    Quoted from rtotans:

    So this newer member wanted to buy 2 games from me, He tells me i will pay cash for both games. so apparently he sells a game on his own and for some strange reason he has this third person party send me friends and family cash 30 minutes before he gets here for one of the games. He gets here and decides not to buy either game .One of the games was near mint condition. He's making weak excuses, There's pretty much nothing wrong with this game.. Its pretty much as advertised. So the 2nd game he does the same thing with. granted the 2nd game is almost 35 years old-40 years old, but for the age must better then average. Apparently he says its just like the one he has. ( and he wanted to upgrade and have a better looking one that he already owns) I said thats fine you changed your mind after seeing the game, but I said you must be the pickest person i've ever seen because the one game is as close to mint as possible.The 2nd game is amost 40 years old and thats in must better condition then most. he wants me to return the pay pal friends and famly that this 3rd party sends me. Are there any scams that people know of with this type of transaction? For a person to drive hours away and not buy the game and not purchase it, especially after said he would buy both game in cash, is very suspect. I need some help on this. I'm afraid if I refund the money its part of some scam. He's apprently some pool guy, who is now a buyer and seller of pinbal games with a pinball business who's only been on pinside for a few months. Several things isn't adding up. I need help on this one. thanks. PS... I said then just buy the one game in cash that's in near mint condition. He decides no.

    Yeah, scam. Cancel the transaction. DO NOT REFUND. Let the cancellation take care of it.
