Wow! Good for you.

I have an HUO TSPP with 350 plays that I bought with 200 plays in 2020 for $7k. Pinflation is crazy.

No, I was considering buying it at the time. But I haven’t played it. So I decided to wait for either Stranger Things or Spider-Man.

Ahhh fair enough! I hope you found one of the other two.

I was looking for tales from the crypt but it didn't come up until after I got Dracula.

Any pinball techs in the Mississauga area? Thanks.

PM sent.

New Stern pros are quickly approaching 10k in Alberta, it’s going to affect the used market sales too, looks like people that were holding out for some sort of correction are going to have to keep waiting for a while…

$9921 without shipping with ONLY GST added. Fuck me......

$10,487 with no shipping with both taxes.

Does P1AG sell for the same prices that Nitro advertises?

I see Nitro at $9499 USD for Bond Premium.

Yes

Player One is usually the same

I bought my Iron Maiden Premium for that price only a few years ago

UP $600 usd from Godzilla Prem.

Don't worry, 2023 Godzilla Premiums will be $600USD more expensive too.

Don't even price out the LE's now.
Holy crap, they are expensive.

Anyone going to Pinball Expo in Chicago that is willing to pick up a populated playfield for me? PM if you have space. Cheers.

Anyone know of a company that will pack up a pin for shipping? Or anyone in the GTA have a newer stern box and foam sitting around?

I have a couple people in interested in my JP but they are looking to have it shipped. Obviously super concerned with packing on my own. I would hate for something to happen.

Shipping would be across Canada using Day & Ross.

Thanks

Did you try #meegis seems like he has helped others ... ?
These games are use to being moved .
It's nor that scary ...

Good luck ...

Should be able to wrap it with blankets tied around it and put on a pallet. I think there are some videos on YouTube on what to do.

I have an extra one used for my GB if you want it.

Used pallet?

That would be great!

No used blanket. It's got some padding.

Go by your local D&R tell them you need a pallet...
Sure they give one ...

Thanks Kool I have a ton of padded planters from our recent move.

Good idea on the pallet. I should be able to grab one pretty easy.

Always happy to advise. Anyone can drop me a line any time. Pm is best.

I have an extra pallet.

You are welcome to it.
PM if interested. Cheers

Are pallets really that hard to get. We have them all over the place here! Just go to a manufacturing shop. They have them piled up for free!

The bigger the pallet, the more it costs to ship.
Keep that in mind. You pay by volume, and weight. Whichever is greater.
Best to use one the size of a Stern box if boxing up a game.
31x31

Absolutely this. Or take an existing pallet and custom it smaller

how many Canadians does it take to ship a pinball machine ?

There is something very wrong about the way you think!! I love it! Lol

Home depot has pallets they give away here...
Check them out.

Thank you fine sir !

This is only viable if using a box to ship, otherwise I would never go that small (personal preference from experience)

Not a great idea to be honest, unless you properly rebuild stringers and slats, it could cause major issue for anyone moving the pallet around. If they cant use a pump truck in it because of modification, they will be forced to forklift it and that's when you can get some unnecessary damage. Whether it be from forks piercing something or just the pallet tipping due to structural integrity being gone.

I have shipped with a 31x31. Just add lots of padding as the smaller footprint causes your shipment to be close to other freight.
Freight moves slightly during shipping if too close it will rub and scratch other boxes.

I have used a 40x40 when shipping from the States (very far) to prevent this.
Within Canada I dont bother.
Warp, then movers blanket, then wrap, the cardboard panels all around. Done with a 31x31 multiple times accross Canada with 100% success, knock on wood.

If you get a damaged game after all that packing it was not strapped down correctly or it was damaged by a fork as Meggis said.
You cannot prevent that even it you used a 40x40.

A good pallet must be strong enough to support the strap pressure or it will break in half as you are cranking it down. A solid pallet will be ok!

Dont overthink it, just pad it and ship it!

I also recommend adding a “tip and tell” sticker, it will show upon arrival if the cargo was knocked over.

Thanks all! Appreciate the responses.

Any know of locations to play pinball in Kamloops? Pin map hasn't been updated in years.

Thanks

No pinball scene here really. There are usually a couple pins at Fun Factor arcade, I think Alchemy pub has a Pokerino maybe. Red Collar had a couple pins but I think they're gone now.

Thanks for the info. Surprised there's not a dedicated location with so many pinsiders in the area.

Found a brewery in Kelowna that has a nice collection of games I'm looking forward to checking out.

Played there a week or two ago, cool spot. Only Ghostbusters was playable before 5pm the day I was there though as the rest of the machines are upstairs, not in the lounge.

Canada in general is a bit of a wasteland in terms of on-locations pins.

Even in the GTA (the 4th largest city on the continent) it's rare to see pins anywhere or any kind of arcade that has them.

BNA Brewing? TheShaft updated the list recently and didn't see GB. Maybe there's a third location in Kelowna? I hope Mandolorian and Stranger Things are there.

HB001 Back In Stock (resized).jpg

Ya, a week or so ago it was GB in the tasting room, the rest of the machines are upstairs in the restaurant part that's open in the evenings. The owner is on pinside (my friend out there knows him), supposed to be a super nice guy who does rotate machines in and out.

Just ordered one, thank you!

GOTG and Ghostbusters at Fun Factor

Looks like a awesome pub. They're hosting a beer festival Saturday. Wish I could attend. Next week I guess.

That place has grown into a neat entertainment place.. it used to have a cool shuffleboard type game where you stabs in the floor and play…. Did t try it but looked fun. good to see pins added a few years back. I suggest anyone in the area stop by for a beer or bowling or pinball or all. If memory serves me right that place used to be an old Tabacco company.

Forgive me for what I'm about to ask! But, i usually scroll past the shipping to USA discussions & now wondering how i could get an accurate quote to ship a pin to the states? Do i just need their zip code & then contact a shipper like Day n Ross? Also wondering which is the cheapest!?

forgiven ... you will need all the buyer info , a bill of sale and the buyer will need to arrange the customs side of it (if required ) ... D&R is good but get on line quotes they are cheaper ... or YRC is reasonable !

Also keep in mind that some states may not allow coin-op equipment without specific details on home use or other. So I would make sure the buyer is aware of anything beforehand too.
