Quoted from Skypilot:I run into this issue every time I have a pinball machine in my possession. I find pins I like to restore. If I see another locally at a fair price I will get it and use it as a fallback for board issues or population of the playfield questions. when the restoration is complete I shop the other pin.
My issue is that I'm selling this pin,all I need to do is clean it up and make it play well. Why can't I just do that ? I tear shit down that does not need to be torn down. Am I the only one who does this? How do you draw the line and say good enough?
Nothing wrong with that. You have the highest standards as far as your own games go so it's not a surprise you'd go the extra mile to sell a thoroughly shopped machine. I'm sure it's contributed toward having a smooth transaction and a happy buyer. Being a standup guy with an impeccable reputation is priceless.
