Quoted from Mr_Tantrum:I've never purchased new, but I would consider it. Not getting ahead of myself as I need to first finalize the sale on my DE JP, and looking at a couple of other options also, but thanks to everyone for the valued input.
PS: Would you happen to have any suggestions for distributors?
If you're wanting one soon, my advice would be to hurry. Alot of places are out with none coming in for quite a while. This is according to Trent at Tilt amusements. I found a premium at flip n out, but I didn't ask how many more he had. Zach offers free shipping, ask him about tax. And yeah, I would suggest buying new based on what people are asking on the secondhand market
