I have had some great dealings with folks on here and also locally through FB. One person in particular offered to trade games with me when I posted one for trade that I couldn’t figure out how to fix. He then drove 3 hours one way to my house to make the swap, and brought a truck full of tools so he could help me go through my 6 newly purchased games and troubleshoot their issues with me while teaching the basics. I was new to the hobby and had bought several games before learning how to work on them I knowing what I was getting into (Still learning a year later but now understand the basics). There are some good people in this hobby.

I would rather undersell than promise CQ games and someone else think they aren’t perfect.

Everyone has a different interpretation of CQ but I’ve found most pinheads are good folks and not trying to scam anyone, everyone is different on their idea of mint/shopped so seeing them in person is a good idea but not always possible.
