Quoted from Apollo18:Ordered 3 sets of samples just now
$200USD
You can order the sample laminates for very cheap. I think I got around 12 for $20US shipped.
I got 15 samples for $20, but I did ship with Shippsy to a US address.

What is his average $$$ per game?
Quoted from CanadianPinball:What is his average $$$ per game?
Depends what you want done and if he has the colour in stock. Usually around $350-$400 for most games. Maybe you save a little with some other places but he stands by his work and never had a problem with parts going missing, etc. He also has a rivot gun so can put back the lockdown bar metal plate so it looks original. Some places won’t put back the metal plate and you have to do it yourself or they use screws, etc.

My flights got all messed up coming up for the event. Is there anyone driving from Calgary to the event Wednesday evening that I could catch a ride with? I will arrive at YYC around 4:45 and then have to go through customs. This is Robert Byers. Cheers.

Cool story!

Just got a call yesterday that P1 has them and I was first on the list. Ended up getting a GZ and used JP do had to skip on DP. But that means someone else will have a shot.

Anyone in Ontario get a GZ from P1 recently? Thanks.
I got an email from P1 as well asking if I still wanted a DP. I passed as well as I picked one up while waiting. So there’s another on the list for others.
Quoted from Stebel:They are getting Beatles Gold, Mando Pro and JP pro. Was talking to them yesterday.
PROs? Need some PRE lovin'
Quoted from Berserk:Can anyone recommend a broker to importing a game from cointaker? I was thinking of using clearit.ca, but wanted to see if anyone had a recent experience (covid times) of importing a game from the US.
If you're still in Kincardine just have it shipped to a depot in Detroit and pick it up. I used Beltman to ship from Missouri a few years ago to there and the whole thing was smooth as silk.
What did you do at the border? Claim it and go in to do the import paperwork, and pay the taxes? Was that before COVID when you didn’t have to do all the Canpass app information? Just curious, I like going over to the states to shop so when all this is done I will probably just bring them in myself! I really miss The Olive Garden! I no longer feel like family! Lol

Claim everything accurately if going over the boarder, it is not worth trying the shave the amount down and get caught. I have heard horror stories and they are wise to pinflation. They want their taxes. Now, if everything goes well, someone just might waive you through and you won a mini lottery but otherwise just pay the piper and move forward. 
Back glass replacement
AND Custom mirrored back glass.
Like you see on LEs.
Anyone know how or where ?
Please advise. Thank you.
I almost always claim the right amount. I have brought a bigger item over, they sent me in, then they looked up the MSRP even though I had the proper receipts. They charged me on what they thought it was worth new as opposed to the used price from the pawn shop. I had to go online to prove what I paid. They still charged me the new price. I was talking about how some machines are made in the states some aren’t so how does he get the paperwork to show where it was made. Some things need different papers to import them. I really do want to bring some back on my own. It wold save me quite a bit of money.

There is a forum for that. Looking for Playfields thread (Buy, sell, trade)

Guess I have been lucky ... declared the game went inside , showed them an invoice with both parties names..
Wrote on the invoice as in condition needs repair. Border patrol could not find pinball in computer , falls under Amusement Device ...
Short chat told them for personal use.. paid $100.00 and was told to have a good day.

Just drove a game over the Niagara Falls border last weekend. Just have your paper work in order, signed invoice, proof of payment, etc. If you want to ship it to the Niagara Falls border, you can ship it to the UPS store in Lewiston for $30US. They will hold it for 3 days before charging you extra. I have done this a few times. Great service.

That is always my concern, the handful of times that I've done it. The worst would be if they used EBAY to counter value from. That would be ridiculous but I'm sure that there are stories...

My dad would give you two thumbs up if he could for that comment
Quoted from PinPickle:Used items. Unreal. Tax was already paid on it.
Country : Great
Government: Terrible
I was shocked when I found out people in BC pay pst on used vehicles. I had to convince the guy I bought from I didn't since I'm from Alberta. How many times can the govt collect tax on a used vehicle?

In Saskatchewan they make you pay tax now on sales above 5k. I sold a 06 Chevy car a couple years back for 5k and the couple asked me to go for a drive. Was kinda skeptical. We pulled into a yard in town owned by natives. They asked me to sign saying the car was bought on native owned land so they would avoid taxes. Handed me 50 $100 bills and dropped me back off at home.

That’s absolute robbery. That’s infuriating.

In Ontario at least they collect taxes every single time it’s re-sold. Even the used POS I bought from my Father in law’s estate, which apparently according to the government is worth more than I paid, despite the $5k in repairs it needs. So you pay tax on what they ‘think’ it’s worth. Brutal.

Ugh.. yeah that is starting in BC now as well.. no more sales claims.. only book values.

but you can in Ontario have an appraiser revalue it , showing the repairs needed and all the bad , for less value and the government must accept it . the appraisers usually charge between $50- $100 , well worth the savings in taxes

Stepbro looking for a 1st pin on a 5500$ budget. I was thinking games such as T2 Judgment Day, World Cup Soccer, Road Show, Johnny Mnemonic.. Something not too, too chewed up. Thoughts, suggestions?
Or is this mission impossible at that price on our 'steamy' market, Lol

May have to keep same mindset but look at a Sega of the exact same era, should hit it right on the head.

There is a t2 in gatineau, have you seen it?
Roadshow is more in the 7k and + territory.
I love mine.
