Title: paul 50s bulk buy - round 2 ???
Post by: Superully on May 04, 2010, 10:07:33 PM
ok guys, just got word from paul who asked me to put this up here. his wish is my command  ;)

he told my that another container is on its way to germany: in it one last galaga, more mr & ms pac-man and - i quote - some other games (i've asked for more information of course). while that is not spectacular right now, he told me further that he has more games waiting to be shipped over, amongst them ASTEROIDS, CENTIPEDE, SPACE INVADERS and *drum roll* DONKEY KONG!!!

i'll keep in touch with him and as soon as news arrive, i'll let you guys know. perhaps we could enter round 2 of the bulk buy.

round 2! Sounds excellent.  ;D  I'm always interested in nice games, for nice prices. Let's hope that we can do another bulk deal real soon.  :)

I would love a second Nintendo cab.

Cool  :)

Few days ago, I've meet Paul... at Vierzon  8)  :arrow:

(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/meeting/vierzon2010/vierzon2010_day2_14.jpg)

I've discussed with him regarding the first bulk buy, and told him he did the perfect choice with MsPacMan, PacMan & Galaga cabinets... and I told him : For the love of God, we are all crying now for Nintendo cabinet ::)  :P
So please... Nintendo cab' for your next container  :-* And he says... OK  :-* :-* :-*

Of course, I'm up for one Ninty'  ::) 8)

I really hoped that Paul would make a move like this, after the success of the (Ms) PacMans bulk buy.
You can count me in for a DK cab, and I think Gyruss, who is at the moment in Japan where he is being called a 'otaku?' in the Japanese arcadehalls so he said, is also definately in. But I am first haha.

GREAT NEWS!!! :pac: :ghost: :ghost: :ghost:

and perhaps, if there is a nice Asteroids cabaret in it too, I know someone who is really interested in one.

Post by: gyruss on May 05, 2010, 07:18:23 PM
WOW!!, this is really great news!! Count me in for a Nintendo Cab, it doesnt matter which!!
Otherwise a Space Invaders or an other classic (galaga) would also be nice!

BTW Japan is fantastic!! I have visited 11 arcades, took 200 pictures and have still have two weeks left ;D ;D
Today was also a really nice day, I visited the Namco tower in kyoto and showed pictures of the pac man cabinets, the guys overhere went crazy!! So tomorrow when I visit a temple Ill do some praying for a Donkey Kong ;)

I:m going to drink some more Ashi beer and tease my girlfriend about her bad mario kart skills ;) ;)

Which games are you playing over there? SHMUPS? SF4? Did you try the Pachinko's? Please, pics, now, or it doesn't happen. Man, I'm jealous, I really want to go to Akihabara myself oneday. Laconia (US), Kyoto and Tokio are on my top 3 places still to visit. But my wife first wants to go to Paris! Boring!  :-\ Anyway, have fun and take care.


I'm looking forward to see some 100 Yen coins.  ;)

On topic: can't wait to get more details about Paul's cabs.

crusin wolrd
crusin exotica

well, i guess that's NOT what we are looking for, no word about the donkey kongs or asteroids - i'll ask him again. he told me further that if someone is interested in a special cab, he should forward his wishes to paul along with a max price and he'll see what he can do.

He won't sell much of those cabs I'm sure ! What a list of junk. Plus plenty of them already in Europe.

DK cabs are around 150 dollars in the US, maybe even cheaper now. (see this: http://forums.arcade-museum.com/showthread.php?t=132558&highlight=100+dollar)

It should be possible to get a DK for €300 in that case. The insanely dropping value of the Euro is not helping though (THANKS GREECE !  :evil: :evil: )

to be honest, i don't think that we're going to get a dk for 300. if we did, i'd take 6 at once for dk, dk2, dk3, dk jr., popeye and radarscope.  :)

Well not that I can help right now

....but If someones planning on Radarscope, I have a kit so to speak - pcb, control panel, bezel and marquee... I know the pcb is sick but the chip thats requires MB(something or other) is available form mikesarcade.com

I also think I have two nintendo power supplies kicking about too

Bah, never got behind that Nintendo hype. DK is great and an arcade milestone but thats about it, many of their arcade games are just average, plus the original cabs to me are not as appealing as for example Atari cabs. One design for all, slap some stickers on its side..., that's boring.
I can understand that US guys are really after them because they had them in their youth, but over here...?
But to each his own...
Title: Re: paul 50s bulk buy - round 2 ???
Post by: Ronald Reagan on May 07, 2010, 01:25:18 PM
I can understand what you are saying. If you think about it, it is quite easily manufactured like you said, one design, only different colors with stickers and a nice bezel and that's it. But for me personally, I like the comicstyle drawings on the bezel and the sideart & marquee, for instance on a Popeye or the DK Junior. But I will settle for a Burgertime too. I like those cabs so much, graphic-wise that is.

bruno is trying to get in touch with paul regarding those nintendo cabs because he already talked with him at the exhibition about it. let's see what he has to say ...

