There is a reason they are selling for less than every other reputable dealer, and why they are using photos from "The Pinball Co" use a reputable company. How do you know? Go directly to the manufacturers website, and see if the company is listed as a dealer. For example we are listed on every major manufacturers website.

Any website advertising pinball machines for thousands of dollars less than the competition is going to be a scam.
There's just not that much profit margin in selling pinball machines. Even if you are a "center."

There are no deals, especially for a newbie.
If it looks like a good deal, it’s a scam.

You’re probably right.
In another thread, he states his budget is around 6K. At that number I’d be looking for the best SM I could find. That is probably the most reliable machine I own and the gameplay is top notch.
