Quoted from Canuckgamer99:

When you are shipping from a business you save the lift gate and residential pick up fee (about $150) vs shipping from a person’s house. Same on the receiving end if you ship to a business or depot.
So in the end it’s a little bit more expensive to pay a company to pickup and pack for you but you save money on shipping costs. For me personally all my pins are in the basement, I work 10 hour days and a have a bit of a bad back so I’m happy to outsource the shipping and packing. Usually $250-350 extra for a professionally packed machine but saving $150 on shipping remember so what an extra $200 in the end all said and done? TBH all the pins I had to ship this way on a $10k ++ purchase buyers usually don’t care.
Anyway if anyone is serious on Avengers I’ll knock off $250 to subsidize packing etc. special Canadian Pinsider discount eh!

Quoted from Edster:

Chambahz is a great guy and should get what is is asking...
I am thinking of selling the following games, no trades. Prices will be relative to current market. Only message if really serious. Local preferred, I am not a shipper.
Scared Stiff (restored and heavily modded w/skull topper)
Dialed In LE
Elvis (HUO/Amazing condition)
Monster Bash Remake LE
ACDC Prem (HUO never moved) color DMD & shaker
Medieval Mad. (original restored *Bill Davis* w/color DMD)
Champion Pub (colorDMD)
Iron Maiden LE
KISS Pro (last to go. Might keep it) ** backglass autographed by Peter Criss, he'll probably never do another one **

Quoted from Pinwalker:

I have purchased 5 NIB in the last 366 days from Player One in Mississauga. I still can't get a sniff at an LE purchase. Maybe you will have better luck.

Quoted from Apollo18:

Looking for advice
In Ontario
What are options for distributors ?
I’m an honest committed pinhead looking for NIB distributor
I’ve realized that I will be buying A Lot pins for decades to come etc want to build the best relationships & network
Moving forward.
Anyone with experience, please PM me.
I’m new and welcome any and all advice.
Also any advice on working with distributors on getting an LE. being in Ontario, I have given up all hope.
Thank you in advance.

Quoted from Mr_Tantrum:

While I'm not Canadian nor do I live in Canada, I'm always curious about this thread when I see it. Just wondering how a pin for sale in Canada helps someone who lives across the country (i.e. no different than having a thread called "Anybody in the US Have Any Pins They Want to Sell?"). Might be just a countryman thing (which I have no qualms about), is it difficult transacting business in the US for a pin that might be closer to you than somewhere else in Canada?
Just curious, not making any judgement or moral statement.

Quoted from Rob_G:

New LE are almost unobtanium because deep pocket buyers buy every one and they get theirs while others probably don't.

What's a MET pro worth these days?

Quoted from MrMikeman:

This again ^^^^
About time we go back to pre-pandemic thinking on mods. Most mods add ZERO value for resale. Pinsound, ColorDMD are the exception given the ability to use them on any game. If you want to recoup some of the cost then remove the mods and sell separately.

Quoted from Jcanuck72:

Thanks for all of the input on buying a pinball (Rush)! So it sounds like there isn't a huge difference between buying new or used in this case.
It was mentioned that Stern is not making Rush right now ... Do they publish their schedule?
Also, do you think there is chance of a price increase? It seems hard to believe, but everything else keeps going up ... Maybe another reason to buy used.

Quoted from Chambahz:

Bowen makes pins look fun.
If I were that good, I could enjoy any machine too!
