Big gamble!

Nice titles though.

He has that price because he WILL NOT under any circumstances want to sell a container via eBay - you would have to be a complete fool to do that.

It's a fishing ad

I guess the email distribution that this contact usually follows has run dry ? It is an ad to gain new customers.

Was that this guy.....   http://aussiepinball.com/index.php?topic=9334.0

no - This is the supplier that sells average games at best. Mixed grill - you need to go over and pick them out.

Yep, doesn't make much sense to have someone halfway around the world who you haven't meet spend 100k of your hard earned for you on games you haven't seen.
 I suppose he must think he'll get a bit of someone or he wouldn't bother.

You can't pick all A list titles either.

Two of the rules I remember when I made enquiries were:

No more than 25% of total container can be A list Bally Williams or late model Sterns.
You have to take some Data East/Gottliebs/Segas.

Like I said - this isn't the price - this is a HIGH price to prevent anyone from buying on fleabay. All he is doing is advertising and generating leads.

I have some of my boards on fleabay as well most for $50 MORE than on my website because I don't want anyone buying through eBay - it causes too many problems and potential issues.

I guarantee if you contacted him directly the price would be vastly different to the fleabay advertised price.
