Re: Going to USA to buy a pinball and going back to Canada? What to expect?
I don't think item 1. is totally correct.

I believe this would only apply if you were to ship to a depot close to the...

Re: Going to USA to buy a pinball and going back to Canada? What to expect?
1) have a receipt (mandatory) do not add the price you paid for shipping to the total only the price of the pinball. You don't get taxed on shipping fees. 2) pay the provinces' taxes rate 3) drive home and enjoy your pinball I don't think item 1. is totally correct. By law I believe the shipping co...

Re: Price check on a Gottlieb Airport?
Fairly typical for a late 60's Gottlieb .. fun factor doesn't seem to be there but under 400 if in good shape it's probably a buy in this market.

Re: Star Wars Pin
Not a great playing game .. it's been at EXPO a couple of times ... it is cool that a small Australian company got to make the title (and I'd love a chance to play some of the other Hankin titles) but if you are lookign for game play ... you won't find it here.
