Agree. Try buying in person. I have met quite a few Pinsiders in person, both buying and selling. It's fun to put a name with a face, and all have been friendly. Beside that, if you buy in person you will see what you are getting.

I don't think sellers ignore new members. I think they ignore selling to someone that has different buying terms.

You are asking to have the seller prep the game for shipment and deliver to a shipping dock. I wouldn't do that, however, I would sell to someone (and have several times) where the buyer pays ahead and arranges the shipping. Like others said, the shippers came to my place, wrapped the machine and carried it out to their waiting truck. I didn't have to do anything. Tell the seller you will pay in advance and arrange all the shipping.
