Bizzareclub,

Sorry man. I read some things between the lines that weren't true, shouldn't have said that. Good luck.

Whoa. Chill out here. Seller clearly isn't an English speaker.

Yeah, definitely not called for... just another reason why the world hates us!

GLWS... er auction?

relax dude.

...

Well, Jalpert's location is unknown so we can pawn him off as canadian lol!

You might want to set a price on your machine. Auctions tend to not go over so well on Pinside.

GLWS

He states in his post he is from Czech Republic in Europe...

PinballwizardZ ??

Actually, looks more like spam.

I am relaxed. It's a bait and switch. $2K in the title, auction in the post. It has nothing to do with his English. Good luck on your bids guys!

First post. No location. No information. Contact him via email. This has ALL the red flags of a spam post.

Jalpert: I don't think he's auctioning it off. It looks like he's just selling. That looks like his email address. Sounds like he's taking "highest bidder" as in best offer. I could be wrong.

If this is not spam, he fooled me

I emailed already and he has responded, seems like legit dude, hopefully bringing this bad boy to Indiana. Will update if anything seems fishy, but so far so good.

If it's legit, then the screw off comment was out of line. It wasn't because it was an auction or a price police thing as so many people like to think, it looked like a scam.

Good luck.

I meant Jalpert since he was being rude and the guy mentioned thats why people hate "us" as in americans and i was of course just joking around

Bring that bad boy back to the states.

Jak se mas Bizzareclub? Jalpert's immediate comment of "screw off" before having any facts confirms why there can be animosity towards Americans when they visit European countries. Shit like that reflects on all of us as a country and makes us look like assholes. I do not know if Bizzareclub is legit or not but I do know that immediate hostility without having a clue doesn't help. Hope you get a great machine Tsskinne!

Get over yourself. This isn't some international conspiracy to be an asshole. I really thought it was a SPAM, and it still could be, I have no idea. I already said I was out of line, what else do you want?

yeah yeah whatever

That was my first thought, too. Sure looked like spam to me, but hopefully all is well. @ OP, good luck. @Tsskinne, hope it works out for you.

And yes, let's not turn this into a larger issue of why Americans are culturally insensitive. This is a pinball forum.

Yep pinball is just pinball to me, don't care where it comes from or who from, and cheap pinball is even better. Anyone have suggestions on shipping/importing never have and need some help. Thanks.

send a pm to pinny80 (i think thats his name). he ships games international to us a lot. might have great info

Nope this is the right place, hoping we can make the deal. I contacted pinny80 to see what he advises on shipping. Hope to hear from him soon as well. Thanks for the emails Bizzareclub.

Looks nice.

Good luck with the sale.

Priced right. GLWS

Hey everyone,

I have not been able to figure out how I would get this item shipped from the Czech Republic to Indiana. I would prefer to do air freight as it seems much faster and safer than shipping on a boat. If anyone can provide me with some quick help I would greatly appreciate it, if not someone work with Bizzareclub to get this deal done. He has sent me a ton of photos, and videos of the game and seems to be a really nice person. Thanks for any help you can provide.

My nephew works in cargo at Prague airport. I'll see if I can find anything out. I know that my wife's aunt ships from Florida to CZ frequently using containers by boat. That seems to be the most economical way.

Strummy, thank you I would really appreciate that help.

Tsskinne, I'm waiting on a reply from my nephew (through my wife of course, my czech sucks). Do you know what town the machine is located in?

Also, to whoever I may have offended by bringing cultural insensitivity into the forum I apologize. I just didn't like seeing a guy getting slammed for having broken English.

It is in Prague actually. Another pinsider contacted me who lives in the Czech as well, and is English who is willing to go check the game out and help figure out transportation. I speak no Czech at all so all of your help is greatly appreciated. I have been advised to ship through Lufthansa, but struggling to get a hold of them and really concrete way to do the shipping. Thank you again for the help.

Tsskinne,

The owners of this company are friends of my wife and I. Maybe their company can help. Open the link with the Google Chrome browser and it can be translated. I'll let you know if I come up with more to help you.

The coils on the flippers don't look like they are the correct ones.

Thank you, I just sent them an email. Hopefully I can hear something back.

Just to let everyone know I have spoken to a fellow pinsider who is a British expat now living in Czech Rebublic and he has kindly offered to authenticate the game/seller for me.
He has contacted the seller but they have not made a time/date to meet up yet.
I too am interested in the pin but being based in Northern France makes things a bit easier for me with regards to shipping.
Whatever his findings are I will pass them on as that's only fair.

I encountered the same problems. I wanted to sell a ww in US but I hit the mistrust and problems with transport.not all people outside the U.S. want to fool Americans.anyway .. and I still want to sell a white water

It's not a foreign thing, it's just a thing. Americans don't always trust other Americans when doing deals across the US. It's a lot of money.

Interesting post. Will be intresting to see how this turns out.

Don't take it personally. I know every country is full of mostly good people. Unfortunately, we have to be careful because there are so many scammers using foreign addresses. My father rents several properties and about 75% of the people who contact him are trying to scam him by overpaying with a forged check and asking for him to wire the balance back or whatever. Pinball is no different. Every day there are messages posted on American sites advertising foreign pinball machines that likely don't even exist. It is a small number of people making a very large number of attempts at scams that force us to be wary.

I I sold a pin a few months ago and transported it with airplane from Brussels to LA
Cost was about 1100 € special package for pin included.
I assume with boat is less expensive but takes a few weeks.
