I have spent a lot of money with Chris and I've bought several pins and 1 shuffle alley from him. In my dealings he has been more than fair. Each time he gave me more than I bargained for (including extra parts I needed or MIGHT need). He has been honest and up front about what I was getting with every purchase. I'm fairly new to the hobby but I've been in business for over 16 years, dealt with a lot of folks in my 54 years so I'd say I have a better than average BS detector. All I can say about Chris (and I've done all my transactions with him in person) is he is a SOLID businessman and a true straight up, old school handshake kinda guy. Nothing but helpful with me and I look forward to doing more business with him for years to come as my collection grows.
