Well seeing my last poll was a little depressing.
Love the results.
Here is a new one.
This is multiple choice.
What is your favorite way to locate new machines or project.
Would have added a few more but I tried to add the most used.

75% of my machine was from MAACA, the reason I paid too much for them    Seriously, I love project and you can find many here. With classified, you have to decide very fast and I don't like dealing (the reason I would never make money with pins so it's really an hobby   Good too that many members here are in Ontario, keep me from buying too much projects

All of the above  
Plus word of mouth at work, family and friends...

I think our reputation is following us  

Cheers,
- Sylvain.

I go to YOUR house!  

And yeah, sometimes Sylvain's house

Then I stop in at sirtype's, and highspeed's, and when all those people get tired of me,
(which doesn't take long, I'm freaking annoying and I'm always lowballing everyone) then
I watch about 30 Ebay "pick-up only in texas" auctions and forget to bid on ALL of them...

When I'm done there, it's about 1AM, so I go to the darkest strip-club I can find
that has a buffet that even seagulls wouldn't touch, and pump quarter after quarter into
a Ms pac cocktail with a sketchy monitor instead of playing all the machines I've restored lol.

Anyone else?

I can't select any of the choices since I got one through an ad at work and another via ME.   I am figuring that MAACA will be best place for me to get a TZ and MAACA connections will help me find a MM.    A guy can wish can't he?    

I find my machines, while fixing peoples furnaces.

hey you forgot everybodys true favorite... To have somebody find out you collect pins and then have them ask you if you want their old 'junk' game in the basement. Of course the game would also be for free as long as you picked it up right away.

I'm new to the scene folks but thought I would chime in and add "the dump" the the list......Yep I wasn't long throwing the ole Gottlieb in the back of the truck, couldn't wipe the grin off all the way home.

Welcome aboard TFC.  What is the title of the pin you found?

In this economic climate, I like looking for companies that are going out of business that have an arcade. Also, the occasional garage sale does turn up some nice pics!

You may mean new machines as in hot off the shelf but for some of us, new just refers to "new to me!"

I never thought about the dump... I am going to have to scrounge around there one of these days!

I picked up a "Sure Shot". Once I get 2 seconds I'll post up pics in the project section.
