Craigslist, eBay.com and other US
« on: January 13, 2015, 09:24:57 PM »
We do not have any dedicated topic for the interesting cabs published on US website.
Hope this one will help.


I start with COW, Lloyd told me there is hundreds of cabs coming in the next few days.
No list. Look at their facebook.

Saw the increased number of cool cabs. missed a dk3... kicked my butt.

one thing is really important though.... do you have a price for us for the shipping from coinop to the storage in france?
this would help a lot to calculate the costs for me.

Hi guys,

Haven't participated in the Valentin containers before.
But if I see a cabinet at COW's FaceBook I that l would love to have, can I just buy it and arrange shipping through a Valentin container like you guys do lately?

Thanks :)

In fact i'm asking myself a lot of questions with the containers and how it works. Valentin would you mind doing a little post with explanations on how it works?

About the container, the 2 basic rules are :
1. You buy and arrange the delivery to COW yourself
2. Container departs when full (even if it is 10 months later)

As for the cost of shipping. I tried to be as close as possible to what I used to pay with Thomas (meaning 300euro per cab).
Container will be there beginning of February, so soon I will have the final cost per cab but the target is pretty achieved (I encountered few problem such as going via Antwerp or the exchange rate increasing a bit).

What is pretty sure is that next container will be more expensive than this one because of the EUR/USD exchange rate.
Most of services are paid in USD. VAT at arrival depends on the value of the goods in euro, so stronger is the USD, stronger is the VAT  :(

.....VAT at arrival depends on the value of the goods .....

How do you, or customs establish the value of the goods? And based on actual individual item purchase price (I suppose that item purchase prices will vary a lot between buyers)?

just checked the ebay auction. the machine was sold on the 22. of december. in the text the seller qouted that he wanted to concentrate on pins. the seller on klov is a member of a pinball forum. sounds a bit strange if you ask me.
