shootar75 Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 (edited) Just imported a pin, cleared it through customs, picked it up from the depot. Driving home all excited, get home and open it up - wrong machine. WTF. Invoiced wrongly - my machine sent to melbourne and I got someone elses! Could of at least been a MM or loaded with coke :laugh: Hopefully it gets sorted, but disappointing way to start a weekend.:( Edited August 3, 2009 by shootar75 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AskJacob Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 bloody hell! I would have said it is funny, but I know how I'd have felt when I opened it up...:( Hopefully sorted for next weekend then... Cheers Jacob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMaloo Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 What pin was you supposed to get shootar and what one did you end up with ?? Have you heard from the person with the other wrong pin . If you both want your original purchases then I would say it's up to the original seller to pay for transport costs to swap them over . Their f@#k up so their cost to fix . Have to agree but ... If it was a MM or MB or something of high value I'd deny it all and hide it in the shed ..... right next to those ladders .. :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shootar75 Posted July 17, 2009 Author Share Posted July 17, 2009 what pin did they give u? Can't really say too much til it gets sorted....

Emailed the seller, just waiting to hear back from him. We'll work something out..... Running out of room in the shed.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Moderator Foot Posted July 17, 2009 Super Moderator Share Posted July 17, 2009 Leave it at my place, set up of course :D Bloody big disapointment, hope you sort it out quick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
humpalot Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 :lol had something similar happen to me once, only mine was a mistake on behalf of the transport company. They delivered the wrong machine and even thou I kept telling the driver it was the wrong machine he wouldn't believe me. it was quickly sorted, but I got to play someone else's machine for 2 weeks :cool: Hope everything turns out OK for you.

shootar75 Posted July 31, 2009 Author Share Posted July 31, 2009 phew, finally sorted. Didn't want to say too much until it all panned out. Anyways - bought a dirty harry pin from pauls 50's as I was getting frustrated looking for one in oz. Always wanted one asI love the theme so bit the bullet with a degree of apprehension due to buying a pin sight unseen in germany :o Did the deal pin arrived a couple of weeks ago, started to unwrap it, saw some cab throught the wrapping and thought - hmm that cab looks bluer than i remember dirty harry being. Unwrapped it some more and fuck me it's a funhouse!! Not bad, just not what i wanted. Apparently i got a guy in melbournes pin and he got mine - gave hima ring to let him know what had happened (he hadn't cleared his through customs yet) and let him know his funhouse was here and ok. Then got in contact with pauls 50's and they sorted it, freight company looked after everything so only put out from being teased with a pin. After all that the pin is better than I expected - playfield is a 9/10 easy so pretty happy! Cab 8/10. will post up some pics when i find my usb cable that is my junkyard that is myoffice.
