Hello, forum fellows

I hereby present to our community, this project that took nearly 5 years to get out of my head. I always thought to open an online store that will would be the best for the solar system. And with your help i will try to reach this goal.

The store is located in Lisbon, Portugal, and will devote themselves in the marketing of parts for the Pinball, but his organization has been designed to be able to be extended to many other areas of the amusement.

It's not in my plans have a range of products and services as extensive and complete as other stores that already exist, but I'll try that whenever commercialize any product is always one of the lowest prices of our Galaxy.

One of my motto's is that what matters, is not the number of customers, but their degree of satisfaction.

I also ask for your help in finding bugs in exchange for this site and your help and patience with the lapses that may exist or delays in delivery.

I request your special attention to the quality and lower prices of my Pinball Leds. If you don't appreciate the quality of the Leds i accept the return too.

After this long introduction I invite you to visit our online shop.

All the eshop's begin with all products available ? If its true i'm very bad indeed.

Sorry, but i'm not a rich man, i dont have money to have in stock 200.000 products of 5.000 different products, nor do I want to have.

I chose to start with one principal product (Pinball Leds), If you find pinball leds with this quality and with lower prices, you are the great.

I only open a eshop 1 month ago, and i'm waiting for several products for offer a large supply, i never want to have such a wide range as other stores, but only products of highest consumption.

But thanks for your visit and for your pleasant message.

You're welcome, please consider that I'm not licking anyone's heels here just because.
I'm honest and direct, that's the culture over here. I'm not a bad guy but I will say what I think. (that's what forums are for).

......but honestly, it's like walking into a supermarket with loads of empty racks and the only rack that is full is the bananas....if you want to start small that is of course absolutely fine but then just don't list all the other stuff that isn't there (yet)....just a suggestion of course, just my feelings...

I know nothing about pinball LEDs because IMHO they turn pinball machines into cold fridges but other people find them great so I hope you have a lot of succes with them and it is ALWAYS great to have new sellers in Europe, we badly need them, so don't take anything of this personally :)

2500€ for a dedicated Defender? I am against price policy... but this is heavy, man...
Looking for Dragons Lair 1 or 2, Space Ace, Double Dragon, Robotron and yeah... a Shinobi would be cool, too!

I think that i haven't to justify my prices, but...

This arcades are dedicated and Original. I buy this 2 from USA, and with shipping costs taxes and repairing/upgrade the total amount is near 4000/4500 € for both, yes i know that i probably make a bad business, but can i win same money in one of them ?

Thanks

Hi Baptiste. I hope that are all good with you.

As we talked in the past, and i always try to maintain you at current stage of repair, i spend more than 2 months to repair this arcade, and with this price (eshop) i lost near 1000 €, but i cant put the price higher than this.

My initial price for you are very similar 850 €.

Other bad deal, i think that never more buy one unworking arcade...

Is 100% working without any faults, i am in Lisbon, Portugal. Have only this problem, the language are in German, and if you want to change to other language its necessary to burn the roms.

@For all - Is not necessary to cry for me. In this Arcade i win money (with this price).

Perfectionist as I am, I tried to create an online store with the best and most complete possible organization, but as it bothers a lot of people.
I will hide menus that do not (yet) have products available.

Hopefully now the visitors do not get lost in my supermarket.

That could be an idea... We don't want an Overkill ;D ;D

you don't have to justify... i own a dedicated defender in a much better condition (as far as i can see on the pics) and i know the prices in the us... plus i do have a certain knowledge of importing from the us, repairing and restaurating. of course we have the luxury of Thomas helping us with this but i did not even pay one third of 2500 euros. just my two cents. i will keep quiet on the prices. it is indeed up to you and if somebody really wants a dedicated defender and is willing to pay the money... that's fine for me.

I know that the normal price is between 1500/2000, but i have only 2, and i prefer sell other machines that one Defender.

For me Defender, and the pinball Banzai Run (I have only 3) are precious, and who wants to have this precious have to pay the right to have one.

If same time ago one person that are in this forum too, request 1500 € for one incomplete xevious, why i can not ask for 2500 for one Defender ?
