Thanks Tony,

This seller responded to a wanted ad I had on the Mr Pinball Classifieds on Saturday. Offered me the glass for $400.00 US plus shipping.

Problem is that there is no guarantee the glass would make it here in one piece.

Regards,
Tony

Shipping would break the deal as unless you have an account / agreement with UPS, it will cost you US$300 + to ship..

Shipping from New York to Chicago was going to be US $25. To get it from Chicago to Melbourne is $100. Then I would need to get the glass to Adelaide.

Not prepared to take the risk of breakage. Hopefully, will find one soon in oz.

That would be via USPS... You would get the glass in a million pieces !

Nino,

Shipping from Chicago to Melbourne is in a shipping container not through their postal service

I still think this is a good buy....very rare glass - like I pay nearly US$300 for reproduction backglasses + the shipping (which is the killer) and they make them 20? in a batch!
