interesting. I think a lot of us want to know the obvious- the back story on this. IE, who buys a pin NIB and lets it sit? For me, it would get opened and played or Sold, especially in this amount of time.

Otherwise, it just looks a little fishy, and rightfully so.

Probably only 'sells' to people who want it bad enough to ship. Then it's bye bye $$.

So many red flags. Protect yourselves if you're considering buying in this type of situation.

I would start by checking the geolocation data on the pictures the seller sends you, followed by some local references. Lots of pinheads near Dallas, surely one of them knows the seller.

This is legit. If you're local and interested in one (or more) of the games, come on over. TSPP is gone, and you can see from the buyer's feedback that he is thrilled with it. Pics coming for all the rest of the games that don't have a lot of pics right now. Thanks.

Something is not right here.

Seller ( pinballisfun ) put the TSPP he mentions up for sale on May 28th and marks it as sold on May 29th. He then receives feedback on the great condition of the game on May 29th.

Buyer (TCTX02) signs up just a few days ago (May 23rd) and the next day ( May 24th ) adds TSPP to his collection according to pinside pulse. This is before the TSPP ad was supposedly posted ( May 28th) so how is this possible?tspp_(resized).JPG

Sheesh. Such negativity. The seller is encouraging you to inspect the pins, so do it.

Who wouldn't spend $400 on a plane ticket to DFW to look at one of these games prior to shelling out big bucks?

My point is simply that our hobby is a cash and carry culture, this isn't amazon. Worst case, if you can't go see the pin, ask a friend nearby to do it for you.

Seller, GLWTS.

Sorry guys. This is legit. The noob referred to in this thead is a good friend of mine for over 20 years. He's the proud new owner of his first pin, a minty fresh TSPP. I was skeptical at first also. Another pinsider and I walked him through all the questions to ask, the additional pictures to get, etc.

He's got it in his home now. Came with only 1 ball but another pinsider in DFW hooked him up with the rest.

Please explain the con. Are you claiming he doesn't have the machine? Are you claiming he is misrepresenting the condition?

What exactly are you saying and what backs it up?

I think you're wrong hawkmoon. We're right to be skeptical but we also need to perform due diligence before claiming con. If you have evidence it's a con please share it.

He saying he will take a escrow which means if it is a scam the money would never release to him. I don't think he is scamming anyone. I am think about buying a game he has but his area is my old stopping grounds and I know a ton of people there so I would send someone over before I paid. He is firm on his prices and will not budge 1 penny. So, I would need to see it before I did the deal. If I pulled the trigger I tell you how it goes down. However I still think it's legit.

Hey...hey...hey!!! Would you stop all that "making sense" crap? Sheesh. Someone somewhere might catch on.

Remember, we are buying $8000 toys sight unseen before they even hit the market. We don't have time for plane trips and looking at stuff, and "trying before you buy"ing. We got to have it right here, right now, before we can even touch the game.
