I picked up an Iron Maiden from Robert on Sunday, and had a great experience.
Got it home, and the start button wasn’t working. I texted Robert to ask him about it, and he drove all the way over to my house to help, which I did not ask him to do, and noticed that the connection had just come unplugged in transit (yes I realize I am a dumb ass, not sure how I missed it). We played a couple games, and he went on his merry way. I’d 100% do another deal.
As for the flipping of pins, and asking how much you can get for something to the guy you are buying it from. I get that it is yours and you can do what you want with it, but it is a little distasteful. What do I know though, I’m here because I love playing pinball, not to make a few bucks.
