    Quoted from tamoore:

    What's your worst story of an unscrupulous seller?

    I bought a game from a pinsider that I really wanted, great game and an incredible deal. No deposit, just cash and pickup in about a week. Longest week of my life, with a few late hours in super slow motion -- the night before, I got out of a movie theater with my kid and there had been 2 calls and a text asking to call the seller. (My phone was off during the movie; I'm not a barbarian.) I called right away and no answer. My kid is recapping the movie but my mind is totally elsewhere and my heart pounding, with all the worst case scenarios described in this thread running through my mind.

    A few hours later, I get a text -- and it was just a minor issue packing the machine. The wave of relief was huge, I could feel it physically. The transaction the next day couldn't have been smoother.

    So definitely not an unscrupulous seller, and in fact one of the many good guys in the hobby, but it's funny how easy it is to assume the worst.

    -- Jim
