I hear people bad mouth Pinside from time to time. These are people who don't use the site properly. It's a great tool for repair tips and buying/selling games. Most people that complain about it to me are the ones who get an ad forwarded to them (like some crazy priced $65,000 Twilight Zone.) The response is always "people are crazy on the website." The other thing mentioned lot is how is just a place for people to whine about how bad the new games are (playing and quality.)
I do my best to support the website. I bought a game yesterday from a first time seller. He asked if I always pay the fees. Always, if its a sale because of Pinside. I told him it is only $35.00 and it goes to something that makes the pinball world better. He paid the fee this morning.

Just like you tube, you can find videos that will help you fix anything in your house that breaks, but most people just watch cat videos
