I will tell my story soon.

My driver is still near his house. I am in Richmond VA

But, this guy is 100% a liar and sketchy person.

His wife too!

I feel so luck things didn't go worse than what just happened! Whew! Close call!

It is a long discussion on Facebook, in a pinball group.

I'm not typing all that again, and sorry.

We have more participants in the facebook group than here.

But this guy is a whack job and a liar. Scams people for years now.

I counted close to 20 people who all had bad stories and still Joe owes them either cash, or a new playfield, or entire pinball machines, etc

Joe and I went round and round for weeks.

He canceled many times telling me he was coming down to Richmond for the trade.
He told me he always wanted a roadshow and that it was for his wife.
Said he only had Two pins in his life. A WOZ that he traded for a NIB Wonka.

I offered to meet him for the trade after he kept messaging me.
He agreed. We loaded up and got ready then he cancled yet again!

He claimed he didn't know how heavy pins were and thet he couldn't get his into his truck.
He offered me $300 to drive to him at 5pm and so we did.
He knew we wouldn't arrive until 12:30-1:30am and he said he was always up until 3am and this was not an issue.

I kept asking about if I sent the cash with my driver. I sent him a pic of cash.
At 12 midnight (I was sleeping) he starts texting me that the deal is off because he and his wife counted the stack or $20s in the photo and claimed we were short. No deal and that if we came to his house he would call the Police! Then more texts for an hour, and more mentioning of police.

When my driver called, they said it was way too late and told him to come at 6:30am

So he did. The wife grabbed the cash and ran inside then came out claiming money is missing. My driver was confused as it was counted multiple times.
They held hostage a topper and said they needed more money and we get no topper. This went on, lots of stuff missing from the story.

I could write a 100page novel on this whacky guy from what happened and stories others have told me.

Turns out this is roadshow #3 for him. He instantly tried to swap that for another game the following day.
He is known as an idiot and always looses on trade deals.

My Roadshow was very very nice. Invisiglass, Pinsound, Pinstadiums, LEDs, cabinet restored, colordmd, excellent playfield.
This trade deal was not that amazing. Just fair IMO.

Told others his wife died a few time, then wife had cancer, then wife had stroke.
Started a go fund me for her and bought pins with that money.

Wife and Joe are both criminals and a dozen people would agree with that statement.
They both are nutjobs!

This is the facebook group where multiple posts regarding Joe have been posted, including mine.

Yes, facebook is better for stuff like this and pinside forum is not so helpful or friendly.

Quoted from alexmogil:

Since the op got his deal he has no reason to update. Seems simple to me. It was a travesty upon him until he got the smoking deal he wanted now he could not care less.
No one comes out smelling good on this one.

piss off. It was not an amazing deal. It was a fair trade.
My roadshow was amazing.

Quoted from vdojaq:

jkashani , could you please share a link to which facebook group? The O.P. has turned out to be a complete ass.

Fuck you too buddy! I have no idea why you are calling me an ass?

And, that why pinside sucks.

Last time I post here.

My mistake for even thinking this was a good idea to warn others.