Thanks Superully  :-*

Yes, I'm waiting some answers from Paul about the best way to proceed.
In order to do an easy thing for him, let's focus our request to the famous Nintendo cabinet :  :arrow:

"...Ok, as I told you, you've done the perfect choice for your last arcade games import... Galaga and Ms Pac Man are real classic, almost impossible to find in Europe because these games were not imported at the time (in the 80's) in Europe...
Now, all members are "screaming" for ...NINTENDO cabinets ;-) 
The Nintendo cabinet can have three different colors as you can see on the following pictures (orange, blue or red) :

(http://img89.imageshack.us/img89/7161/radarscopeth6.jpg)
(Misteriddler picture  :-*)

The games for these cabinets are : Donkey Kong, Donkey Kong Junior, Donkey Kong 3, Popeye or RadarScope ... but most of us are not looking for a particular game or color... we just need a Nintendo Cabinet, The color does not matter ;-)
This Nintendo cabinet is the major request! I'm sure you'll sold them faster than light... like Ms PacMan or Galaga... do not hesitate to get them as much as possible ;-)
..."


Of course let's add some *wish list* games, but I suggest to not complicate the thing too much  8) The quicker...the simpler... the better  ;)
Title: Re: paul 50s bulk buy - round 2 ???
Post by: Ronald Reagan on May 08, 2010, 10:50:51 AM
haha great. I am excited already. I would love to own a Nintendo cab, especially DK or Popeye

Anyhow, I think I don't only speak for myself when you will add the following cabs to the 'wishlist'

-Q-Bert
-Burgertime

Post by: DarthNuno on May 12, 2010, 06:57:41 PM
Got a message from Paul :

He can buy 20 x complete Nintendo cabs but untested. He can offer the games from his warehouse for approx 650 -750 Euro each .

We can expect the same lot/quality then the Ms PacMan/Galaga cabinets... The price is honest in my opinion  :-*  (try to import *for example* a 300$ cab from USA... and see how much it'll cost you at the end...).
And If we organize a bulk deal, we *may* have a better price.  ;)

I know most of you would like to see pictures... full details and description... but we need to be fast of this, and don't spend to much time with details  ;)
Paul don't have the hand on these cabinets yet...and all these cabinets are probably not in the same spot for the moment... As you can guess, there are probably other intermediary guys in US involved... so let's do not  bother Paul with endless questions if possible. I know it's not the safest way to buy something, but it's like that for such items, in a bulk order like this.
Remember arcade cabinets is not the primary Paul's business. And he propose us this order ... on our request  :-*
But as most of us already done deals with Paul, I'm sure there won't be any problem  ;) Paul need a fast answer from us  8)
Let's only speak about Nintendo cabinets (these are the 'must have', even if we all have a 'wish list' that we may present to Paul too...):

Ok, so... I'm up for one vertical cabinet for sure, maybe two ;)

Here's the update  8)

Paul need to know as soon as possible the amount of Nintendo cab' to get for this bulk buy.

Here's the 'for sure' list so far :

Darth Nuno : 1
Muerto : 3
Ronald Reagan : 1
Kid : 1
Atarimania : 2

TOTAL is so far : 8 cabinets!

Regarding the price, the range will be as previously mentioned in the 650€ -750€ Euro each (probably depending the general condition for each cabinet), expect to pay more if you are not a part of this 'bulk buy' order!.

Message from Paul :

One picture form the mobile phone. no more pictures possible unfortunately  :arrow:

(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/forforum2/nintendos.jpg)

No Radar Scopes. There are a number of Donkey Kong, Donkey Kong Jr., Popeye and Mario Brother but I think the cabinets are blue on the Mario Brothers, and NO RTypes.  Probably can get you at least ten but not more than 14.

I can buy the games and we can make a deal, but we can not sell this games for the same price as the pacman/ms/galaga , sorry  this games are from an other dealer...


