    Make fun of sellers all you want but excuses from potential buyers are typically even crazier and most involve their wife or girlfriend. After 10 years in the hobby I think I have heard them all but once in a while someone surprises me.

    Now for the selling end - "To be very honest I am just sick of moving these stupid machines around so they have to go"! That should be mine but I have never used it yet. On the average I think I move about a machine a day 365 days a year. Sometimes I go a month without moving one and other times I'll move 30 in an afternoon. I am just getting to darn old for this shit!

    Last week I moved 24 machines from one trailer to another trailer just to make them easier to access this Winter. Do that count as moving 24 or 48 machines because I had to move each twice?

    Quoted from Ericpinballfan:

    How about the truth? Personally i have to many pins, want to sell several to finance a Munsters Prem and a JJP.

    I am in the same boat - I have "too-many-pins" but I don't want to sell them to buy another pin I just want to sell some to save some storage rent. He who dies with the most toys might win but he who dies paying the most storage rent wasn't a very smart guy!
