Here’s the facts of the case.
The seller had no room for a game as he was moving and got ahold of a mutual friend who asked if I was interested. I said I was and he had his movers deliver it to me.
Last week before our ice storm up in the northeast I put the check in the mail. He reached out to me tonight saying he never got the check and now wants the game back.
He now says the money is not important, he wants it back as he now has the room.
Do I need to worry about this.
I sold two games to buy his.
Now what?

One last item. I checked my bank account and the check was not cashed. I originally asked to Zelle the payment and he declined.

I love the game and do not want to part with it

If he had my cash I wouldn’t worry about a thing.
If he does have my check in his possession and says he doesn’t, then that’s another thing

Amazing point

I’ve sold two games, spent an hour or two adjusting switches and changing sleeves & changed out all the 44’s to warm frosted LED’s for my tired eyes. We’ve been playing the crap out of the game. We also scratched what was a perfect cabinet.

I’m reaching out to him this morning and I’ll give you an update.

Thank you for all the great advice

I posted this under buying/selling advice for a reason, I need advice.
I guess we should just take down that sub topic as an option cause some people always have all the correct answers to every question.
Go ahead, ask them, they’ll tell ya.

Same here… They wanna tell you how brilliant they are and that they don’t have time for something so beneath them as they take time for something so beneath them.

I’m really at a quandary here on how to proceed. I’m not here for clickbate. I can’t remember the last thread I started.

That’s the day I bought it!
My birthday present to me.
Was either that or spa day with a mani & pedi for everyone in Boobs army.

I paid 6K for the game.
Fair?
Too high?
Too low?

I’m not that vain my friend & I don’t need the stroking, just real advice which I got by the bushel. Really great advice by fellow Pinsiders who took the time to post & PM me. Who better to ask for advice on selling & buying issues than you guys?

The seller contacted a moving company today to take the game back. The movers called me to gain entry, which was denied.

Un frick’n announced!

Scary thing is my warehouse manager might have just let them in thinking it was approved. Hell…they do wear uniforms and had papers to sign. Pretty official looking.

Oh ok…
Looks like the price was fair then.

We have the game right next to a Williams Slugfest to show how things evolved in 30 plus years. Everyone wants to play the old classic. So much so that I had to put pingulps on both front legs.

Man!
I just looked up your website & that place is heaven

I’ll find out this evening.
Ugh…

Yup!

I have nothing to report. Every morning I check to see if the check has been cashed and it hasn’t. I’m just waiting for this to end.

The third party “always knew him to be a little strange”’and didn’t care.
As of tonight the 6k check still isn’t cashed.
I check every evening to see if he deposited it cause I need the is closed out too.
Thanks for the interest and support.

I took everyone’s advice and canceled the original check, wrote a new one and had it delivered by certified mail. It’s been cashed and now the game has an interesting and finished story to it.

I like that
