Anyone know who are these people? Arcade Museum for the GTA? Or is it Mr. Anderson again??

Seems a little too sophisticated for Mr. Anderson ( mrs_used_ca on eBay - aka Mrs. Doubtful) . A good way to get leads on underpriced pins?  We'll see.

And they're prepared to pay 500$-1000$ for a Kiss..   Yeah right...  In their dreams!

And they even dare call that paying a PREMIUM..  

lol

Yeah, the idea is good, but they're crazy if they think they're going to get Museum quality pinballs for those prices.

This person must be a magician.

seems like they are not asking for museum ones.   just ones they can fix up and make museum ones out of them.  

so i guess there prices are reasonable.  i had problems trying to sell my wacko and they are offer reasonable amount for it.  know there have been more then a few machines i had that were orginal and needed minor work that i would have love to have sold for $50-100.   let alone other members destroying stuff cause they couldn't even get $25 for it.

I would say museum is a red herring. Probably just another spin on trying to pick up under priced pins.

"Give me your pin cheap because it's going to a good cause."

I put in a request for more info, no replies yet, probably horse hooey. We'll see.

Got a response from the poster.  He says he's 30 something, Army, and with a group of people who own a few machines and are in the process of collecting more for restoration to set up a museum organization and a second career over the next 12-18 mos. unless he gets shipped overseas. Confident he can pick up pinball repair and apparently some of the guys have very minimal background in game repair, specifically artwork and cosmetic.  Not sure if they're members here, but doesn't sound like there's much experience there.
