I’ll buy you spot for $550.

Now that an update has released and the game looks beautiful, I’m surprised that none of the whiners who wanted refunds and talked about selling their deposits haven’t listed them for for $4000 in the marketplace.

Any deposit holders who don’t have the patience to wait approx a year or more to receive their machine please PM me.

I bet all Mermaid machines and quite a few STD models will be delivered in less than two years from today.

Haggis has manufactured and delivered pinball machines in a fairly short period of time.

You had my MMR deposit money for over 8 years before you finally sold the project to PPS!
Did you even have a playable/working prototype after 8-9 years?

Anyone interested in selling their deposit please send me as PM !

Serious buyer here. Are you a Seller?

I’ve never seen a scalper relentlessly stating things look horribly bleak and demanding a refund all the while trying to sell spots for 4x original cost. It’s bizarre!
People who don’t have the intestinal fortitude to wait out a delay should never order a single preorder spot let alone multiples.

We know the machines will probably never be made or it will be years before they ship if they are made. Your deposit is worthless. You even stated unless machines start shipping no one will want to buy a deposit. Anyone with the slightest bit of intelligence should laugh in your face at a asking price of $5000. At this point of time it’s not even worth what you paid for it!

What a poser/tool! When I saw him at Pinfest a few years ago he was wearing a “play rugby” T-shirt and hipster jeans and jacket with lots of pre-applied patches on them. For how big he talks you would think he was a tough guy but he actually looked like a wimpy little fellow.
If he’s on a rugby team he’s probably the towel or water boy!
We all know that he dreams of being able to post again here on Pinside

A few days ago you were crying for updates and demanding a refund, now it’s a $20,000 machine!
If it’s a $20,000 machine you are selling yourself WAY short and leaving too much money on the table.
You are clearly operating in full on/balls to the wall ” Pump and Dump” mode and really need to work on your sales skills.

Sorry for not stating that I previously judged him by his actions and posts here on Pinside. The hipster/poser clothes were the bow on the Xmas package.

You have already convinced me and most likely anyone who would ever consider buying a deposit through your endless negative posts stating that machines shipping in the near future is very unlikely. It may never happen or be a few years!

You better keep pumping hard and only post positive things all day/ everyday because as each day goes by your deposit is worth less and less.

You’ve been yelling that the Titanic is gonna sink on it’s maiden voyage and trying to scalp return tickets back to Ireland at the same time!

It’s my handle because my friends nicknamed my game room.
It’s an inside joke.
“It’s the ultimate gameroom because it’s like Dave and Busters but the games , food, beer and liquor are all Free!”

I don’t judge others by their clothes,cars, homes. Hell I drive a 23 year old Toyota Land Cruiser. I have to say you are on my short list of Aussie pinsiders that I’d love to meet someday .
Between the pallets of Coopers mild ,making your own Charcuterie, selling equipment to MFG Hard spirits/etc. you sound like a very interesting guy. I’d love to party, BBQ and flip the silver ball sometime.

Exactly! It’s way too early to tell.

My collection will never be complete until I own Punchy the Clown!

Keep up that sales pitch… Pump and Dump!

They are great pin haulers! A NIB machine fits perfect!
Here is a pic of my 1999/AKA “Old Blue”.
It’s a shame they are no longer imported to the USA.

This Fathom was at The York Pinball Show last Fall. It sold early on the first day. I think the new machines will ship. Anything good always takes time and delays are inevitable!
Serious buyer here for anyone who wants to sell their deposit. Please send me a Pm!

Only 130K on mine.
Do you have the contrasting wheel well trim?
I’ve been told it’s uncommon and was a regional option in the South and possible other US areas.
There are none in the northeast that I’ve seen. I’ve had a couple other Landcruiser owners ask me over the years where they could get it. It looks nice but also keeps dirt/ salt from kicking up on the sides.
My local dealer traded a Florida dealer another new vehicle for mine.

I remember talking to you right after you purchased it. Nice buy! What a small world, I only live a couple miles down the road from you!

The answer to the question about why there’s so few in the US is posted multiple times on this page. One of them is only 3 posts prior to the question.

If anyone(EXCEPT dOn!) is tired of waiting and would like to sell their spot please send me a PM.

So you and the other high rollers are F’n up the process of containers being filled and shipped. It’s all YOUR fault! Also anyone in the US who receives a machine and doesn’t post pics on Pinside is either a skutch and/or a grog!

I posted in this thread for anyone willing to sell a deposit spot to send me a Pm.

In the last few weeks I have only heard from 2 people. One actually had a machine and wanted $12,500.
It was located in AUS. Another offered me a spot around #150 for a couple hundred over cost but they told me that it would be one of the last machines made.
I played Cointaker’s sample machine and really enjoyed it. I think deposit holders just need to be patient. Pinball is hard and it’s also 2022 which = Mfg/parts nightmare.

Unfortunately No I didn’t buy the deposit spot. The seller said it would be one of the last machines in the run. It was a very fair asking price. I would have thought that they were built in order of the deposits. Maybe they requested a late build?

Please post a pic of your murals. Sounds very cool!

It’s not only the start ups!
I see unhappy Stern customers over in the Jaws thread that have been paid in full for LE machines for two months. Only response from Distros is “parts issues”.

Hang in there!
I and I’m sure a few others in this thread had $2500 deposits (which was 50% of total cost) sit for 10 Years on the MMR project. I chose the refund option when the project changed hands but the machines were finally built (at a higher cost).

You need Serious Intestinal Fortitude to get involved in these projects.