I'll ask to Paul what is the dead line for this order and also an approximative date for the delivery  ;)

I don't have the information yet Ully, but regarding the list of the actual buyers in the list (serious collectors or well know people here, previously got games from Paul,...) there should not be a problem  ;) I'll let you know what Paul will say about this.
Title: Re: paul 50s bulk buy - round 2 ???
Post by: Ronald Reagan on May 14, 2010, 07:10:09 PM
hmm, it's a pity he is asking this prices. I thought that the price you mentioned was his E-bay selling prices, just like he did with the Ms PacMans. I think it is quite a high price, but I also realize it is a lot of hassle and work to import those cabs. Is there a chance that if you/we will pull off the bulkdeal, we will get a more fair price??
Title: Re: paul 50s bulk buy - round 2 ???
Post by: DarthNuno on May 14, 2010, 07:33:53 PM
This is the price given by Paul. As he said in my previous post :

I can buy the games and we can make a deal, but we can not sell this games for the same price as the pacman/ms/galaga , sorry  this games are from an other dealer...

We *may* expect a small bargain, but before that (and like every deals), we have to agree a price or we won't go nowhere unfortunately.
Of course, I'm always in (who aren't?) for a better price, but I can tell you the price is very fair for such cabinets, almost impossible to catch here in Europe. You can wait & try to catch one cabinet cheaper, but you take the risk to never find it, or wait a long time...it's up to you.

The difference with the Pac/MsPac/Galaga bulk deals is : In the previous case, Paul got a good deals from US, Someone proposed him a bulk of Ms/PM/GLG... and he got them. It wasn't a request. In that case, we are asking us this specific games. Even in US, this cabinet is not the cheapest one. And at the end, Paul is the seller... he fixes the prices. We can jump or not.

Live update from Paul  ;) :

I think on monday . is deadline.
Delviertime i don`t know its depence from my container I think around 8-12 weeks. because its to late for  this container and its full. so we have enought space in the next container. We can buy a lot of other games and the shipping is faster :-)
the same package deal for the same price as the pac man are not possible sorry . we pay mor for this games and the shipping is more expensive....
Title: Re: paul 50s bulk buy - round 2 ???
Post by: Superully on May 14, 2010, 07:41:08 PM
i guess the price quote is too rich for my blood as well - especially atm. i would have been in for a couple of nintendos for the pac-price we got, but i'm afraid i'll have to pass on this offer - as difficult as it is and as much as i'd love to have an original nintendo cab!

i wish i would have been around when this deal went through:

(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/forforum/ebay/NintendoCab1Markplaats2.jpg)

(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/forforum/ebay/NintendoCab1Markplaats3.jpg)

i can see at least 7 nintendo cabs, a pole position, probably a xevious and more. the whole lot sold for 1800 euros  :o :o :o i wonder why noone jumped on that offer. something like that will probably NEVER happen again ...

I'm not in, sorry. Price is too steep for me. Esp. since they will need quite some work and parts and they're likely US built cabs.

OK, here's the next step of this order  8)

In order to validate your order, Paul's requesting a deposit of 250€ per cabinet. So this will be the assurance for Paul about the exact number of cabinet he'll be sure to sold immediately at the given price.
He'll use this payment method in order to set the order for selling the cabinet : I mean, the first who'll pay will be the first to choose its cabinet when they'll arrive. Of course, because all the members are not connected all the time to this board, he'll use in addition the order set following the answers given by interested members on this topic too. I know we are all gentlemen here, but this method will avoid any problem at this level  ;)

Now, because it involves money/business at this point, I (and my website) cannot take the responsibility to take money from other members personally and to guarantee 'officially' the transaction (I'm just a kind of 'coordinator' and I've nothing to win on that story, just help members here to catch a Nintendo cab' !). 
This point has to be done between the buyer and the seller.

So for the ones who are ready to order, just drop me a PM and I'll give you the payment details with Pauls.

Once again : we are ordering here NINTENDO cabinets, not a specific game (I've got a ton of message like 'I want a DK, or a RED one...)

Pauls cannot tell you know what will be the cabinet exactly.When he got games by a certain amount in US, he doesn't have the details for each cabinet... the deal is done for him like that! It's sad but it's like that for us then !
All we have now are the informations already given in the topic : "No Radar Scopes.  There are a number of Donkey Kongs, Donkey Kong Jrs., Popeyes and Mario Brothers but I think the cabinets are blue on the Mario Brothers, and NO RType" and the picture given previously :

(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/forforum2/nintendos.jpg)

I'm also waiting an approximative date for the availability of the cabinets and what would be the deadline for this bulk order.

