I live in a remote part of Canada and have to buy pins sight unseen and get them shipped based on pictures. If the machine plays OK when it gets here, any other unexpected fixes at that point might be disappointing, but it's a cost of doing business. I don't expect to get into shipping things back and forth. Once it gets here, that's it, I'm on my own.

I would ask for money back if the thing doesn't turn on or was unplayable.

Hell, I just got a NIB Star Trek Pro with a severe issue 50 games in. Stuff happens, I'm not shipping it back.

Haha I was thinking the same thing

Nah, there are cheaper TAF in Canada than what he paid. Exchange rate now is brutal.

Are we really this upset over a dirty game? Like $2500 and legal action for dirt? Coming at Golgotha with torches and pitchforks for like 1 hour of work by the buyer?

Even if the game arrived sparkling clean he would have to clean it again eventually...

Seems like people are blowing this out of proportion just to have an axe to grind.

This is especially evident when he claims there's hay in the machine and it's never been inside a barn.

You have a great imagination.

You have to get games shipped to a lot of places in Canada. Otherwise your pool of selection drops to virtually nothing if you aren't in a major metropolitan centre. If you are trying to advise people to never get a pin shipped, there are some people who just don't have that luxury.

Or be prepared for a pin that's less than perfect and not cry about it when it happens.
