Quoted from pinostalgia:The guy is legit,my" victory" came all the way from his warehouse in Italy.it was part of a "container buy" a couple years ago.
That rings a bell! That's probably the coolest thing about the imports, getting a hold of some of the rarer machines. I picked up a Radical! in the container we imported last summer.
Quoted from CrazyLevi:The guy is going to steal your money if that's really what he's quoting.
Every other "import deal" in the past 10 years has been around $3000 per game. Why is this guy so generous? Why does he want to send you 160 machines and likely LOSE hundreds of dollars per game on this deal.
Use your head dude. The likely excuse of "covid-19" doesn't explain this obvious set up.
LOL... if -you- were using your head, you'd realize he's talking about shipping cost. You really think people are that dumb to think those machines are going to be sold for $200 each?
Thanks for the warning! LOL...
But, by the way, I'm not saying they aren't con artists, but it's not that you won't get the machines. Many machines will have hidden defects which are often not exposed, and that's intentional.
I will give you guys an example. Here's one of the advertised pictures of the boards in a machine.
But when the machine arrives, this is what you get.
Hhhm, wonder if that was on purpose that they didn't remove the speaker panel? Yes, those wires run behind and are soldered to the back of the board.
If you enjoy gambling, imports are for you! Ha...
Quoted from Hammerhead:I looked at the game list and prices, some are on my radar but the prices (not including shipping, customs, etc) seem very high for a decent game, not considering the "surprises" that you may find once they get here.
Yup, and that's when the fun goes away, when you realize you could have spent the same amount on a machine here that you could have fully inspected, and would have been better quality. That's why it's mostly of interest if there's some machines that you just don't come across much here.
Still, I've bought 4 machines from these guys. 3 of the 4 I was pretty satisfied with, the pics I posted are from the loser, and that wasn't the only "surprise" it held.
It's also not unusual for these machines to have bumps and bruises as they bang against each other in the shipping container. They are not adequately protected. This is one reason you may not want to go for the more expensive machines. Here's some pics of that same machine, right off the container.
