Quoted from ForceFlow:Many sellers aren't interested in shipping a game,
This is the single best piece of advice, especially in a seller's market I think. I have had several great transactions with Pinside members, but almost all were in person, "Cash on the Glass". It can make for a long drive, but frankly, that is part of the allure of the hobby IMO - check out this thread:
Quoted from PinMonk:but shipping on a long distance sale with a brand new member is not a good idea in the eyes of most Pinsiders exercising an appropriate level of caution.
You can't change being a new member; but you can add an Avatar to personalize yourself, and post more frequently as two posts is not much of an indicator of who you are (no inquiries or posts in club threads of pins you are interested in). Also, there is always NIB or from an established dealer - costs more but if this is your first pin, having some support might be a nice thing.
Good luck!
