    OP
    Quoted from the96stang:

    http://www.nbcconnecticut.com/video/#!/news/sports/The-Fight-for-His-Life/179376331
    I am a student athlete at Eastern Connecticut State University and a fellow athlete here is looking for a bone marrow donor. He has no siblings, and his parents are not a match. I ask all you flippers to just sign up. Who knows, you could change a life.

    Here is MY promise. Should anyone here match Jon I will GIVE that person my Judge Dredd Pinball machine. 100% free (shipping is on you!).

    It's not much but I would like to sweeten the deal. To the donor that might receive the Judge Dread machine I will purchase and ship a full LED kit, rubber set and balls.

    Quoted from flipperfingers:

    I understand what you're saying, for sure. However, maybe this would be an "I insist" situation on the part of Stang. Maybe a donor is found and they say "Thanks, but no thanks" to the machine. Stang says, "I really appreciate that, but I insist that you take the machine. If I could have donated, I would have, but I couldn't. So, my Judge Dredd is my sacrifice."
    That would be satisfactory, wouldn't it.
    Semantics aside, I hope for the best.

    That's how I read Stang's offer as well. Turns out I'm not in good enough health to donate but would have had no problem at all taking the machine off his hands (if he insisted). I would have enjoyed it for a few months, sold it and donated 100% of the proceeds to the Make a Wish Foundation. Paying it forward feels GREAT...and Stang knows it. I hope a donor is found soon...
