is this a bad move?

so i've been trying to buy a pinball machine for the last year and a half or so... saving money where i can, checking out the inside sales, etc, etc...

there's a good chance that a table will be going on the market soon... and it's one of the tables that's on my short list of tables that i would buy...

here is my dilema:

a friend of mine recently had her dad croak on her... she is living in his house (where the pinball machine is) but her sisters want to sell off their dad's estate... she doesn't...

if they do sell the estate, this would however mean that the pinball machine would be for sale, and on top of that, i would be able to get it cheap (this table usually sells for about $1200 and i figure i could get it for under $500, if i get it from girl directly)

the issue is that i'm weary of saying "as long as your sisters are fucking you out of a place to live and all, wanna sell me your dad's old shit?"

so yall think i should go ahead and ask, or would this not be the move of "a friend that's there for you and shit"..?

i dunno man,ide let it pan out and see whats up

as long as its gonna happen, im sure that she'd rather go to you than to some stranger.

i agree with that last comment definately

how we all um

"I think your father would want me to have it"

Well if it comes to it and they do start selling stuff just say, I've always liked it and I would like to buy it rather then let it go to a stranger... make her think your doing her a favour.......which you will be

asking never hurt

Dude... It's a pinball table.

If a bitch cant swim, shes finna drown.

Get yourself a table son!

Just tell her three things:

"we're friends right?"

"Don't you want to see your friend happy?"

(If shes not having either of those)

"Fuck you if you can't take a joke"

The real question here is.

Would her getting mad at you force you to lose pussy?

No?

Then why the fuck would you deprive yourself of some fine arcade action?

They would probably get as much from you as they would from an estate sale or auction.

and like it was already said, it's better that a friend has it than some stranger who might scrap it.

AMEN!!

tell her you'll wack her sister for her, in exchange for the pinball machine.

if you can do it, without being an uncouth bastard, and showing to her that you care more for her and her troubles, and the pinball table is an afterthought, then go for it

you might try asking what she's plannin on doing with it, at an appropriate time. after she answers, come back with the, "I always wanted one of these" line.

Like everyone else has said, I'm sure she'd rather you have it than some stranger.

Pinball eclipses all other things. I would always pick pinball over anything that this life offers.

i think i was drunkenly over thinking this...

pinball is one of the four things my life revolves around...

i'm gonna ask next time i see her...

Run up in the house and give her mom a caesar cut amidst pissing on the floor while you stand on the toilet, tap your heels together three times, flick yourself in the balls and taked that shit.
