I bought my first pin from hassellcastle here on pinside and had it shipped, and I felt extremely nervous just sending him a big old check in the mail. Speaking with him on the phone and looking into his history on pinside helped me feel comfortable with the transaction, and it went perfectly. The machine arrived good as new despite having 3000+ plays, and I've put another 1000 on it so far with no problems at all. Do a little bit of research and make sure you're buying from an established community member.
