Quoted from CaptainNeo:you have to remember. You guys look for shopped games in peoples collections. You don't buy dirty routed games, or reimports that just came off a container. You are buying stuff that has already been cleaned up, new rubbers and what not. Those arn't the games I typically buy. If you are willing to do the work, do the drive, games are typically much cheaper. if you want plug and play, you are going to pay for it.
Please, teach us your ways, o great project pinball master
