I know the CPR guys and I have been encouraged to keep the Canuck spirit alive and possibly benefit some fellow Canadian pinheads on this side of the border! Some of you may have seen my mats on Ebay, as I have been selling them on and off (as they get made and sold out) for about a year now. Little did I know that something me and my buddies wanted for OUR games rooms would become so popular worldwide. My mats have appeared in GameRoom magazine, sitting on the floor in front of several pins in Kent Kenyon's "GameRoom of the Month". Somewhat of a cool "pinball mod", the guys with the big games rooms have been flocking to get one for every machine they own. But that doesn't leave out the guys with 1-5 pins, either!
Similar to seeing Bridge Rectifier offers on here, guys pooling on a list, building up a nice big order... I thought I'd strike a deal with MAACA people because shipping in Canada is really cheap, allowing you to pile on the mats without the shipping costs going through the roof.
I do runs of these 20 at a time at the shop I use. I am willing to give a package deal to move some sitting stock, and create a reason to re-run some titles that are getting low or sold out. If MAACA people can benefit from this, I'm totally game in making a nice package offer to the group. I sell these for $30 US Dollars typically, individually. Some guys do the large package deals at the flat $20 US Dollars per piece. But I'm going to go one better for MAACA... I'm going to take CAD at par, plus allow savings gates even LOWER...
My offer is $20 Canadian Dollars (not USD) per mat, shipping included, for minimum 10 mats in the MAACA order... but I have a feeling that should be no problem... The price drops to $19 CAD per mat if 20 mats are ordered... The price drops to $18 CAD per mat if 30 mats are ordered... If MAACA reaches 40+ mats in their order, I will sell each mat for $17 CAD. I cover shipping no matter what the deal.... shipping is considered INCLUDED.
People can get on here, committ to the mats they want here in the forum, and TELL YOUR FRIENDS this is going on... In 2-3 weeks, a conclusion can be made of what total mats are wanted, then somebody can step up to the plate to be the payer/distributor for the load. I will ship directly to that one drop point, and MAACA members can distribute amongst themselves.
THE WEB SITE FOR ALL THE PHOTOS is http://konker.tripod.com
You can select even ones that may be marked "Sold Out" because I will have those re-run to satisfy the MAACA order !! ELVIS, POTC, and MONOPOLY are not included at the web site, but I WILL RUN THEM if you want them in the MAACA load... so mention them if you want them. I also have BALLY and WILLIAMS classic logo mats for generic use, also not photo'd at the web site.

OK....Shadow, Roadshow, Funhouse, Twilight Zone, and Attack from Mars for me....maybe this will encourage me to actually keep some machines for a change!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well guys, people have posted their wants... here is the tally so far....

For a grand total of: 23 mats (gate met for $19 CAD ea. shipping included)
Anyone else jumping in? Seven more takes it to the 30 gate, taking $30 off the entire load ($1 per mat saved when the price drops to $18 ea.)
We'll keep watching and do another tally in 5-7 days. Anybody stepping up to the plate to perform the PayPal purchase and be the drop ship destination?

Looks like 30 mats have been met... I have had an offer for somebody to be the drop ship destination... but is not able to pay for the shipment.
It is entirely possible to have the mats arriving on the 18th or 19th for the meeting. Shipping transit should only take 4-5 business days, so they could leave by monday the 13th and be fine.
30 mats @ $18 CAD = $540 CAD (shipping included)
Somebody's gotta step up with a PayPal account, or this just doesn't work
And whoever pays, they are getting the drop shipment of course...heck, there's no risk anyway, because you can sell them on Ebay for $20-$30 USD EACH if all the MAACA members who made requests, back out on reimbursing you...
So did anybody come through as the banker for this?
I sent him a message a few days ago saying I would take care of it. Have not heard anything back... I might not be the best guy for it though, I won't be at the next meeting. I'm sure I can find someone who will be there to deliver any mats that are paid for *before* the meeting
Okay .. I was considering fronting the money for a 'are you sure .. sure ... yes I am Confirmed' list. But we will see what happens on your end. Let us know. He would need to ship on mon/tue to make sure they get to your handler for the meeting.
i pm him awhile back... no answer yet. So, dunno if someone already paid, or no, or what. pin mats last visit was on "Monday, November 13th, 2006, 15:58:38" .. . so no idea what's going on
