Well after a very stressful adventure starting off with contact via my VAPS listing for a wanted BMX pinball it is finally here.
I was contacted by a newly registered user via PM and e-mail that he had a BMX pinball that had been in his dad's attic since about 1985. Story went that his dad picked it up from a local establishment and after a year or so his mom got annoyed with all the loud noises and made him put it in the attic. It had been there ever since. Put away working.
Sounded kinda fishy especially since he had zero posts and still does to this day. A very careful progression of events including video's and a weak attemp on my part to find someone local to go check it out (didn't happen) and we proceeded with the transaction. I can honestly say he appeared through our correspondances to be as nervous as I was but not knowing if this was real or not had to weigh my options. I understood the financial risk and the seller was willing to work on payment terms that included things like final payment on confirmation of pick-up by the shipper.
So after a bit of stress it is here.
