I call totally false. Nobody that bought those pins recently would be able to afford a mistress.

Not to mention the WOZ. Unless Alex got more pins and then pissed off the wife, lol. (Kidding of course.)

Every person on this forum would. 95% of members would post to brag about it. The other 5% would wait a while and then just call it a regular deal.

I bought a pin in a situation like this once. The guy showed up at my house a few hours later. It was a mess. He wanted to fight me until i advised him that was not a wise call on his behalf. I ended up giving him the pin back and he gave me the money his wife took from me.

LOL not I. Nice collection though

the WoZ is what makes it even more Odd. Not sure how many have been brought to NJ folks but it doesn't match any collections i'm aware of.

I had a newly separated but not yet ex-wife offer up some pins/vids like this. I passed because this is exactly the situation I did NOT want to get in the middle of. All I need is some drunken biker dude and his friends roll up my driveway at 2am look for his stuff back.

What did you almost get and how much did you almost pay? Trying to gauge how pissed the wife was when she sold it. I gathered enough intel to determine husband's mood. Why did you provide your address? This has the makings of a good story.

Why would there be a bill of sale in this transaction? There's no warranty and it's not a controlled item.

Only way I could think of to get the address would be paying by check.

I have had a few different situations where people requested one and here were the reasons:

- Person was super old school and wanted "proof" of our deal so I whipped up a few sentences in ms word (print / sign / done)

- The other situation was when I was buying a pinball and they were delivering it. The seller brought multiple copies with them already filled out because they needed to show where the money came from for financing their house purchase.

I've had the same two scenarios happen to me. I sold a game and the guy wanted a bill of sale. I made him one. I sold some games and when I went to buy a house the lender wanted me to get bills of sale for my games. I had to go back and bug buyers after the fact. Everything I had sold in the last year needed documentation. What a hassle that was.

Pay with cash, say that you forgot your ID. Do they want to make the sale or not? Blurt out an address like 1060 West Addison, Chicago, 60613.

Heck, whenever I use the self checkout lane at Blowes, I always use (312) CO7-6060 as my phone number. Anyone here know what that infamous number used to reach? The CO is for COlumbia phone exchange. They equal 26.
