I think the OP needs to find a new hobby. I also have been to the shop where I picked up a project Flash Gordon at a good price from Eric. Eric is a nice guy and a good dude that has been around the hobby for a long time. Dave I've only talked to on the phone, but he bought a Teed Off from me last year, and was a pleasure to deal with. Paid fast and sent a guy over to pick it up.
The shop is cool. Just a typical working pinball seller's place, with lots of machines coming and going, project machines, newer Sterns and Bally/Williams games in great shape set-up and playing, and new in box machines sitting ready for sale. And a Big Lebowski there when I visited that Eric let my wife and I play.
These guys seem to have a good rep among the Florida hobbyists I've spoken to, so don't hesitate to deal with. And yeah, Art (OLDPINGUY) you got a good deal on that Mousin' Around. I would have bought it myself at that price to put beside my Bad Cats.
