    Looking to buy a game from Australia. I would greatly appreciate any advice on local companies to wrap, pallet and ship. Also any experience with import issues, tariffs, VAT, etc.

    Grateful for any guidance.....

    Find it in America? After you pay to ship, wait a month or more if going by water and if it makes it in one piece it has to be a one of a kind to even do it.

    No, Spinal tap or Thunderbirds is not worth that level of effort…

    Cointaker said they could lend an assist. I feel pretty good about their team.

    what game are you after?

    and where from as games here are slim pickings - make sure not a scam as we have a site called GumTree and it often has scammers wanting to sell a pinball.

    Apparently you dont have to worry about getting it out of a basement in Australia

    Only 350 every made and Hankin were a Newcastle company, the boards are a issue but I think Homepin has started to reproduce some of those.

    basements are not a common thing but houses built on steep blocks are, so moving pins up and down stairs is still a thing.
