I was reading this on RGP this morning:

http://groups.google.com/group/rec.games.pinball/browse_thread/thread/e6329f3d362fa433#

Seems that Wayne, the guy that was going to save pinball, has taken to buying containers of used pinballs from Portugal, i guess the MM remake is going well, and guess what? He got screwed and then he posts on RGP for what? Is he looking for sympathy?    What goes around, always comes around.  


It has been scientifically proven that light is faster than sound. That is why some people seem brilliant........until they open their mouth!

Can anyone give a bit more background on this guy (WAYNE)?  I would like to find out more in case I have to deal with any of this in the future.

as bitter sweet as it is, I have to grit my teeth and offer sympathy. I don't like seeing anyone get screwed, no matter how much of a grinch they are.. especially after being screwed myself around this time last year.

I thought that Waynus guy had been refunding money to people who have preordered MM from him?

About a year ago when I was really new to the hobby  I remember stumbling on his online order form, $5000 US$. Wasn't there also a plan to do Cactus Canyon?

Even if he refunds the money, he can use their money as an interest free loan. He can invest it and earn interest. Wayne stinks, period.

He's also not refunding the money as freely as he used to, apparently.

Umm, in case anyone isnt aware, interest rates are poo poo.

I think Wayne really wanted to make it happen, and at $5K a throw, probably wouldnt have made much on it either at the volume expected.

Anyway, so long as he refunds all the money, I don't think he deserves to be berated. Maybe I am missing something here.

Yeah. I guess in some ways it's justifiable to laugh at Wayne. After all he was paying for that container load with money he screwed other people out of.

So I guess this is going to equate to another years delay on my NIB CC eh?

Exactly. It's not like he just puts people's money into a savings account. He's obviously using it to buy pins in order to sell them at a profit.
