Quoted from bigehrl:i never understood this endorsement, especially in the context of substantiating a huge markup. I'm not saying the game is, or isn't worth the asking price. But what does the seller being awesome and his sweet collection have to do with it? I mean, if i pay the highest price ever paid on Pinside for this Tron, does it include the seller's ongoing friendship, and allow me unadulterated access to his amazing pinball lineup, any time i choose? if not, the existence of the machine and it's condition is really all we need to know.
*I should mention, I'm sure he's a good dude. Not taking anything away from that.
I think a person’s collection and knowledge of pinball make a huge difference on buying a 20-year old machine that we have no idea of the history, especially for such a high ask. I always feel better buying (and blindly sending funds) to a knowledgeable pinhead that I know has nice stuff and takes care of it, as if this is the case, the for sale item is probably quite nice! I think these comments are of extreme value to somebody considering it. I just bought a similar low play HUO LE for a high number (although not this much), and hope he gets the ask! OP - good luck with the sale!
