The price is set, so find a distributor you trust. Also, some have deals on shipping, etc. There are also show deals. I got a great deal on a SW Premium from Larry at Flip n Out and Marco. Because it was played at the show, it was technically not NIB so they were able to go below the price set by Stern. Also, need to look at the in-state tax thing...which sucks. But sometimes a great distributor can work with that, too. On my first NIB purchase I bought from Larry and had to pay in-state taxes because I wanted to have a distributor that I could physically drive to, if needed. He was great. Instead of paying shipping, he brought the game to my house, took it down my basement with his Escalera and set it up for me. He showed me how to open it up, check the switches, etc. Helped me dial it in. I can't tell you how great that was for someone who never had a NIB experience. I'm not saying he would do it for everyone, but he earned my business and respect. He's always been there to help with questions. That is what a good distributor can do for you.
