This has been dicussed many times - do the sums on what you get for your money - factor in delivery, customs broker fees, GST and delivery then storage and divide it back.

It works out to be pretty bad value per machine.

Agree with Mike, the packages are designed to toss the unwanted with the popular, hence only very average value.

I know the seller Jason well.
He is living in the USA/Las Vegas area buying n seeling n flipping a lot of residential and commercial properties.
He is a switched on guy.
He usually only buys the best examples of a pinny that he can find and I know from buying machines from him and meeting his family he is an honourable Brisbane guy.

If anyone was ever interested in something he has, maybe 3 or 4 machines versus a big batch, drop him a email or a phone call. A really easy n professional pin head to deal with.

Pinballs are his passion in life. He has a very serious Australian collection which was nearing over 100 U Beaut machines last time I had the pleasure to be invited over.

well if the case and anyone wants any other ones he has I am up for the robocop ;-) probably do one more if needed to have enough..

but the question is how much it would cost to get 3-4 machines here to justify the purchase...

No chance on even getting close to breaking even.

There's no desription as to the work done for "General Restoration" and "Major Restoration". Then there are remakes !

I think  the idea of the auctions as as per most dealers - Advertising.
