Hey all, new around here. My dad was a trader back in the day and I’m currently in the market looking to get into the hobby. I know which machine I want to be my first and tracked down a seller via Instagram who, appears to be legit. The Instagram handle isn’t on the list of identified scams (has been active since September 2022). So far the communication hasn’t raised any eyebrows other than the person saying their website is currently under construction when I asked for references of prior sales. I asked about potential payment and was told it would have to be done via Zelle/Apple Pay/Google Pay. I know one of the hallmarks of the scam communication is poor grammar and this page’s communication seems real. Also said he would ship via CoinOp Shippers and not a phantom shipper. The Instagram handle is here: https://instagram.com/pinballmemory?igshid=NTdlMDg3MTY=
I’ve also attached photos I was sent of the machine which also seem to be genuine. I was also sent a video of it in action. Anyone work with this person before or am I being suckered? Thank you so much!
Edit: was told by the seller that I’d be able to inspect the machine if I could get to the location
