I didn't know who John Wort is either, but a quick google search answered that question. The OP should have done some research or politely inquired. The reply to the $2000 counter offer was kind of snarky, imho. Oh well, move on as others have said lot's of pins out there. I wanted a Space Station alot until I played one. Fun, but no inlanes makes it difficult to control the ball.

imho game would have been better with inlanes for sure.
Quoted from splitskull:Who is John Wort? Because apparently not knowing who HE is, will result in not being able to buy a pinball on Pinside.
Very unlikely that's actually the reason. It's just a convenient way to tell you off because your low offer annoyed him and he got a better offer, or wasn't keen to give details you wanted. Pictures with the glass on are either amateur or meant to conceal.
Not knowing JW after being on here 5 years is a little unusual, but no more so than using the fact that he worked on the boards as a selling point - basically meaningless. Does that make them better than a set of boards already in good working order, especially not knowing what exact work was done?
This would have been more interesting if you pointed to the ad. Why keep details about the ad and machine a mystery?

I agree

actually i prefer buyer to come and play the pinball, look at it and leave with it. i dont need the money. i can toss this thing off a roof a la tnt or let it sit here for a year no big deal.
all the pinball conspiracy theorists, gotta love pinside.
Quoted from zene10:Who is moderator and why did he ruin my topic experience?
I blame John Moderator Jr!
Quoted from RustyLizard:If I were John I would want my name removed from title of this thread.
I would also proudly take on the new title of "St. John" (because he works miracles on boards) or "Herbal John" (because its fun).

I'm just as impressed as when you flaunted both who worked on your boards, and your indignation that someone doesn't know something you do.
For what its worth,I have about 5 yrs.on Pinside,never heard of a John wort!!Maybe in certain areas ???
Quoted from RustyLizard:If I were John I would want my name removed from title of this thread.
Is that necessary? I've been here for a while and haven't heard of John Wort either.
Now John Wart jr. I'm familiar with.

whats the matter, it hasnt stopped raining in seattle and you little snowflake are depressed and have to be on the computer playing keyboard warrior?
if i buy a pin and somebody says the boards were shopped by wart then to me its a good thing as i know the man does great work and the boards are bullet proofed. either way i am letting buyer know the boards were worked on in full disclosure.
This thread gave me cancer.
Seller's choice to do whatever he wants with the game. When people lowball me through messages, texts, whatever, I lose interest real fast. Lots of lookers. A lesson to would-be negotiators: negotiations are done in person, cash in hand.

Honestly...... John is a really great guy that has done so much for this hobby. I heard he was having some personal issue a while back but always came threw with stuff I ordered.
Class act so let’s not beat the guy up for one persons experience.

LOL did you read anything at all??? John did nothing wrong, and John personally has no involvement in this.

Ooooooooops
Quoted from TractorDoc:But is it as weird as the thread trying to sell/trade a used set of cowboy boots?
What size are they?
Quoted from pezpunk:Isn’t it against the rules to post other people’s PM’s? .
I doubt it is and it really shouldn't be. Don't send anybody a message you wouldn't want shared.
And why in god's name hasn't this thread been deleted or at least had the subject title changed? It's ridiculous.

Quoted from TheLaw:along with any material exchanged privately in PinsideMail."
Seems a little vague to me. To me this means personal info that has been exchanged privately, like phone numbers, emails, addresses etc. It doesn't say "don't post private messages." Perhaps they should clear that up if that's the case.
If someone PMs me a veiled threat or some other nonsense, I'll be happy to share it with the group, like I did when I got a lovely Christmas day message from Pinbum.

I read that as don't post any PERSONAL information exchanged privately in PinsideMail. If someone's a dick through PMs and doesn't include any personal info, fair game to let others know.
Yeah it depends how you read it.
"any material exchanged privately in PinsideMail."
To me this would mean anything written in a PM, since the mail is private to begin with.
Really though, I only thought it was because of memories of Mods exlpaining it to people and erasing/editing messages. But my memory isn't the greatest for boring shit like this.
EDIT:
Maybe I'm mistaking it with this?
"Post edited by moderator: Do not post private PMs from moderators. "
Quoted from snakesnsparklers:If someone's a dick through PMs and doesn't include any personal info
That's about as personal as it gets. Just ask Brett Favre or Anthony Weiner.
