Quoted from pookycade:THIS is how this happened at the beginning of his for sale thread. If you want education this is the education that can be learned from. It takes more than one person to place legitimacy around a seller. Nobody did anything wrong or nefarious. When a new seller shows up on Pinside we all get suspicious. This guy wasn’t new, and he wasn’t suspicious.
“Steven is legit and real as they come. I've seen all the games and played most.
Crazy high end collection of games.”
“Michelle confirmed they are very familiar with Steven and have multiple orders to pick up next week (including a Burgertime and Zookeeper for me).
My experience with Steven has been top notch. No BS, succinct and a cool guy. I feel very comfortable with everything about this sale and hope others find comfort based on my experience.”
“ He has been very communicative with me as well and I will be purchasing 3 games from him.”
“ I've dealt with the OP before on a few purchases -- he was reliable. Good luck on the sale of these great games!”
“ I agree Steven is a solid dude.
Buy with confidence!”
I was close to being scammed from him also but he couldn't take the time to at least plug one of the games in that I was interested in. Dodged a bullet for sure, just glad I decided the pics he provided didn't justify $5K and didn't get caught up in the recommendations.
