Seems cheap, but add 1200 to land it? more?

First of all - It is the German version - so it is "rare" because the Germans didn't like the lightening bolt "SS" - too close to the military "SS". Bally made a run just for the German market.

Therefore the game is worth FAR less than an original KISS, with the correct "SS". That just my personal opinion on the differences between the games.

Shipping and paperwork will cost AUS$1300 upwards. To give you an idea - My FATHOM cost me AUS$1500 - From Germany to my house cost $2800. So it was around $1300. This machine costs a little more, so add at least $150 more (GST on the buy price).

$4000 for a German KISS ? Worth it if it was a USA KISS.

The machine itself looks to be in superb condition, and as stated, I've bought from the seller before without any issues.

Ahhh, i didn't know that, oh well, might still be a bargain for a KISS pin fan ;-)

Just don't mention the war, i did, but i think i got away with it  :lol

I brought my Bally Corvette from this seller (5 years ago), his pins are in good condition, just factor in between $1,400 to $1,800AUD extra in importation costs.
