Uh, there are more than 5 verne's world in the us and it had a production of 100. As for jumping on it now? These come up very rarely and parts are very tough to come by so don't expect to buy a beater and fix it. Not in the mood to start an argument over price, but for anyone interested do your homework on what they have sold for in the past. Also take a good look at what these are worth in their native lands and the actual cost of importing.

I am saying whoever is interested needs to do their homework. Nothing for or against because if you say anything that isn't purely positive someone gets their panties in a knot.

If you say so.

You are right, should have known better. I wasn't beaming with positivity and you went and got your panties in a knot. I will go flog myself 20 times with a broken flipper bat to atone for such a sin as suggesting someone do research.

For the record, I never said the op was overpriced so perhaps you should use a brain cell before calling me a scumbag.

Might want to link to the thread over just posting a single comment from it. I spoke with the seller in that case. He lived in Spain but wanted well above what they sell for there. He felt he deserved a premium because he was willing to deal with an international buyer, but was going to do nothing other than sell the machine. IE buyer does all the work.

I talked to him and with a few that have imported specific machines as this is/was on my list. Came very near to getting one already in the US, but opted for mystery castle.

Last post on this one because the point of telling folks to do their research wasn't to derail the entire for sale thread. Typical pinside, failure to post adoration for group think results in a fight.

I said do their homework. Never said it was over priced. Never said its not worth it. Its worth it if you have to have a jolly park right now and do not want to do the leg work or wait for another. Its worth it if you want a nice jolly park rather than a beater because as I said, good luck trying to fix up a beater. There are so few of these available (here or overseas) that you just can't expect to buy one on any given sunday.

In terms of being worth it? Its a mediocre game from a defunct company that you cannot get parts for. Its desirable because its different, but there is a reason it failed to sell in the first place. I opted for Mystery Castle over this, but that is just my opinion.

And yes, if you say I pulled a scumbag move you are inferring that I am a scumbag.

How about both of you just drop it? If you want to continue this why not create a separate thread? If you have a problem with me vdojaq send a pm or heck open a thread and we can bash heads pointlessly and kill a few hours.

I posted my opinion on the game. You posted yours. Discuss the actual sale or let's all just get out and let others do some talking.

Usually if they have it listed they own it. With 14 people you could easily message all of them and ask.

There are a number of collectors who refuse to list their machines on here even though they are members. Also a lot of collectors in the US who do not like pinside or have never heard of it so the number within the US is going to be higher than what you see on here. Anyone's guess how many. The game is certainly rare, but if you think there are less than 14 int he us you are sadly mistaken.
