I think you misread he said he could get one for 4.5k cheaper.

I just brought my first game over from the states a couple of days ago. Just taxes on the declared amount (which then gets converted to Canadian dollars and you pay tax on that amount). Allegedly though if your good friend is Native American and they claim the machine then there is only a 5% tax instead of 13% due to their tax exempt status. Allegedly you can save yourself just over $400 on a higher priced machine. That's just what I've heard... you know... allegedly .

It's not likely that you want to pay retail for a hh but they do have one at the pinballexchange in Hamilton. Just thought I'd mention it.

Don't ship the whole monitor, just pull the chassis off and ship that.

I have an empty spot at the end of my lineup that I'm reserving for a spiderman. Unfortunately after buying a new house two months ago money is too tight with renovations. I now have the space but not the money ha-ha! I guess it's true that it's one or the other in this hobby.

That's the best way to be. Sure it sucks for the hobby but it's like that with EVERY other one as well, not just pinball. I've had at least 3-4 deals now either with pinball or arcade stuff where I've known the other person was going to be getting rid of what they got from me (either in trade or partial sale or whatever). They've all asked my permission to sell as if I would be upset with whatever they did with it. I guess I respect the fact that they don't want to upset me but I always say the same thing. As soon as the deal is done it's done and the item is yours. Whether you decide to drive to the landfill and drop it off or sell it to my next door neighbor for 5x what you bought it from me for, it's yours.

Keeping with the topic of the thread I'm looking for a pro pool (also considering Hot shot, big shot, sure shot, bank shot) in southern ontario.

Although I have always liked mine there was just recently a code update to tftc that really fine tuned the game. New rules, different sounds, bug fixes etc. It's definitely worth taking another look at now.

I'll say the same thing here I did on pin rev "Way under priced, fake pictures, weird description with tons of ,,, ... ,,, all over the ad. I wouldn't be too concerned about it. Maybe someone got a good deal but I doubt it."

Did you guys read it? Way too descriptive for someone not in the know about pinball machines and way too crazy to make any sense. The game is in great shape and works perfectly... yet the game hardly ever works all the flippers are dinked etc. I didn't even bother because it smelled too much like kijiji.

Not sure why that one hasn't sold yet. Its been for sale since may. http://www.maaca.org/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=20757&p=178552&hilit=Transformers#p178552

Here's a couple reasons:

- They are pieced together cabinets that can be disassembled completely. Usually made of plastic and metal. A lot more convenient to work on than North American woody cabinets. In my eyes they are a lot better designed.
- They have a lot of parts that are interchangeable between cabinets
- They are "generic" cabinets so almost all games look right in them vs something like seeing street fighter running in a dedicated pacman game.
- A lot of them have 29" monitors (27" American) which is just about the perfect size for an arcade machine. Some of the nicest looking CRTs ever made come stock in candy cabinets and won't even fit in woody cabinets without modifying the monitor frame.
- They were made to work with Japanese controls such as Sanwa, which a lot of people would agree are much higher quality than controls like Happ.
- Personal opinion but they are a lot more stylish look at
- A lot less of them exist in North America which in any collectable market usually means more desirable.
