Interesting Read....
Now fellas... I am hearing some good points from both sides here but now we are beating up on the potential buyer (spraynard) questioning his integrity for backing out of a "Deal". Lest we forget the seller who allegedly had a "commitment" to a buyer in cali who apparently did the same thing.
For me I would always question the "I have another buyer" with ANY item, pinball or otherwise. If you have another buyer I walk away especially when they are saying they would sell it to me for the same price. Does not make sense to me. If I sell you something and my price is $1k thats my price to you unless we negotiate otherwise. Even if someone offered me more I will honor my price to you.
If this guy is a coin op vendor or whatever he knows his business. Why the heck would you break a "commitment" from a buyer over a phone call?? Come on... I would have done the same as davewth and just walked away. But I do have blame on the seller for allegedly screwing some other guy...
