I don't disagree Pete, and although I'm sure no one is intentionally causing Ian financial burden, it is real.  PErhaps part of the statement can be done via the first PM response, so somehow, it has to happen somewhere before his wife kills him .

It is amazing, I've been collecting for just over 8 months now and have yet to have one bad run in (well, there may be one, but time will tell on that one).  But I read many of these posts and it seems bad deals are fairly common. I must be pretty lucky so far.

I think if a request to hold is made then payment or deposit is required.  This will get rid of the tire kickers.  And yes how much does 10 of these weigh?

I wouldn't categorize anythign in regards to the backglasses as "bad deals". I gues that people just get too excited when a lot of inexpensive parts come along and they ask to put them aside, but never follow through due to either realizing they have no money or realizing they don't really want it in the end.

Like I said... no biggie. Whatever I have left unpaid goes on Ebay on Saturday June 19th. I will give a 3-day period to send the payment once the auctions are finished. The following week I am on vacation, so I will have time to either be available for pick-up or crate a shitload of them.

I honestly don't think that anyone is ill-intentioned. Just either forgetful or merely embarrassed to tell me they don't want it in the end.

And as for Loafy's method, I agree with it, but since my bad deal at Allentown with the American, I no longer do work for just anyone. Just people I know. I have turned down 5 cabs and 8 playfields in the last month.

i had one put aside when i was at your garage sale, still waiting if you found it!

ready to pick it up anytime you want!

.... the encounters backglass on my wall looks pretty good! thank you!
