[QUOTE="shutyertrap, post: 73398, member: 134"] I think I can safely say it was no show. Dude's phone was ringin', some for CL listings, others family members checking how he's doing. He was a rollercoaster of emotion. How he 'got' me was by rushing me to either sh!t or get off the pot. He wouldn't let me take off the glass, I never even opened the backbox (but then I didn't know how...had to watch a youtube vid to find out!), I'm surprised he let me turn it on now that I think about it. I just got immediately intimidated and felt that if I even attempted to negotiate he'd toss me out of his house. And I really wanted a table. I am a firm believer in things happening for a reason. Having the money and the table become available on the same day, all signs pointed to "go". Now I have a project, and I've never tackled a project before. I don't work on cars, I'm not a DIYer around the house. Taking the easy way out and paying for all that is immediately available to me is not gonna happen, as this is a completely non essential luxury. So yeah, I'm in new territory and it makes me nervous. Had I had the time to think, I'd still be without a table. Ya know what I did after I posted? Went out to the garage, turned all the lights off, played a good 20 games or so. And apparently I suck. Couldn't get one multiball going. As I was playing, I didn't think about not hearing "You are destroyed", couldn't care less about the wonky post (and removing that rubber made a nice difference btw), couldn't see the bad paint. Instead, I was creating a mental checklist that I can't wait to get at. The #5 target is having a hard time registering (1 in 10 hits counts), I really need new rubber for the flippers as there is zero bounce, which is leading to more STM than should be (who knew the tips were so key?), if I bump the coin door hard it gives me a credit, what if I painted the planet to look like the death star and the ship into an x-wing and changed the fire and power inserts so that they said star and wars...
