Quoted from nicoy3k:My tip: use PayPal friends and family to pay for the machine and don’t send the full amount until your shipping provider confirms they are on the premises looking at the machine. Transferring with PayPal is instant.
Worst advice given in a long time on pinside. What you advise for shipping security is laughable at best, as for using family and friends any money sent that route is lost forever if anything goes amiss because you have no recourse to get funds returned.
