He has an ad on Pinside too
pinside.com
One of the photos has Stern pins NIB, if its not a bait and switch.
I have 5 acres, lots of room to store containers. Just sayin'.

We had a guy in Ottawa years ago that imported lots of games from overseas. Some were ok but most were not. Hacked to shit. Broken/missing mechs. I still say whoever buys this is in for a bad surprises on 30-50%(or worse) of the games in the sale.
170 games but only pics of 12 of them (less than 10% of what's offered). There's a red flag - in addition to the fact the seller has a less than stellar track record with these container sales. The list is just that... a list. Nothing states that ANY of these games are functional. Plausible deniability once the shit hits the fan
I also looked up shipping costs for a 40' container. I do not believe this includes the container:
"Ocean rates for Europe-to-Canada shipping are similar to rates from Europe to the US East Coast. In normal times, shipping a 40-foot container from Europe to Montreal or Halifax costs about $3,000 to $4,000. These days, the rate is more likely to be $8,000 to $9,000."

I believe you can do a lot more with $ 500k Canadian in your own pockets, than buying unseen
European pins in todays marketplace, and still have to deal with taxes, repairs and shipping

For the investment, a flight over to Italy before sending money would be in order and then watching them get loaded into the containers would also be prudent.

On Pinside a guy contacted the seller about the games:
I enquired about the 170 pins for sale. Here’s his response,
“New message from: mauriz75 (205TURQUOISE_STAR Star)
Hi we have all the 170 pinball machines but on Ebay it is an Advertisement.
You can buy 1, 5 , 10 or the ones you want
Best regards”
Somethings not riiiight here, fishy, I smell a weasel.

There was a guy from Quebec that use to get containers full of pins. I can't remember if he was on this site or MAACA.
