USSEnterprise:
Yeah, he did say that the people on RGP are not too fond of him. Personally, he seems like a nice guy. The shopping he does isn't collector quality, but more like "pinball for the average joe" quality. For instance, if there's a broken plastic, he'll either glue it, or use a large washer to cover up the imperfection. Not the best methods, but when a collector buys one of these machines, and scrutinizes it, he can find things to complain about. Personally, if I were to buy one of his machines and get a good price, I wouldn't really mind, but I'm not really a collector. He gets them working, looking nice, and sells them.  I'm getting paid once a week, in cash.

ChadTower:

If it were a good price in that condition I would say all is good.  Those are not prices in that condition.

USSEnterprise:
I don't know DMD machines, so I'll take your word for it. As long as I'm getting paid and doing something I semi-enjoy, all is good. I might be getting a cheap Slick Chick with the money I'll have made by Sunday, as well as investing some into my cab.

ChadTower:

Yeah I don't see his practices, from what little I've seen of them, as being bad enough to be an issue for you personally.  Don't attach yourself too closely to his name, though, as a bad rep is hard to shake.

The shop is located in Asbury Park, a half hour drive from where I live, but only about 10 minutes from where my father works, so its not that bad. Says he deals in mainly SS games, and he sells about 10 a week. I can't wait until tomorrow. This should be fun.

Hi,

I just lurk around here, and congrats on the job, but if this is Asbury Park New Jersey, and this is Barry White's shop, you might want to do a google groups search for "Barry White" or Barrywnj (his e-bay id) on rec.games.pinball.

I've bought from him, and while the machine works, it needed repairs, and was far from what it was represented as.

Maybe you working there will bring up the quality of the place if it's the same one.

Anyway good luck on the job.

Robert
