Where are you located? I think finding a couple collectors around you is extremely useful.

Then try to buy something without getting emotionally attached so you don't over pay. Starting with something that works would be ideal - don't worry, plenty of things will break, but starting with something that functions lets you learn how it is supposed to work which is half the battle.

Quoted from Blakllll:

I live in Alabama, but I have a truck and a trailer so transportation isn't to much of an issue.

There are pinsiders in Alabama - travelling to get a pin is risky, especially if you are new. The point of finding local people is to get an education.

If you can't, you can't, so just read and watch you tube and try to think about what you want, then keep watching the market for it.
