Dang it man NICE SCORE!
The sellers feedback looks solid.
The guy is going to take a loss on that game by the time.
He pays ebay & pay Pals fee's
On shipping I would use NAVL ...give Michelle B. a call.

With all due respect, these are questions to be asked prior to the sale, not after. Hope you don't get burned.

Am I missing something? I see $8195 as the final price...

Seller has great feedback so that's a good sign!

It says best offer accepted

Score. Pay the man and get your pin. Or is this a flip purchase? In which case grats on making some cash.

I bought my RBION from this guy,he can be 100000% trusted(99% sure this is him as he lives in clearwater and does stuff for OSHA). I am shocked he let it go already.

Great seller though, my RBION I got from him was mint better than I could imagine. He may chime in as he is on these boards.

^Pinballpal it appears you are golden

Oh crap! That means he did not want to deal with all the trash BS on this board. And we drug him over here anyway. I hope he does not step up and just lays back in the cut on this one. He did a nice thing.

This is mine, and I am somewhat embarrassed by getting rid of so soon. Very simple, I thought Michelle would be fine with this and she's not. Tough when pins are in the center of your home. I have always had to fight to keep my collection and turn my 1st pin into a multipin collection. I know when to pick my battles though and this would be a tough one to win, now and in the near future.

Was actually hoping this would sell fast so I could avoid the public persecution on here, lol.

Pinballpal, if you have any reservations or questions, call me. The game is perfect, NAVL comes here often. Although, I could have a better local affiliate representing NAVL. I will assist to make sure this leaves here wrapped securely. I have done the same for other buyers.

Awesome. Congrats!

Nice price Toasterdog.

Take a weeks vacation and go pick it up and at the same time enjoy a vacation. It will cost more money but you will have part of you vacation paid for with the savings on shipping and it makes the transaction safe for everyone involved.

That is if you have the time and money to do something like that.

I see from the pictures you managed to get 3 pins in your living room Sorry you had to let it go, but props for being a great seller. I think you shall get praise from the pinsiders not persecution

Hell you can do that drive in a long weekend if ya leave Thursday after work. Biggest plus would be not worrying about shipping damage.

Congrats guys! Great transaction story!

Congrats to both on the sale. Sorry you had to let a pin you like go, but compromise is necessary with significant others to win in the end. Don't let anyone tell you differently. In future though, don't be afraid of ridicule on here. Screw naysayers. Doesn't seem to bother others like Coasterguy - who often moves pins for variety and is a stand up guy.

Now, be honest. How many scumbags have PM'd you offering more than Pinballpal to cancel your deal and sell to them? Enquiring minds want to know.

Congrats to both sides. I would suggest the seller getting a nice WOZ standard. That game is neutral theme, can be enjoyed by anyone and will be only get better as new code continues to get released.

guilty as charged

Just a thought but pay him outside of a paypal direct payment, will save him quite a bit of $$$.

If you didn't mind waiting a month, Don Bosworth (pinballs on the move) might be able to bring it to you after Game warp. I know he is heading down for it.

Sorry you had to get rid of it, unbelievable game. My kids have heard all those swear words at school, so in my mind its nothing they all ready haven't heard.

I love the Pro, but the premium and Le version are sick. Well built game great art package, awesome flow, no issues with the game out of the box.

No persecution at all brutha! Shit happens! Glad you could get a quick sale and to someone who really wanted one too!

+1 to loving the pinball community

Good to hear as an LE will be dropped off at my house today...Today is a good day, hopefully no damage to box.

I have recently sold a couple of pins and bought a couple of others. I have chosen word of mouth instead of interfacing with the rash of BS posts on for sale threads where people would really be better off keeping their opinions to themselves.

I can respect that decision.

A fellow Pinsider in Altoona? Wow, small world.

Congrats!

Congrats on the buy.

This is the third METLE to sell for under 8k (not including shipping) in the last ten days. I told myself if they drop back to original price of $7,200 shipped I'm snagging one . . . they keep creeping closer and closer.

Is that bubbling on the DMD surround supposed to be like that?

Congrats OP! I saw that listing last night and I wondered how long it would last. I can't believe the seller accepted such a low offer. Depending on the shipping cost, you may have snagged this for cheaper than the final Metclub price. On a side note, why does ebay not show the final offer price anymore? Of all of their security changes in the past few years this one seems the dumbest to me.

great deal, a real nice transaction. if it keeps going that way pinball will be like it used to be... maybe ** insert jaws music**

It could happen but doubtful. This is always the norm but then once they begin to dry up... $12,000 by ?

8500 by July 4th

If you guys are 100% secure with each other you should mutually cancel the ebay transaction and save the seller some green. Nobody gets negative feedback and you'll put a few hundred bucks back in his pocket.

Still use paypal so that you have the seller/buyer protection, but one good turn deserves another.

That's generally how Stern DMD panels are painted.

That would be great if this can be done, guarantee you the seller is a good guy. Not that my word means anything

It can be done. And easily too. I've done it in the past, and was surprised how straight-forward it was to do.

I can't remember whether it's the buyer or seller that initials the cancellation process though. It was some time ago that I did it.

So the pinball community is OK to rip off eBay, the people who made this cheap transaction possible ?

I don't care what you guys do,I am just trying to figure out the double standards we see on pinside .

I predict you'll get it, but just like buying a stock, it's unclear if it's a good investment. If you are buying it to enjoy, then it obviously doesn't matter.

I don't have any double standards. And I've criticized NOBODY on this website for their practices, prices, or anything else.

Paypal is still going to take a good chunk of change from the transaction, and Paypal & eBay are the same company.

I was just offering a suggestion to help out a couple of Pinsiders. Sorry if I offended anyone.

Yeah and we all know you do not go 1 MPH over the speed limit either .....hehe

I know you don't and don't take it personal , I just see thing some people getting attacked for stupid things and thought it was odd that eBay was ok to steal from but Metallica is not .

Sorry ,I was just using your post for a example and noticed the thumbs up you got for it .

No worries. I can definitely see it from both sides. I just didn't want to inadvertently inject myself into any of the price & procedure bickering that can happen around here.

What you're saying is definitely true, so I won't dispute that. (Mind you, in my opinion, eBay is making it's fair share off of all of the flippers!) lol

I will shut up now so as to not hijack this thread with an ethics royal rumble.

Cheers,
Greg

Good it is painted. I was worried it was covered in vinyl and they left bubbles in it......

Yep; I never buy for an investment. Just to play and enjoy.

I got a replacement DMD/Speaker panel for my LOTR and at first I thought it was a crap paint job. Then I looked at my brand new ACDC, it had the same. Seems to be a new "effect" Stern has going on, I guess similar to the spider webbing of some older EMs and SS.

If this is the case why don't you just buy a premium? Can you not "Play and Enjoy" a premium just as much? Every time you and others post that the sky is falling with regards to value all i read is "Man I'm pissed I got fu(ked out of an LE".

Did I get an LE, yep. Do I care about its value, well of course. Am I biased with my observation, nope. Every time you post something like this it's as bad as the 10k by Christmas post. Look at the bright side....when you respond with a pointless retort you can thank me for 15+ karma.