And on a personal note : Thanks God, this 'bulk buy' concerns only members here or then it would be a true nightmare to follow  :roll: ... or I think I wouldn't do it!

Ok, I've just done my payment to Paul for one Nintendo cabinet.

hmm, dont want to sound nagging here, but I would not like to pay that amount of money for a MarioBros cab. I personally dont like that game.
I just wait for more info and pics. exciting times, for my bankaccount as well

Update  ;)

Here's the list of the person who requested me Paul's bank details and plan to pay him immediately the 250€ deposit without discussion :

- SuperUlly (Ully) for one cabinet
- Muerto (Michael) for three cabinets
- Thwocker (Marco) for one cabinet

...and me of course, so the total of cabinets reserved so far is six.

Paul will confirm me the good reception of the deposit of course.

An other think to clarify :  I presume they are some people who are contacting Paul directly for 'our' special Nintendo order  ::)
Here's my question to Paul about this point :

"Well, can you confirm me and the other members (who are in part of this order on my website) will be the first  to come, see and select the cabinets? It's logical and fair than the first who pay and take some risk will be the first on the line the D day ;-) This point is very important and is the basis of this bulk order (or then nobody would pay in advance of course).
I'm really pushing a lot of energy to keep this group order 'clean' and fair.
We are the initiator of this 'Nintendo' order after all...and so we must be the first in line  ;) Please confirm me this point"


 :arrow: Paul validated this point  :-*

I also told him this for information : "It looks like most of the members would prefer to have a 'vertical orientation monitor' cabinet, so if you can get a maximum of Donkey Kong, Donkey Kong Jr, Donkey Kong 3".
I wouldn't be to worried about this, because on the only picture we have, it seems to be 'the right one' ;)
But as explain already, and once again here : "Pauls cannot tell you know what will be the cabinet exactly.When he got games by a certain amount in US, he doesn't have the details for each cabinet...there are many intermediary persons in US... and the cabinets are coming from different place... He doesn't have the details. The deal is done for him like that! It's sad but it's like that for us then !".
Do not expect pictures or more description fast. He promises me as soon as he have more details, he'll give them to us... but this will happens probably not before several weeks.The estimate shipping time is approx 6 weeks. So now we have to be a little bit patient  ;)

Ok, now I guess you have all the data.  8)

question: if i pay the €250 deposit for one cab now, is there the chance to get another one once the container arrives or does paul import those nintendo cabs by the numbers we give him?

I think he's importing something like approx 10 cabinets... even if that number is not reserved. So, the D day,we *may* have the possibility to get more. But I'll ask him the question of course.

Guys, I wish you all good luck and a  lot of fun with this great bulk buy deal. chapeau Bruno for 'organizing' this.  :) After the ms. pac-man cabs, soon another batch of pretty rare cabs will be on European soil.  ;D I'm sure that we soon will see another series of great photo's of Nintendo cabs at Paul's place.

Although I will not participate, I will try to be there when you guys pick up your cabs (if you vpick them up that is), will be a little group meet, yeah. And I want to see those cabs also, must be awesome. :D

On a sidenote, I did contact Paul a few days ago and I asked him if his contactperson could get other cabs, which are on my wanted list. I got a pretty positive answer and Paul will let me know more soon. Would be great if more cabs could be shipped with the same container.

No problem, it's already not easy and very time consuming to manage the 'Nintendo Cabinet' bulk buy, so feel free to manager the others game that could be imported (but in a new topic please)  :-*

Oh, and please welcome Gyruss, just back from Japan, now in this 'bulk buy' order  :-*

So the list is now :

- Darth Nuno : 1 x
- SuperUlly (Ully) : 1 x
- Muerto (Michael) : 3 x
- Thwocker (Marco) : 1 x
- Atarimania (Franck) : 2 x
- Gyruss (Pieterf) 1x

I'm waiting a feed back from Ronald Regan  ;)

Congrats to all of you ! I wish I could jump aboard, but as mentioned the price is killing the fun for me...

I think you guys are likely going to need Nintendo real-flat T-molding (https://www.dragonslairfans.com/smfor/index.php?topic=1539.0) so don't forget, MAYBE I can still add some more to the European bulk order !
