Ive bought 2 machines from Ebay.. a $600 Gulf Stream and a $280 peep show project.
The rest have come from private advertising or close contacts

About half via the forum

Of the rest about 20% dealer, 10% container importer (not set up as a shop front dealer), 10% ebay, 10% mixture ie spotted by someone else, only one NIB (BBB but that was a special case).

Love the extra info.  *%*

Can I be your friend?  :lol  $!&

Phew, for a minute I thought I was going to get a Gerry Harvey style pejorative and be called, "un-Australian" for not buying locally.  :lol

1 - Container/Dealer.
1 - Found on eBay, private sale outside of eBay.

Just realised it's almost exactly one year since I bought my first one! I wonder how many I'll buy in year 2 :)

I only have one game a Mata Hari and I found it on gumtree.  ^^^

I will say over all the gumtree experience is crap
I tried to buy three Others machines on gumtree before I got this one and I think two were scams and the other I was dicked around by the Seller.

Gumtree is horrible and full of scammers and dickheads  @.@
