Hi guys

I'm wondering if anybody knows of a pinball collector in Vancouver, BC, Mike Marti? I'm looking at purchasing a game from him and hope that somebody out west might know him either in person or by reputation. You can reply by PM if you like to me.

Thanks in advance

I am a member of the VRPA (Vancouver Pinball) I posted a message in our members section. I'll let you know if I get a response.

While not all pin collectors are on Mr.Pinball Collectors, most are, I believe.
This Vancouver person does not appear to be on the list.

What about other posts from that person on rgp ?
Might give an idea about his character, and about how long he's been posting.

Good luck !

Looking for 1966 Bally Capersville, 1967 Bally The Wiggler, 1981 Stern Viper, 1986 Pinstar Gamatron,
1986 Williams Grand Lizard, 1991 Williams Bride of Pinbot, and a few others.
Cash or some trades available. Could also repair a machine of yours +/-$ if needed, in exchange for
one machine on my want list, non-working/unshopped welcome!

Couple bigtime collectors replied and neither of them have heard of him. What are you looking to buy? That might help them figure it out...

A BBB - he listed on Mr Pinball a few days ago. We've been talking. He also listed a HUO Cactus.

Thanks Tom for your help.

Not sure anyone contacted him, if anyone knew him it would be those guys..but not all collectors post on the net or share info...be careful is all I'd say, could be legit, but it's hard to say..

I'd LOVE a BBB though..good luck if you do go for it...I can go pick it up for you and store it till you can come get it hahahaha

Are there any escrow services that could be used? For that kind of scratch they'd probably be worth using.
