mechslave / jason is doing something great, and i'm going to pay him something in person when i see him next time. if he needs a donation for shipping, count me in. i'll paypal him right away.

i also know eric, and will talk to him about what happened with this transaction. he is a friend, and florida is a good community. this deal has nothing to do with me, but we try to help if we can in any way.

off topic: personally, i hope no one buys anything from florida. we have a good pinconomy right now, hate to see them rise.

big +1 to that, and thank you from me. stop by if you ever get down here, or i'll buy you lunch at the SP festival. (i was going to buy your paragon PF via southernpinballforums PM, for this issue)

a lot of wrong information was added to this thread. hopefully someone can fix that. especially whoever posted the paragon seller out of kansas. that had nothing to do with this thread:

off topic: personally, i hope no one buys anything from florida. the market down here was good until people started driving south. now, if someone wants to punch me in the face at expo, you have to buy my airline ticket. i'm not paying money to stand in a cold azz parking lot, while someone posts useless internet smack talk from his mom's astro van.

there's no need to knock anyone who posted here, opinions are what they are.

ha! pretty brave posting as an Erik here.

eric/kawi being a good guy or a friend with members here is true. those members, from what i read, just asked to please mail no poop, and save the spam for politicians.

now, florida loves scam artists, is a pretty nutty accusation. the only fact? that playfield sucks.

there is a for sale thread on the village, that says the clearcoat job is not good. i'm not sure how that was lost in translation, but i'll have to go look that thread up again. again, i'm looking at the first 2 pictures, and the only ones charles received of the playfield. yes, those suck given true condition. period. and i'm going off of those pics. i'm not privy to the emails or phone conversations, but if it was me, i'd be throwing out a lot of F bombs once that PF arrived on my porch. this has remained pretty civil after all. please don't mail me poop...i'd just post it on craigslist.

FedEx shipping is about 65 bucks (insured) for a playfield from florida to california. i'll even do it on my account if that helps out. again, props to mechslave!!!

a lot of people are missing that this should be resolved pretty soon, without the machine being shipped back.

have jack stop by my place for cookies and some cocoa.

whoops.

i'm not.
