    Default Want a machine but i'm in the UK

    Hi

    Been reading this great forum for a couple of days and I'm dying to get my hands on a Jet Set Radio or a Beast Sapp machine but all I can find is one guy on EbayUK who is charging near triple the price you pay in the states.

    I did email a EbayUS seller but the shipping was $250 + local taxes which means importing out of the question.

    So does anyone know of any other places in the UK other the guy on Ebay? I've noticed some UK members on here so could you tell me where you got the machines from?

    I have some Jet Set Radios arriving in the UK on the first week of September and they will be priced at £80.00 - £90.00 sorry about the Beast Sapp being so expensive the next batch will be a lot cheaper i promise...

    Thanks

    It does look to be the daddy machine . A mate was going to lend me the money for the beast sapp machine when I showed him the videos and he hates fruit machines

    Its a shame you had to pay over the odds I hope you at least get your money back. It does dump on the UK machines from a great height and looks a hell of a lot cooler.

    I want the JSR for the super cool music though

    Its VAT on the machine + duty charged by UK customs it's roughly 22%.

    The machine went in the end for $110 (£65) then I would have to pay on top
    Shipping $250 (£140)
    VAT & duty $27 (£15)
    Carrier customs charge collection fee charge roughly $27 (£15)

    Grand total $414 (£235) approx.

    Have imported loads of things in the past from all over the world but this was going to be the most costly by far

    There are several new suppliers in the UK to help the supply, with ourselves being one very soon. Ill send you a personal message with our list of machines soon.

    In the mean time ive altered your avatar to avoid custom charges from the US.

    At least it's more chance of being delivered to the correct street than Doodude with Fedex.

    Hey takuly...The Beast Sapp machine is one of the best machines that I own (Go to the museum and read my review on it.) I can understand that you want to find a machine for cheap, but I liked the machine so much that I would shell out $414.00 for it. It has many MANY entertaining scenes and it doesn't get boring. It's also comical. If you get one let me know what you think of it.

    Now I know you can't be talking about PachiTalk, because we do not sell machines.
    What we are is a support forum, we help you deal with your addiction by showing you more ways to collect these Japanese marvels.

    PachisloUK - I note that your location is "Northern UK" - can you give me a hint where (I'm not going to rob you) - Its just I live in Wigan and was wondering if I would be within easy driving distance.

    es I got one from Milt some time back, it is a kick of a machine, you catch yourself dancing to the music. The whole system is really nice, good sound quilty and the large screen alway draws people to it.
    I would rate this in my top 15 machines if I was still into pachislot. But in my old age, I have become a ball man.

    Those little orbs of wonder
    … A little ArBy True-ism…

    They don't wash well in the washing machine, the wife has promised to gilled me if I leave any more in my pockets.

    Smile Re: Want a machine but i'm in the UK

    Sure pal, I'm not to far away, I'm just looking for the right premises at the moment. Personally, Im looking near Crewe or nearer to Manchester at the moment. But definately a little south of Manchester. Ill update up when everything is ready. Definately within driving distance for you, and no doubt you'd be a regular customer and would deserve a discount. You could even move in for the weekend and play all night when its ready if you like!

    Thanks - just need to convince the missus that I need a pachinko now.
    I think I can just squeeze one in next to my Beast Sapp - but it'll have to be a good one as it'll probably be the only one I can have .....(famous last words).

    I've gone from looking jealously at machines that I could never import, to finally owning one and soon I'll be within driving distance of a supplier, all in just a few short months... now if only my house was bigger.
