Here's one for you::WNA:CA:1348">http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAP.....e=ADME:WNA:CA:1348

Non working Williams displays.  It's TNT Amusements. He is promoting them by saying "These are PERFECT for that game you are taking to an auction---put it in the 3rd or 4th players and keep the hard to find working ones!"

What is it with people?

I like that... hard to find... just get new ones for God's sake. They are the same price as a new glass for an old display. And it is so much less trouble.

And yeah... the only people TNT is shafting is themselves...

Sad.... What a way to make $1.99. Anyone want to buy someone's ethics and morals for $1.99? Pathetic.

If RGP isn't having a field day with this yet, they will. what a stupid move on TNT's part. They will lose way more than 1.99$ of business with this...

It says on their home page: Do you really want to buy from a basement dealer?

...Not if that basement dealer buys from you...

Yes, it should come as no surprise that this hobby has no shortage of bottom feeders in it.

All hobbies have their issues, I find this hobby a hell of allot more easier to work with the the Reptile hobby.  

I've never had some many people bail on done deals then I have in the reptile hobby.  Plus since were are dealing with allot of genetics all of the hobby is based on trust and reputation.  It's easy as hell to scam someone and them not be able to prove it for at least 2 - 3 years most likely longer and you are dealing with even more fragile commodieties as they are actual living creatures where anything can go wrong.  Money wise, I'd say there is more money in the Reptile hobby then pinball.  

So as far as I'm concerned pinball is no worse then any other hobby, every hobby has it's scammers.

Has anyone ever watched one of Todd N Tuckey's (TNT) promo videos??  G-R-E-A-S-Y.
He named his kids so they all have TNT as initials.
