Same deal with Melbourne. Cashbox is the AMD distributor, but they don't have them in a showroom, as they operate them.

There is zero promotion in Melbourne. To play a new Stern it would be pot luck in a city location.

This is why you SHOULD become a STERN Dealer.
How many people on this forum buy BNIB Sterns each year. I would say a good 50 plus.
At a grand $1,000 a pop profit, its a very easy way to make a grand. Its not like u couldnt fix the occassional loose globe holder or something. Not everyone wants ancient pinball machines.
5 minutes to sell a new Stern and make a grand, net ! , OR 25 hrs plus @ $40 labour to fix up a old nineties/70's machine, gross, minus costs. The sale of a new Stern would be a simple way to make money.
Its like alarm techs who dont do camera systems but only do alarms...they miss out on hundreds of sales per annum because they couldnt be bothered.

I would rather be a full service pinball professional versus a semi-service operator.

Profits dont talk, they swear loud n clear in every language. You are allowed to change your mind about Stern Nino. making money in business is what its all about.

How about you being the BEST STERN DEALER in Melb. It makes alot of sense and your contaners will run dry sooner or later. Stern is such an easy sell when u have 50 sales a year already lined up from AP members to start with. Think abnout it with a open mind before you condemn the idea.

$$$ is $$$. In this economy, I would take all the easy $1,000 profits in a heartbeat, not to mention spares and mods u can charge for.
