265 euros plus vat 21% but you have to ship them so need to buy in volume. If I was buying one would take a punt at that price but I need 3.

The Laiv pinball machine looks cxxp, but it is cheap. I use only 3l, but they are about£500 including shipping.

Hello,

Yes Laiv pinball machines are cheap, but if I remember correctly they are plastic, hence why the price. Remember they have a low capacity only a small Beaver size hopper so if you're vending 32mm's b/balls I'd say a couple of hundred or less capacity. But if your site doesn't do more than that on a service cycle. Then machine sounds great.

Best bet to trial the machine, is get one from them at the London show (Laiv is normally there), order it before, they show it here in London ad you pick it up from them there on the Thursday. Go with cash (they'll send you the invoice after the show) and you pick it up without paying transport. If you contact them I'm pretty sure it can be arranged. This way you can trial the machine with little headaches.

Not sure about durability, as I know no-one who operates these machines here in Uk or in Spain or in Italy, as I have asked before as I was worried about competition on the price basis. But from the comments I got from other resellers is it's no competition as capacity is a problem.

From our chats, it didn't sound like you had capacity needs, so I'd say go for the punt. I'm sure you'd always get about £100 back from selling the machine on if it doesn't suit you.

Speak soon.
