I am talking 2 yrs ago in QLD, not 6 yrs ago in Melbourne. Big difference ofcourse.
I believe pinball machines, of almost every variety n type are cheaper in QLD than any other state. I believe its been this way for 5 or more years.
Why, because more private and dealer pinball containers have arrived in QLD in that time, and they have all been selling projects straight out of the container more than any other area/state. Melb sellers don't like to sell projects unless they have to. History and general selling practices have shown that. QLD container sellers have mostly sold straight out of the box, hence the pinballs being cheaper, but I also reckon the quality of the machines have been better because the QLD guys have paid more per machine and scored a better product.
but I am certain if I said the sun was shining, someone would disagree just for the hell of it to antagonise. ofcourse.
