth his while and a little cheaper for us.

    That said, does anyone need transportation service either shipping down from New England to the Carolinas and of course, does anyone need anything shipped up here to the New England area from down there?

    Anywhere along the way he can do and he can fit 5 to 6 machines on his truck each way at 1 time.

    This will probably fill up fast, so make it known here what you need so Eddie can get his itinerary together.

    Thanks and happy, healthy new year to everyone.

    Derek.

    Also, if anyone is interested, I have a gorgeous Pinball Magic for sale that Eddie can take down to you if you're down south. Check out my for sale ad. I just had a deal on it fall through last week.

    Here's my ad link.

    https://pinside.com/pinball/market/classifieds/ad/148351

    Also, the person who's WCS94 I bought in NC. has an absolutely gorgeous CV for sale. So if you been looking for one that's complete with the scrolls and are up here in NJ, NY or New England, now's the time to grab it.

    If not for wanting a Godzilla Premium, I'd buy his CV too.

    I want extend my apologies to everyone who looked into this thread and were making shipping plans. Unfortunately, the seller pulled out of our in place deal to sell to a local buyer. Unreal. Smh.

    Anyway, I'll be calling Eddie in a few hours to tell him this run is cancelled. But by all means, if everyone has machines they need shipped, Eddie is an awesome choice. Not only has he been doing this for years, he's also the nicest guy you could hope to meet. Grade "A", top notch pin brother. Your game will arrive issue and worry free.

    I'm actively looking for a nice WCS94, so if I find one that needs to be shipped, I'll start another "F.E." moving thread.

    Thanks everyone and my apologies again.

    I just got off the phone with Eddie and told him what happened with my seller selling his machine to someone else.

    I also told him a few people are interested in a few deliveries along this route. He said he's in for this run and for anyone who's interested to just give him a call to work things out.

    The great things with Eddie is that he wraps machines up so they can withstand a nuclear blast, and as more people add deliveries on the route, he charges less per person too. I tip him anyway so it evens out, because this guy works hard. But he really cares about people and getting them their machines in perfect shape and as cheaply as possible. Can't recommend Eddie highly enough.

    In the meantime, I'm hoping I find a machine soon and get back in on this route run myself. Anyone selling a nice WCS94 or a modded out Godzilla Premium, please let me know.

    Thanks everyone.
    Derek.

    I'm trying to put together a run for Eddie. I am in Ga., so if anybody between Atlanta, Ga. and Albany, Ny. has anything going, let's try to put a Fast Eddie run together. I have 2 pins that need to get to the D.C. area. I assume there needs to be 5 or 6 total deliveries to make it good for all parties.

    I just spoke with Eddie. He was in an accident early this AM. Multicar pileup. He's a little banged up.... just leaving the ER now.... but overall thankful as it could have been much worse.

    His truck did not fare so well..... he'll be unable to assist us for a stretch here. Very disappointing for him as he just placed that truck on the road too. Best wishes as he gets back on his feet

    Wow, glad he’s okay! That sucks about the truck. It’s never with some old beater, it’s always when you buy a new vehicle!!

    Hope Eddie recovers... fast he’s the man, and clearly has a passion for driving.

    Oh man, that's terrible! I feel awful for Ed, but I'm so glad he's okay.

    I thank you for letting us know that Cullen. I'm gonna have to wish him a get well soon text.

    Most importantly, vehicles come and go. Insurance can pay for another vehicle, but you can never replace life or limbs. So I'm thankful that he's okay.

    Oh no! But it sounds like he's OK, thankfully. Hope the insurance comes through, he was so excited about the new truck. Eddie was just here day after Christmas, jolly as ever. Loaded him up with home baked chocolate chip cookies for the road. Santa with a Jersey accent.

    update per fast eddie. he wants you all to know he is ok. he is going to be off duty for a few weeks until he decides whether or not to go back on the road or call it quits. these are his exact words and wanted me to post them exactly like this. he wants to thank you all for the support and best wishes he will let me know as soon as he decides and i will post an update then. of course you can call him and speak to him directly just doing as he requested me so that there are no misunderstandings.

    Shit. I can totally understand his apprehension in getting back on the road. The dude is 73 or something! He’s amazing protecting the games and they always end up in perfect condition

    I’d be willing to throw him a few bones just to support him, whether he hangs it up or not.

    Eddie is 76 and one of the absolute nicest/best people out there and a totally awesome pin brother. If he has to retire because of this, I think we should start a thank you retirement fund for him here on Pinside to help him out. JS.

    I’m in. He’s one of “those guys” - keeping the hobby alive, a total character, and a legend in own right. I’ve met a lot of “characters” in this hobby, and not all of them are real great as humans. He’s the nicest, most up front dude I’ve met

    He really doesn’t like them, last I recall, he shut down one because it’s something he genuinely enjoys and he doesn’t want “extra money”

    I could be wrong, but for some people it is genuinely about doing a job you enjoy and the money is merely a formality.

    I could be talked into doing a road trip from Boston to FL at the end of the month. Enclosed trailer. Insured to move games. So I don't get inundated with PMs can everyone just start dropping zip codes of drop offs and pick ups.

    Yeah. I'll get a map drawn out of what I'm willing to do. Don't know that I would be as inexpensive as Eddie but I'd definitely take the same level of care, and would also be willing to discuss game room deliveries vs just getting it to someone's driveway.

    I just talked to Eddie. He's in the process of buying a new truck as we speak. So it sounds like hopefully the insurance should cover it all. He sounded so excited about his new (now totaled) truck I guess it just wasn't meant to be. If he gets stuck with hospital bills or if insurance doesn't fully pay for the truck I would gladly chip in.

    Nice guy!

    That was just before his accident when the new truck got totaled. Eddie went from my place to yours on that trip through VA. He looked tired so I offered our guest room on his way back up north from Richmond. He politely declined.

    When I spoke with him on the phone after the accident it sounded like he was ready to retire. He told me he didn't need the money, he just enjoyed staying busy and being a part of pinball. Sweet guy.
