    Quoted from cottonm4:

    On the outside chance that you have missed my post in this fast moving thread, there is a MB located 100 miles from you.

    Did you contact a CGC distributor to see if they have any in stock? I believe they are still available.

    Nope. If it was one of a kind, maybe. Patience will land you one locally.

    If I was buying a NIB MB I would be after the SE . I think they are still being made !

    After contacting bigchief he called me we talked. He didn't like the escrow idea. After I text asking for a picture of the LE number with my wifes name written on the note and he replied "listen I was going out of my way typing novels, showing how it works. Not sure what you guys want". Wife made me walk away. Thanks for all the help guys.

    Wait for one to pop up within driving distance and bring a stack of hundreds.

    Glad she made you walk away. It really wasn’t good from the beginning.

    Patience is very important. Don’t ever trick yourself into thinking your current deal is the only option. Others will come along. They always do.

    Put up a want add. If you’re on Facebook , join some of the buy/sell groups and float want ads there too. Like everyone else has said, try and make this an in-person buy. And always be willing to walk. You might need to drive an hour or two, but it’s the best way to protect your cash.

    You also have to understand this hobby has a lot of people that dont' want to deal with a bunch of extra stuff that's new, read older folks. People that have been in the hobby for decades don't want to deal with new escrow websites, facetiming, etc. It's just one of those things in this case that buyer and seller have different ideas on how to do a deal. His game will sell and OP, you'll find what you are looking for.

    Like many others have said buying in person is best, especially for first pin. Even if you load and transport yourself and get the game home there may be a diode lose from travel vibration/moving that caused a coil not to fire. Happended to me. However, if you check it out first, you know it was fine before and can't be mad at seller. You buy with someone else shipping and that happens the first thought is the seller hid something. These machines are finicky for sure.

    It looks like these guys have a Special Edition in stock.

    Don’t buy anything used without seeing it in person.Pictures just don’t show enough detail most of the time. When in doubt walk away.
