I understand that mate and I also understand that it takes a lot of guts to put your hand in your pocket to finance this type of thing.. hats off to them and a lot of respect on that part. I also understand that they need to make a return.. of course they do! Business is business.
What I don't understand is that if your are going to stump up $50K or so and need to make a return.. why are you limiting its success by only letting 1 forum go?
Aye.. its their money and they can do what they like, but talk about cutting your nose off to spite your face.
If I had any money tied up in this at all id be shouting about it from every possible angle and making sure everyone across the hobby and general public knew about it.. but that's me and its not my money and for that im glad.
The 300 available $150 a ticket for the 250 machines? IF it sells out at that price then there are more people than machines.. if I paid $150 for a private party id expect the run of any machines id like.. $150 doesn't sound like a good deal to me... id still not get a game on CV.. MOP etc as they would be taken up... the crappy RECEL pins on the other hand.. well.
Dunno mate.. theres a lot of sour grapes in this Expo and it really does sum up the Australian pinball community very well... its not a happy place is it?
