Different O.C. Craigslist Posting

[Sean Casey]

Here is an interesting post on the Orange County Craigslist. I will post
the link and the text from the post as it will likely be flagged. I don't
see an issue with the asking prices, so I am not sure why they posted it.

Someone is trying to be a dick to SoCal Pinballs.

[Sean Casey]

Life is way too short to be wasted on this kind of sh*t. I think the person
that posted it needs to play more pinball.

I replied to the ad asking him to sell his pinballs at those prices or
move on to something more productive. He isn't helping anyone, just
discouraging future pinball owners.

[angelsfan1]

I had my beef with him in the psat, but cleared it all up. He is a
stand up guy and whoever is doing that is really dickish. Get out more
often.

[angelsfan1]

I dont think it is David from SoCal Pinballs that he is targeting, I
think it is his brother Brian at Pintastic Pinballs, also in Corona
that someone is mad at. Probaly one of the machines previous sellers
that kept an eye out and is mad he is now flipping them. I think the
prices are still pretty good and someone is butt hurt they missed the
better deal.

[Chris LeMasters]

Brian at Pintastic is a nice guy and a reasonable person when
discussing his pins. And he will be the first to describe the details
(and flaws). I have not purchased from him (yet), but I have been
impressed with our interactions. By the way, I noted the following CL
post from him (he is in Corona where the OC fire started this
weekend):

THANKS FOR YOUR SUPPORT

I wholesale to both of those guys all the time and They are great and
easy to deal with and trust me they get dirty machines when I ship
them, and they make them look great. You have to make a little money
for your trouble and most people that put people down are just pissed
they did not get the deal...

These guys are stand up guys in all ways and noone should ever
hesitate buying from them.

Rolling eyes... So YOU are populating CA with your trashed reimport
POS games.
That's just great. All these guys do is flip machines with half ass
shop jobs to unsuspecting Ebayers.
You're endorsing them as stand up guys? That's funny like you even
know what that means.

Don't you have a stupid pizza joint to run? Why do you spend so much
time selling garbage games?

[TEXAS...@yahoo.com]

WHY DO YOU SPEND SO MUCH TIME BEING A BIG FAT NERD?
DON'T YOU HAVE A NERD CHAT SESSION TO TEND TO?
GET A LIFE YOU FAT PATHETIC LOSER!

[deafdumb&blindboy]

Wow, let Dan have it with both barrels now, huh? If Brian wants to
flip machines and do it honestly and forthrightly, then why not? I
personally service almost all of his machines before they go out, and
I can assure you that Brian is, as Shawn noted, a stand up guy, as
honest as they come. Not only does he not misrepresent game condition,
but he has even paid for repairs that I have done for new owners on
games, where it wasn't his fault. (I replaced the filter caps and BR's
on a WPC driverboard that started resetting soon after the new owner
got the game and Brian paid for the parts and labor) Anyway, my only
beef with Brian is that some of his cosmetic touchups are not quite
professional, but he's getting better every day. And sometimes he
doesn't play games enough or research them enough to know how the game
should be when totally correct, but he's among many folks here in that
respect. I like to get games, spend the time owning, researching,
playing, and getting to know them intimately, but Brian isn't that
way, he's more interested in flipping them and making a buck. But I
can assure you, he pays me to make sure they are as right as I can get
them, and while I'm certainly no expert, I've seen and worked on and
played enough games to where I know enough to get by. And not only
that, I think it's very generous of Brian to donate a portion of his
sales to fire victims - if your house had just burnt down, I think you
would agree. And Dan, maybe 10% of the games that Brian gets are
reimports. I used to report every serial number from his games to the
IPSND, and while there were a few reimports, they were a small
percentage. I agree with Bobby - don't hesitate to buy machines from
Brian. I don't service David's machines....YET.....but that's because
we got off on the wrong foot here. Which goes to show you, posting
negative stuff about people when you don't know the whole story isn't
a good thing to do.
