Too risky doing deals that involve shipping. I am really sorry that your out that amount of money. Learn from that . Unless it is a person that you know well or a trusted dealer try and stick to machines you can pick up yourself. It is safer to do so. Your also in the north east and that gives you a good amount of machines for sale in the tri state area. If you wait long enough the machines your looking for usually come up for sale in the region. And for anyone reading this post I sold a machine to this op and he was a great buyer and a very nice person to deal with.

It shows he has been on site today. Over a year sold and pre pandemic. Total bs by seller. Refund his money @autodlr. How can you just keep his money for that long. Do the right thing, just refund the purchase.
