It would actually be a good read if someone like john dayhuff who buys and sells maybe 100 games a year, kept a journal. Detail the good cons, lowdown scumbags, milfs, trips in vane, horrible, and great surprises. Some of the stories that have happened to me amaze me, but you figure, I have been on 5% of the deals he has. It would be a fun book to write and read.
The one thing that surprises me is I have never seen a pistol during a pin sale. I have been around plenty of pistols, but never at a pinball deal.
