A friend of mine who is very cluey, just went to Japan after the crap time the japaneese economy has had, and he bought 2 x containers of immaculate japaneese machines. All high end. It was smart of him to approach operators who needed cash and he did EXCEPTIONALLY well.
Europe is only one market to scource from, USA still has lots of good stuff as well.
I am told from my importer mate there is still ALOT of A grade stuff in Europe but alot of the Aussie buyers still want to pay peanuts per machine. Pull out more cash and the better condtion titles and machines magically appear. Still alot of good stock out there if u are cashed up. Importing is too painful for me, but worthwhile for many still. 
Too true... too true.
We are sold crap machines cos we keep buying them. Dealers will continue to bring in bucket games that cost bugger all cos buyers continue to pay just under what a good example is valued at.
If you dont like them then dont buy them!
