Bman is a legit seller and solid dude. Never bought a game from him but I know he's a busy collector in the region with a good rep'. He definitely has the bug!
As to your neighbor's fire pit, you might need more than a row of pine trees for privacy. You might need a tall, wooden fence. Of course, not even a fence will stop the smoke. Perhaps a giant industrial fan used to inflate blimps could be installed in your yard to push the smoke back. You could use it as a leaf blower, too, and your kids could use it to test their aero cycling gear.
