As you're new, what you haven't seen is years worth of pin-collectors being preyed upon and scammed, not only by new Pinsiders, but also new pinball companies, and this has been accelerating with the increased popularity.

Reputation here matters more than most forums (particularly when selling).

Your first appearance being an attempt to profit off the community after snagging two sought after LEs could never have gone well.

"Punished" is a very bizarre word to use.

Is it so hard to believe that the community will prefer to deal with those with a track record of honesty and contributing to the community?

Most new users are accepted here with open arms, but flipping an LE with that "wallet" comment, then continuing on with snarky remarks will indeed leave a bad impression.

Perhaps you didn't read what you wrote yourself, and will twist any scenario to absolve yourself of any responsibility.

You suggested you were being punished merely because you're new, yet, you gave people a reason to be upset regardless of how long you've been here, then proceeded to make it clear you're rich and above us.

Good luck.

Then please refrain from saying that we cannot afford to pay in full for machines, while making it clear that you can. That's putting yourself above.
