Does anyone know if he is firm on his prices? I always heard he does not reduce his asking price by much.
Don will deal on prices or at least has in the past. The typical issue with Don is he does all sorts of crap that most would never do.
Flame Polishing can = Slightly melting or boiling
Cleaning = wipe down the easily reached pf areas
LEDs = the cheapest junk you cna find and color bombed on the game
Clearcoating = rattle can spray on the whole pf (commonly on top of mylar and without depopulating the pf_
Fixed = wood screws
As I said before many times, Don is a very nice guy. Just does not treat games the same way as many collectors would. He also does not detail everything and leaves it to the buyer to discover.
Quick example is the StingRay he has had listed for a bit. He does not mention that it has extensive touchups and hand painted art with text decals stuf down on it. Thing is quite rough upon closer examination. I have found that every Don game is typically lots of surprises.
All said, he does find some nice games and those mean less bastardizing so they can be nice. i.e. the IJ4 and POTC are likely nice but probably dirty underside games. I would be interested in IJ4 for route but it is overpriced IMO.
