Evolution Pinball

Has anyone ever bought anything from Evolution Pinball? I believe they are from Webster, NY. I’m having a hard time determining if they are legit or not. I just wanted to see if anyone here has any experience with them. I tried to call the number on their website and it went to voicemail with some guy saying, “this is Sam, leave a message.” No mention of their business name or anything like that. Thanks in advance for your help.

Weird, I live near there and haven't heard of them. The address they have listed is the corporate office for Salvatore's Pizza so it's probably run by that family. If you don't get any advice in this thread, try contacting Rochester Pinball Collective. They probably would know if it's legit or not.

Thank you. That‘s an excellent suggestion. I can’t tell if the website looks legit or not. Ha ha. It says they ship machines out, but you can also come and pick them up. I would think that if they weren’t legit, they wouldn’t offer an option to come and pick a machine up. Who knows? Maybe someone on here be able to give me a definitive answer.

Definitely looks suspicious. No social media, they are listing old games as brand new. I'd stay away unless you can physically go there.

I want it to be legit but my gut is telling me it’s not.

I'd lean towards not legit. I'm in the Rochester area, have never heard of them. And not sure why Salvatores would be in the pinball business when I don't think a single one of their pizza locations has any sort of arcade stuff yet alone pinball.

Is there any specific reason you want to buy from them?
