Well as for reaching out to s FL guys i just didn't have phone #'s i asked about Klassic but did not get his # well till lat night when he called, as for Ron or drunktek did not have those either  believe me i did not want to drive but  i did , i too think it some one that knew that i had $ form selling various games , taxes worked etc as of late and was saving it for the car, but honestly  who here would not go get a 3k MM if it seemed real. i mean i did email , and talk voice to the guy and the address is a decent home   

Maybe we need a member directory some place  ?

For future reference, the first item on the first page of this Forum is a link to a map that you can access to see where many of the members live.  There is also a messaging system to contact people through the board if you do not have their email.  I will always try to help a fellow board member, as will others.

Have a better day.

george (home owner) doesn't know what a medieval madness is, had never owned a pinball, and is in his late 50s.

picture of house attached: it's in a higher rent neighborhood for pompano beach.

It makes you wonder if would someone do that for a robbery.  Make you come to a random home knowing you had cash and put a gun to your head.

I don't see that Herman has ticked anyone off enough to put him through this.  It's either the typical CL seller who promises it to one guy and gives it to another then tries to ditch the swindled buyer... or with real pics, phone calls, real address and the owner of the house not knowing anything, it is shady in a very sinister kind of way that shouldn't be tolerated.

I thought you said it was an upscale house?  That is far from upscale.  I would NOT have even got out of the car for a 3k machine at that house.  It has "robbery" written all over it!

Herman, First off sorry that you were caught up in this and glad that you are ok.

From reading this thread, it seems to me that Herman was singled out. I, like many of you tried to contact the seller with no reply. It seems strange that Herman, not being the first to reply, was still picked. Coincidence?

Chris wore his Police shirt?  If somebody came to my door with a shirt with Sting and Andy Summers on it, I'd be scared too!

Well, I guess it's making the rounds:

Kudos on the effort Herman!   It is curious that you were picked, even tho you weren't the first to respond...


Arcade collecting was a lot more fun before CL !
