I ended up buying a pro.
Quoted from Leeps:Mark. I understand the frustration. I'm simply not interested in shipping it and risking damage. I know people do it every day, I'm just not comfortable with it. Sorry!
Ok so this is still a local sale only? I mean I could have just told you "my friends will be there in a white van to pick it up". It's really no difference to you. Once your paid, damage is my issue as you're not shipping it, I'm picking it up. Anyways, it's totally moot now. Price is good. I hope it sells for you soon.
True- Once Navl pulls out their checklist and touches the pin, it's their problem and your pin-
I've shipped with NAVL over a dozen times with fine results.
Great price on this, GL
Sorry for my inexperience people jeez! Haha... I simply never shipped a pin before and didn't want to deal with all the hassle. It certainly sounds like NAVL is the way to go. After listening to the people, I will be open to shipping with NAVL. Your voice matters!
Good decision - I think you will be pleasantly surprised how easy it is. Make sure you ship it on legs - much easier 
Sellers choice, regardless shipping can be a pain. Seeing in person and picking up with cash is by far my favorite option, however I do ship when need be (it's not too bad).
Matt - the NAVL local crew in the Dayton area is real good. They can pick up on legs or take it palletized. I've shipped many from here.

Super easy to deal with, they come in, look it over and you only have to lift a finger to sign the paper work. They usually wrap in blankets and shrink and they're gone.
Super nice price on this pin, I would love to grab it but can't right now. Someone grab this!!

A true pinhead will take the time to prep it better/properly, before they pick it up. Nothing crazy but common sense will go a long way here. Bringing the leg levelers all the way into the legs is a good start.

Completely agree, although shipping is certainly more work than a local guy coming and picking it up, it's not like prepping is a whole day affair. I am more than happy to take a little extra time to go above and beyond having NAVL just throwing a blanket on it as I know I would feel like crap if it got damaged in transit, even if I wasn't technically responsible or liable. I know I would appreciate a seller doing the same when shipping a pin to me.
That's a great looking game. With the fancy chrome package you'd think they'd protect the flipper area. What's up with that?

You can easily protect that with clear plastic protectors and it will look a million times better then the ugly lolly-pop protectors Stern uses now that hid the artwork around that area.

Sadly, the best of these were sold through Pinball Pal and at this time aren't available.
Quoted from Rarehero:Wow. A STEAL. You'd get $5k in a blue state (Hah!)
So you are admitting that Ohio is going red this time around?!

No you wouldn't. You elected Jerry brown again and you discuss politics. Ha.
Quoted from shlockdoc:No you wouldn't. You elected Jerry brown again and you discuss politics. Ha.
What's wrong with Jerry? He knows his stuff!

If they cheat w/ Voter ID

Bad attempt at a blue Avatar joke....self-admitted fail..I'm OUT! Someone buy this f-ing game

All you have to do to prep it is fold down the cabinet onto cardboard or a towel or such just like of you were carrying it out. It ships on its legs. If you really wanted to, you could grab a role of cellophane from home depot or such and wrap the backboard folded down in place and some cardboard around the legs. But I probably wouldn't bother. Make the buyer dispatch NAVL and it's his problem not yours.

It's still in his collection message him. Matt is a really nice guy. But for 4.2k I would get an avengers pro IMHO
Yea.. I'm looking at possibly getting an Avenger's Pro or ACDC Pro, but I'm a big Avatar fan and if I could still get that one it would pretty much make my decision for me. I did see that it was shown in his collection still. I have sent him a PM and gotten no response yet.
Quoted from Nemesis:The shaker, fast play and nice mb impressed me when I played this at Satellite Lounge. Still feels like a $2,000 pin though. Then again so do all sterns.
I didn't realize a $2000 machine had a specific feel to it. I paid $2000 for my shadow. It feels no different then my MM.
If you're simply referring to the machine being lighter, there is no inherent benefit or such to the thing being extra heavy. I've never seem stern cabinets spontaneously fall apart so they are as strong as they need to be.
