    Quoted from PopBumperPete:

    Be glad you live in the USA
    try living outside America and see shipping prices quadruple (or more)

    Haha yeah. I dream of $7 shipping.

    Marco is by far the most expensive with shipping/handling.

    Terry at pinball life is good, Art at Comet is good, Cliffy is always good. These guys try and keep the cost to "the actual cost" which is really appreciated. Especially when the NZ dollar only buys 67c at the moment.

    Interesting that Big Macs are the same price (roughly) in the USA, NZ and Australia, but the minimum wages are:

    USA $7 usd all up
    NZ $15.25 = $11 usd plus holiday pay, etc etc
    Aus $17.29 = $12.50 usd, plus holiday pay, etc etc

    Quoted from MrBally:

    Keep in mind this is a "urban" location. I advise anyone going there at that hour to pack heat

    Would this be sufficient?

    Quoted from vid1900:

    I love buying playfields from Marco with their $9.99 shipping

    You could buy a CPR one with $219 USD shipping to NZ.

    By the time we buy a Playfield and ship it to New Zealand, sometimes it costs more than the whole pinball machine cost to buy in the first place.

    Thems the breaks of living in Paradise.

    Great picture. This looking out your living room window?

    Of course!

    No, this is the view out my window ... More of a cityscape.

    Quoted from MrBally:

    NFW. I'm going through there daily (when I'm not flying somewhere) due to a major freeway construction closure. I see cops pulling cars over daily. As the cop approaches the car they pulled over. Their hands are always on their heater and it is slightly out of the holster.

    That sounds like a swell place. Cheap real estate though!
