I have an opportunity to purchase a Phantom of the Opera for $1,000 to $1,200. Problem is that I would have to buy it sight unseen, relying on only photo's and the sellers word and have it shipped from another state (too far to drive).
I've run into operators before that offer to ship a pin to you after you send the money. I have to think the are scammers (as a matter of fact, I'm dealing with one now that has a BSD from England he'll ship DHL if I send him half now and half once I receive the pin).
Is there anything I can to do safe-guard this purchase? I can't fly to Florida to check out a pinball machine, I'll come home to a yard full of my stuff and changed locks on the door! POTO is one of my MECCA pins and I can't find one available around the KY, OH, IN area. If you live in the South Florida area, maybe you could go looking for me?
Any thoughts? I hate to let this opportunity go......
