it's an expression! i don't know this guy from anywhere and he comes and says i am someone else!!!

Now going to what matters my X0 is going to Duncan finaly since i don't find anyone in Europe. $1000 dollars for shipping (2 ways)

how is it going to be that much? are you sending it express?

i don't own that player and i know that player is heavy but is it over 60 pounds?
when i check on usps.com they say from here to france 60 pounds
will cost 227 express and 156 priority.

i've sent lots of things to france using priority with no trouble, large guitars and such.

so try and check some other way, unless it's going to be more on your end?

Depending how it's packed it's going to weigh 72 to 75 pounds
And at some point it has to go on a plane which adds $$$ to the cost. HEAVY stuff going overseas (or even to Hawaii) is a pain in the wallet

ah, according to the website postal limit is 70, you can ship heavier but must pay more
so that's what the surchage is.
this is a lesson, if you love LD make sure your player is under 70 pounds so it can ship cheaper

it may be the best player, but if it costs that much to ship it may not be worth it from overseas
or even here.

My back usually screams "it's not worth the risk"

I did a fully double boxed with all the care possible. My back HURT SO MUCH!!!!

But i believe my investment in shipping is worth Duncan work. s**t now that i am posting this i forgot!!! Duncan i forgot to put cables and remote Should i open again and put the remote?

I had the chance to sell this player for 4k like it was but i just couldnt stand it, i love it, its my vintage baby

Duncan i would send it to you directly and you could do the same to me, but i want to save you from going to customs and loose your time. I don't know what is going to hapen but i will prey!

My friemnd home town is very near me here in France and he is sending a container before Christmas and i just spoke to him and he can fit it in there so i save $$$$$$

i would have taken the 4 and ran, my back would have also been happy also.

i've had some great heavy stuff, but i'm even happier without it and without back troubles so far

got rid of my arcade machines, pinball, large guitar amplifier, PR-7820 and more.
i think that's about close to 1500 lbs that i lost

also, for a grand wouldn't it be cheaper to fly duncan to you

No Rein, in this case i will only spend about $500 and my friend offers me the shipping back EHEH!

Ric has ofer me 4k for the player, but i had to wait for the cash a bit and i hate to see it go anyWay, so LETS FIX THE SUCKER AND TAKE THE JUICE OUT OF IT FOR MORE AND MORE YEARS

MAN I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE A PINBALL MACHINE Why did ou sold it? CLASSIC!!!! So vintage!!

it was the incredible hulk pinball from the late 1970s.
great working but heavy, i was moving and had too much stuff.
also if you do ever get one, you play it non stop for the first 2-3 months and then it's a large table.
it was covered in papers and other stuff, it was just not worth it.

500 is better than 1000 for shipping
good luck with it.

That is so nice Rein, i would love to have the experience to have it at home.

If i knew what i know these days an x0 wouldnt be an option, as it costs too much to fix when it has problems. with todays processors a good player like CLD97 or CLD99 or even the S9 or X9 at most would be awsome.
But now that i have it and i like it i'll maintain it to the end.

No cables and no remote please, just the player

I lost about 150 pounds when I divorced wife number one
But it cost me WAY more than a grand

LOL It hapens, and there are lots of women in this world.

Hey no remote is good! Ufff You save me a bunch of work Duncan!
When you get it and finish it and ship it out to my friend again please double box it also carefuly again and i don't want to push him too much, its a special favor he is doing to me, and i dont want to abuse the situation if you know what i mean. I prefer to pay you the work.
To pay you i might send the money to him and he sends to your account or something, we work that.

is it me or does this sounds iffy....

just does not at up at all

who's back?

so what happened, did you get your player sent?
want to know, keep us posted.

Well, I ain't heard squat
