Quoted from Buffpac5:Patience and timing is what this hobby is all about
Couldn't agree more. I just got in the hobby a few years ago and just got my first pin last May. One of the first thing the local guys told me is to have is patience. All of them are on pinside. That network of pinball friends also helped me find a pinball machine. I got a heads up of a Creetch for sale on another forum from a local pinsider that was searching for pins. Well the email address in the ad was "dead" So I contacted the guy that gave me a heads up and he gave me the guys Phone #. He had dealt/purchased from him before. Long story short I was the only one contacting him. In the end I got my Creech for a fair price. It will happen, feast or famine my friend.
