As a first pin buyer, also buying their first pin - "you have to lose one to get one". I moved slow on a Fish Tales and High Speed priced well and lost (we are talking a day or two though). Losing one (or two) just makes you smarter and tougher and makes you pull the trigger faster on a pin priced right. You learn more quickly and do more research when you are pissed after you lost one. Let "the hate flow through you" and use your new found knowledge and balls to jump on a good pin, in good shape, priced reasonable. Good luck man and don't buy your first pin before me!
