What does he mean with "stick with me" if he doesn't want to ship them ? I don't understand really, a monitor box is well constructed and will survive shipping.

About the number of monitors in one container..........it depends if it's a 20' or a 40' container ;) ;) ;)

I worked for a Taiwanese (computer) monitor manufacturer for one year. Regular sizes then were 14" and 15". We ordered by the container but although I'm hurting my brain, I can't remember how many would fit in a 20'

I think it was a couple of hundred for the 14 and 15"es.....

We also had 19" but those were very rarely sold....

But man, would we have nice roadtrip pics ! ;)

And I've done "worse"......

Over 750 km's to pick up the Missile Command cabaret..... (and I'm not counting the extra 120 km's to visit "Speleo" (Andreas from www.andysarcade.de). We made a great long weekend of it with the family and visited Munchen "in between".
Probably the roadtrip with the most arcade unrelated pictures. I never published them because they are more a "family trip" series than a "roadtrip" series.

If I had the finance for, let's say, 10 of these monitors, I'd probably do it. What exactly is the reason why Fred doesn't ship them ? Bad experiences with sending them ? Or simply too expensive ?

I just looked at fedex for you ,

assuming a package from linkoping-sweden to copenhagen-denmark with size 50x50x50 cm at 20 KG will cost like 215€

so the shipping is the same cost as the monitor if you go with fedex  :-\

I would suggest to make a nice roadtrip  ;D

+1  ;)

Maybe there are some nice places to visit around the seller's location? You can combine this trip with a nice visit of something?

...so "ArcadeLifeStyle" it would be...  ::) ;D ;D ;D

Man, for that cost it should be possible to transport a complete pallet from Sweden to Denmark. Fedex and the like are usually not the companies to go with for this kind of traffic.

Yep, that's what I meant. Pretty good price IMHO.

Did they ship the ROTJ on a pallet ?

Wow...180€!  it's almost less expensive than doing a 'UK Road Trip' (tm)  :roll: ... and specially for a cockpit, that requires a trailer or a van...
