Thank you Robin, thank you guys for the estimates,
I have some people interested, but there are many things I'll need to check first, shipping costs..etc
I suggested to have a middle man that both parties can trust, I have no idea how escrow services works so better stay away from all that.
It all depends on how much shipping going to cost, tax, custom charges..etc to see if it's going to be suitable for buyer and seller, I do not want to lose too much, otherwise I'll better keep them.
Quoted from robin:First of all. I'll vouch for Binghanem. He's a real nice dude who happens to live in Dubai. We spoke several times. IMHO he should get kudos for collecting pinballs over there.
At least show him some respect, some of the comments here really are uncalled for. I have instructed the mod team to crack down on these types of unfriendly posts so you'll see more heavy handed moderation towards such nasty posts and, hopefully, a friendlier Pinside.
Shipping costs and worries about previous power use will probably diasadvantage you in sales to the US. Have you considered approaching the owners of the arcades in the malls there? Also, a lot of the expats there attend weekly brunches, on Fridays, I think. They're mostly paid well and might be potential buyers. Maybe consider putting your working games in one of those stores that sell expensive, whimsical art, giant sci-fi figurines, and other odd things, on consignment. Of course none of these ideas will help you on the machines that aren't working, unfortunately.
Quoted from SUPERBEE:Would it be make more sense to find a buyer in Europe rather than North America ? Not sure of all the logistics .
I would try and sell the lot to Australians.
I would imagine there would be an LCL container service to Sydney/Melbourne, and you'd get good prices there.
