Depends on the title and the price. It helps if the price is set / agreed upon BEFORE you decide to take the trip.
Not willing to trust pictures, and have been burnt a few times
I need to inspect the game before agreeing to a price
I'll drive anywhere to buy a machine I really want, or just for "the memory"..
Did that with a video game, was surprised all the guys pinball games were in storage ;)
(but it was a good chat)
The chats and the memories - even catching up with pinheads (and arcade dudes
) are always a highlight of a transaction.
I know someone who is driving 16 hours (round trip) to pick up a pinball machine - How's THAT for being keen
