Quoted from silver_spinner:PS; thanks to john for taking his time to do the auction, thats who the real hero in the scenario is, esp with no fees between seller/buyer and no fees to him. having a pinball show, tournament, auction or any related so so so much is involved prior, during and after. those of you who have not taken part in any of the above have no idea.
John is a Michigan pinball superhero: always happy to talk pins, dispense advice and his pricing is spot on fair when he sells. That he does the auction with no self serving motive is testament to his character. I've known him for a slim six years and he probably only knows me by face, but I consider him a pinball ally. One of the true "good guys" in this hobby.
