Ashburn, VA
Called Central Drive-in for Doughslingers and couldn’t leave a VM. PMd him too. Anybody know of any other local distributors, or Buddy’s phone number?
Trying to match my MMr #, and figure it might be first come, first served.

I wouldn’t index on finding someone local. In fact, out of state is likely preferred. Larry @ flip n out, Joe at pinballstar.
Joe @ PinballStar is the guy I always use. Look out however - any distributor gets allocated a certain amount of machines at a time to be fair to everybody, and sometimes there’s no machine to be had for quite a while. This is why they’ve started doing the reserve spots, so get in line ASAP
Quoted from slcorrado:Thanks, and hmmmm...is that about sales tax benefits outweighing shipping? Or am I missing another point?
Yes. Even if you buy locally you’ll end up paying for shipping. Most drop ship anyway.
Gameroom guys just left me a voicemail since I was on their interest list. I’m guessing that means they still have units in their first allocation.

Oh man please tell me you aren’t going to buy from those guys. There’s 3 closer distributors who will actually give you good service and not rip you off

I’ve never had a problem with them. However, I ordered from Larry at Flip N Out.

As long as there isn’t a problem, you’re fine. Glad to hear you’re set!
Quoted from slcorrado:But I just ordered from Buddy. He’s awesome!
Buddy is awesome. I’ve bought my IMVE and Hobbit from him new and an awesome LOTR. Great guy to work with , just didn’t realize you could drive for 8 hours and still be in Virginia... he’s way down there from NVA.
