Quoted from Pinchroma:I can confirm these games did NOT come directly from JJP. He isn't a distrib.
Buy with caution.
So if he buys from a distributor and resells it NIB, is there any chance that JJP won't support the machine if there are consumer warranty issues?
Quoted from scottc:yeah yeah but how is the pizza?????
Excellent. I' ve stopped in for pinball and food there before when I used to travel to Omaha & David City for work.
Quoted from Pinchroma:And I can't wait for them to register their games
Last I checked "benepinball" wasn't a distrib in the list and its a required field
"Received as gift" It was from my long lost Uncle Hector. He does not want to tell me where he bought it from to prevent me from finding out how much he paid for it. Fortunately most States have Laws that require a manufacturer's warranty to be honored regardless of transfer.
Quoted from lowepg:You're obviously not a REAL wozzer unless you tied up your money for 2+ yrs ahead of getting delivery.... And then praying to the gods each day for "the call"
Funniest groupies EVER.... Owning one isn't enough, you need to have been an undoubting evangelist as well... Also, one must divulge INTENT whenever trying to sell one or buy one outside the approved church, er JJP, methods.
The journey is the reward.
Quoted from GaryMartin:All right, all right, I will 'fess up. One of them is coming to me. My good friend Steve Sohl in KC snagged two of them and I'll be driving up to Omaha Monday to pick up the second. (He's going to get his on Sunday)
Seriously folks, what the hell is with all the freakin drama over this? A Distributor got in some standard WOZes. Benep helped him get them sold. There's nothing to accost Benep about over this. If you want to complain about someone getting a WOZ ahead of those that have been waiting, well that conversation needs to be directed at Jack, not the distributors. *shrug*
I'll post back after I pick mine up Monday.
P.S. I wasn't really planning to get one yet, but heck, Omaha is a just a few hours from Lawrence KS and the price is good. Couldn't pass it up.
Congrats on your new WoZ machine and thanks for proving wrong the old pinballsalesdotcom "First to pay is first to play" rumor. Even better than when the op I worked for would send our truck to Cleveland, Buffalo and even Carlstadt to get new pins (Meteor's and Gorgar's) since the local guys could not supply them. First to use their imagination are first to get the games.
The manufacturer's "protected territories" were completely unenforceable. I remember when old Hank Heiser (Empire Distributing/Bally Midwest/Cartel/Empire Amusement) said he would not sell us parts unless we had an invoice from his distributorship showing we bought the game from him. Our attorney contacted the various manufacturers with this information and he quickly called us to say it was just a big "misunderstanding".
Quoted from DCFAN:$6750? It was supposed to be $6995.
Pinside Special.
Quoted from cal50:No damper.....now some are interested when he ordered.......
Let's see how fast Alex posts that information.
Quoted from PW79:Looks like you have the first WOZ in MO
Congrats
Even if you are a Royals fan
Almost 30 years ago to the day, this clip, courtesy of all-around nice guy Billy Martin waiting until the right moment to use his *information* never gets old. Great to watch but especially when Brett went berzerk at 2:40 is priceless.
Quoted from cal50:I doubt any roid's were on his mind during the video clip above.
His personal issue took place a few years later. I recall radio deejays and Johnny Carson having fun with it.
Quoted from Pinchroma:So much so that they are the winningest team in pro sports.
With all due respect to the Yankees' historical record, I will not start any arguements with you about baseball teams.
Quoted from balbers:I'm not a Yankee fan, but I have no room to argue. The Royals haven't been back to the playoffs since winning it all back in 1985. :/
I do have the DVD collection of that I-70 World Series matchup. Close games (at least the first 6) with great pitching from both sides.
Back when there was still an exit for Times Beach. Alas it was already unmarked and the town was emptied. But, I-44, not I-70 so never mind.
