Quoted from Sparky

I would have framed it on my wall... it would look good beside a Nigerian cheque and a Wayn-o C&D.

You're more likely to get a Nigerian cheque before you ever see an actual C&D from Wayne.. unless you'd rather frame his email threats, in which case I've got a few dozen you can have.

Are you saying pins only is sane?

He might be a really good guy but when it comes to pinball he's nuttier than a loon.

Yeah, he's insane.  I want to be insane too but my wife won't let me.  

Quoted from Mrhide

Can't believe you would actually go to the post office with that!!

FYI.  It is a Canadian Postal money order and hence the best place to cash (for smaller amounts only I found out) is at the Post Office.  

Quoted from websherpa

No offense, but in this day and age, it amazes me that anyone could be so niave as to even "almost" fall for this, it's the oldest con in the book, and reeks so bad you should have been able to smell it coming a mile away.  Having said that, I just knocked on wood, because it's the scam you don't know about that will get you.

You said it right.  But, it COULD happen to you, trust me!  I have more experience buying/selling than ANYBODY on this entire great forum.  Not just EBAY, travel to USA, lespac and other, etc.  But all possible ways of sending & receiving money.  It happens that someone is so serious and knows the hobby so well and he did a thing that said that I had to send money (after I subtracted the machine price) for a shipper to come buy to pick up the machine which sounded all right at first.  

I wasn't actually going to send money unless I cashed money out (of course if the bank/post office didn't realize that it was a fake, would they have traced me back later to ask for their money back - that might have been a problem).  Lucky for me that my eye had seen enough Postal Money orders to realize it wasn't right....
