Ask the Newcastle Pinball Assoc - I just GAVE them a Hankin table to raffle and asked that they donate 50% of the proceeds to Ronald McDonald House in Newcastle and use the balance to run the assoc.
Is that "giving my stuff away" good enough for you?
I won't employ any more in Australia than I need to because of the over the top costs that make it impossible to manufacture a pinball machine there. If you think my Chinese staff are paid "next to nothing" then that proves exactly that you don't know anything about China - it is a LOT more expensive here than many realise. The advantages are simple, I can buy practically any part or have any service done such as plating, mould making etc etc all within a 10km radius of my factory - you just can't do that in Australia.
Again, please remind us exactly what it is you have done for the pinball community?
PS - sorry for the thread hi-jack Gavin but I felt my responses were required.
That is the entire difference between what I do and why I do it and most others that ONLY run a business "for the money".
Mate if you weren't in it for the money you would make your shit in Australia not china
You would employ Australians like the rest of us who own businesses.
At the end of the day you are greedy son of a bitch who wants to pay his workers next to nothing to help maximize profits and play the "oh I dont do it for money" card
what a load of bullshit.
If you dont care about money then start giving away free games instead of selling them, why not? you seem to want to make your self out as some sort of Fkn Santa clause 
But what ever helps you sleep at night hey mike?
You gave one a away for a Raffle, shit my business is like tiny compared to you and I given Tens of thousands of dollars worth of stuff away for charity.
Again how much do you pay your workers in china in Aus dollars?
your not worried about making money so why not employ Australians we need investment in this country? The truth is you are maximizing profits so dont fkn lie mate.
I hate people who lie
you could be here like the rest of us employing aprentices and giving jobs to Australians.
you dont care about moneyand we have a massive rate of youth unemployment that needs business like you to help with. but NO the bottom dollar is all you give a shit about
Then you come out and say you are like santa claus giving away a free table WOW
while the rest of us eploy and help train kids here and do our damnedest to keep them employed while guys like you fuk off over seas
