OP
Quoted from Sticky:
You might think there is another side but here are the last texts. No response. Nothing. I tell him I'd like to work it out but that the price is way too high and I'm out of town this weekend so delivery was to be that next weekend. I was very reasonable all things considered.
He never said another word and listed it for sale. It's obvious what transpired. He never even asked if he could go over budget. Go look on the Instagram feed and he's making his own decisions as to what to do and not even asking me if it's ok! The only added items specified were the board and touch up which is $700 more.
He tried to take advantage of me after being a year and a half late and then tried to quickly sell it hoping to get $5k for my machine behind my back.

I had a similar situation with a local pinball repair shop last year. It wasn't over the price, but I was out in Washington state taking care of my mother who'd just had open heart surgery, and I get a letter saying I have seven days to pick up my machine or he was going to sell it. Since that time, I've done my part to direct pinball inquiries any direction except to him.

OP
Quoted from Sticky:
Odd there isn't proof of it. Also odd you would knowing that we agreed to $1850 do work for beyond the amount we agreed to unless you thought I would pay without thinking twice about it.
I guess that happens when you see someone younger than you with a nicer home, a bulldog, two Porsches, a 70 inch 4k screen, three pinball machines, and whatever else you were drooling over.

Take the high road OP. Don't stoop to his level.

OP
Quoted from Sticky:
I trust you to pick up the game surfsidedetail as you know what to look for but he just texted me if it isn't picked up by tomorrow I have to pay $100 storage fees per day...
Quite a guy.

He can't do that. Never agreed to in the original contract. He will get laughed right out of court on that one.

Quoted from smalltownguy2:
This thread smells like Kaneda's bedsheets.
What a shitshow.

I have to ask....how do you know what Kaneda's bedsheets smell like?

Quoted from vdojaq:
May I suggest someone else to do your play field touch up? Because if this is one of your good jobs, your touch up guy is Stevie Wonder

That's really a slam on Stevie, don't you think?

Quoted from PinRob:
I think they are past that now

It was taking me awhile to get caught up.

Quoted from vid1900:
I always figured it was Axe Body Spray and those urine soaked panties you buy from vending machines in Japan.

oh good god. No. Really? What is wrong with people?

Quoted from irobot:
You guys love to pick everything apart and sharpshoot.
Show me where I said,
"I played every EM game ever made and compared them all to Space Shuttle and found them all to be slower playing than Space Shuttle.
Also, I'm the greatest expert ever on pinball and everything I write is the final word on all things pinball, no further discussion is allowed or useful."
Lacking those statements, my previously stated opinion is not crack-up worthy. It was actually a pretty bland and subjective opinion.

oh ffs
