I'm gonna approach this a different way and hopefully you guys are able to take a step back and look from a different point of view.
You want to sell a machine and I want to buy it but I'm new and have no idea if the price is reasonable. Normally on here you recommend a new pinsider to bring an experienced friend...right. But here we are on pinside market, who is going to help me the new guy?
YOU ARE! The pinball collector with experience. You are here and willing to help and protect me so that I don't get "choggard".
Nobody wants to get screwed over and walk away from this hobby out of anger but it happens. We, the collectors,the players and pinsiders who are experienced should step up and say something to help.
This is my opinion and not expertise.
