1933 cocktail
« on: June 27, 2015, 12:21:44 AM »
And all this time I thought Humpty Dumpty was the first pin with flippers. This one was miles ahead in technology years earlier. Better jump on it fast it's the best deal in oz!

You're a funny guy! Must admit the first time that was advertised I did a double take until I realized it was the game name.

have to agree, rude and blunt messages or none at all, he gets this stuff dirt cheap but the container load from his storage unit in LA and off loads at big dollars here - he had a zizzle that had issues and wanted $900 starting price where in the US they are lucky to sell for $80. He also doesn't allow pickup as he is only 30 minutes away, so then you gotta wonder doesn't he want you to see.

I called him up and he was generally ok. I did ask to reserve a game and locked it away -  Game comes in and he sold it to somebody else!

Good to have more pins coming in but like anything you gotta be careful on the price and how you plan to get the machine. His freight quote to an outer Melbourne depot was reasonable however.
