How can you save hundreds? Looks like it is only $10 a sheet difference.

That is false. I though it was great and would love to have some but could never bring myself to spend that much on glass. The wait was usually the stopper when I would consider buying a sheet.

That is a pretty large charge. It does not sound good coming from another producer, like whysnow said earlier. Even though you have bought a WOZ it sounds bad when you question it here. Buy a sheet and test it instead of speculation here.

LOL. I know you're just joking but Terry is the man. The new logos just began about three months ago, so no worries.

And as a quick aside, not only does Pinball Life have an excellent reputation with you, his customers, Terry has also been a solid guy in each and every dealing he has had with me as a vendor... and customer.

No I wouldn't. In fact, if I had the option to pay $50 more to get it now I'd have done that on all 14 of my sheets I ordered. The product is amazing. Gotta have it now

I wasn't willing to wait, hope to have invisiglass next week, I'm sure both are great!

The logos definitely add the "hi I am not trash" factor. My kids almost tossed one but saw the logo.

Are you still planning on flying this stuff back from Europe at a better price point?

Thanks for saying that. One of the reasons I added the logo was to class it up a bit but mostly it was because of bootleg Glare Guards being sold. I caught a vendor selling a knock off version at a show recently. I confronted him right there. He won't be doing that again.

Another time a customer complained to me about the guards he had purchased at a show and I agreed to refund his money once they were shipped to me. What he sent wasn't my product. The bend was incorrect and poorly done and the bottom side was not textured to defuse the lights. It was like a black mirror shinning the playfield lights right back at the player.

You guess it, he bought from that same vendor.

Please don't misunderstand. I'm flattered if any one of you guys want to copy my design for your personal use. I make them as a convenience for people. But I don't take kindly when someone steals my intellectual property for profit.

Yep, I know. I like the logo a lot.

The worst part is that if you went to court to fight the patent infringment we would all lose. The cost would have to go up so high nobody could afford them just from court costs.

$65 for shipping!!! That kind of takes the "discount" out of it, doesn't it?

How is Pinball Life shipping a similar product for ~$20?!

Just to make sure the correct information is out there:

Invisiglass is $295 per sheet (widebody or standard). It is currently in stock at Pinball Life.
4-9 sheets reduces the cost to $285 per sheet.
10-20 sheets reduces the cost to $275 per sheet.

Shipping is calculated by the actual distance you live from Chicago. Typically, 1 sheet ships for around $18-$22 to the midwest, $25-$28 to the south, and $30-$35 to the west or east coasts.
Two sheets ship for around $25-$30 to the midwest, $33-$39 to the south, and $40-$50 to the east or west coasts. Shipping can be calculated from the lower left hand of the cart screen once you have added the sheets you need.

I have to throw my two cents into this thread.... Terry (Pinball Life) is a retail genius. If you consider something as simple as a shaker motor and assign a retail price of $285 plus an absurd shipping cost on an item it becomes cost prohibitive to the majority of hobbyists. The reality is that a shaker motor is a very simple item with a motor that can be acquired from Granger for next to nothing. In no way is that item something that should command a price tag north of three hundred dollars. Terry brought that item to the market south of $200 delivered. I can guarantee that the volume in sales of this item has skyrocketed at this price. Additionally, he has made this item a realistic purchase for the MAJORITY of pinball hobbyists.
If Pinball Life is distributing an item, you can be certain that it is being done in a manner that is fair and honest. Once sales volumes prove themselves I have no doubt that Terry will leverage his buying power to purchase more product at volume discounts. My guess is that those savings will be passed on to the consumer. A retailer has to turn a profit to remain viable. Terry has more than earned my loyalty as a consumer (To the tune of THOUSANDS of dollars).
Oh, and before I forget.... Kim's (Wrong Crowd) glare guards are on hell of a good idea for keeping reflection to a minimum... He is a standup guy with probably the most well kept collection of machines I have ever seen. I picked up a Simpsons from him awhile ago that was MINT... He is a pure collector and enthusiast..
Peace out....
