OK, at the risk of starting another witch hunt (and boring some people to death), but  come on  

this has got to be a Stephen Anderson  scam ad, right? :  http://hamilton.kijiji.ca/c-bu.....e-W0QQAdIdZ109071186

We get it. Why not dedicate a section to Mark Utterly or even give him his own website? (extreme sarcasm)

The guys a crook and he posts all over the internet. Got it.

If your greedy and jump all over something that looks all too good to be true on the internet your likely to get scammed and apparently even as likely it will be this guy.

The volume of crap this guy puts out there this could keep someone fully preoccupied. Like I have said before, "Where is the law getting involved in all of this?"

I get what you're saying for sure, but if he was shitting in your sandbox, you'd be a bit more perturbed.  

...Too easy to fall into the trap of assuming that every ad from Hamilton is a scam.

Besides... ads about someone LOOKING for a machine don't worry me. YOU are the one getting the money, and the rule is simple... don't ship unless a payment clears.

If it were him SELLING, then I would say approach with caution and contact the person first to organize a meeting.

keep in mind there are many other collectors who post ads like that.. hell, I've posted a couple myself before.  Never turned into anything though.. other than scammers contacting me

Totally true, I'm just going on gut instinct.  Hope I'm wrong.

Didn't your mother ever tell you the difference between a litterbox and a sandbox?

MAACA is a sandbox. Kijiji and Craigslist are litterboxes.

Hasn't kept people trying to do their business on MAACA but Sparky runs a pretty mean honey wagon and cleans it up.

For further clarity: Hamilton is a litterbox. Flambro is my(our) sandbox.  

a few of my machines came from hamilton via a third party. i see a few different hamilton peeps searching for pins on london's kijiji with similar ad's (although none of the names associated with mr anderson.)

all three of the machines i've purchased in hamilton have one thing in common.(purchased over a 2 year period)

what i'd like to know is this.
     who's the repair guy in hamilton with the hot's for hot glue?
likes to hot glue rubbers to the flippers. hot glue's broken contacts , hot glues broken flippers, hot glues broken plastic's and any other broken parts for that matter..

HAHAHAHAHH!  Now THAT made me laugh!  Haven't run into one of those yet.

my fav. hot glue repair of his

hot glue and duct tape to fix broken playfield rubbers (provided they are rotted and stretch to hell)

that being said, its not the worst hack repair i've come across.

i once removed 18feet of bindery twine from inside a cab (one big web-tied to anything and everything.) its purpose was to replace a broken flipper bushing (or at least preventing the  bottom of flipper shaft from moving too much.)
