Brokerage fees, customs fees,fumigation fees, Aust Quarrantine services, container delivery fees, standard container shipping fees, port landing fees,plus plus plus etc ALL ADD UP.
I had a mate just do it, its his 3rd container in apx 4 years. It is very very expensive.Can u make money, YES but its alot more problematic for the inexperienced.
Personally, it is worth doing but ONLY if u go to Europe and hand pick EVERY machine and then watch EVERY machine get loaded. You ofcourse will only want top titles to make an earn on. Research every machine for part availability etc etc.
BUT i feel most of the time its best to go and see your local Pinball company who already have the machines in stock and haggle for a good price. Importing containers brings many headaches and lots of risk n sleepless nights.
Euro sellers like to palm off containers of junk, then say, sorry, my english not best. me not understandee the word refundyyy.
