<DIV>Yes, below you have a total (cut and pasted between the
"-----") of $1535.</DIV>
<DIV>I imagine this is to my door.  The bad news is I
am going to be moving soon:~(</DIV>
<DIV>But just down the street, so I do not want to have this
in my house and then</DIV>
<DIV>have to move this thing (and some dumb mover bangs it
around).</DIV>
<DIV>SO I am going to give you a $200 deposit with a target
date around End of March</DIV>
<DIV>or most likely mid April if that's OK.  This is
why I wanted to pay the deposit, to let</DIV>
<DIV>you know "I want the game"  I even have a space
carved out for it.  I also have</DIV>
<DIV>a UPS for it.  Which reminds me.  Because of
the top scores and all...  With the X-Y</DIV>
<DIV>as temperamental as they are - is it advisable NOT to
leave the game on 24X7?</DIV>
<DIV>Or is there a remedy to this (as not to lose the top
scores all the time)</DIV>
<DIV>------------------</DIV>
<DIV>The price of $1535 is the cost in US$ easier for you to
work with, hence it is the pricing on our site...</DIV>

 PM To: Lee, Trever Subject: RE: Tempest U/R Arcade
 game </DIV>Hi Lee! Well, if you want to send a bank draft
 they are OK, as long as they are cashable outside of the USA. That's the
 'International' bit, some money orders can't be. The Post Office for example
 has both domestic and International Money Orders and our banks here won't
 accept the domestic version. That's often why folks just use a credit
 card...did we ever work out the freight part of this
 transaction??? John :-#)# At 12:33 PM 02/03/2001, you wrote:

 and the guy who mows my lawn.   It took me a long time just to
 find this last Email!!!! - So do you feel comfortable with a
 (pre-paid) check or would you like to do a Visa/ MC instead?

 <DD>Now I am confused.  International???
 <DD>Don't know.  It's like writing a check.  Except when YOU
 write a check - it has to be cashed.
 <DD>Once it's cashed, the money then comes out of the
 account.
 <DD>With online checking - I write a check - the money comes out 1st and
 backs the check JUST LIKE a money order.  Then it get
 sent.
 <DD>If this thing HAS to be international - we can
 <DD>just do the MC/Visa, because I do not know.

 <DD>Oh,

 (doesn't have to clear like a regular check)!
 <DD> 
 <DD>I will use TrevLee-Tempest as the "account code" - I do this
 because it's safe, quick and NOTHING has to clear.  Plus it's
 cash so there's no VISA/MC charge!!!

 <DD>Hi Lee! 
 <DD>U/R means UpRight. Sorry for being cryptic. Are you near San
 Francisco? Thanks for the file info, I'll check them all out. I've
 tried a couple but they don't find the temp. 
 <DD>Shipping and customs looks like it is $200US, boxing up is
 $40US and the game is $1295US. Total $1535US. VISA, M/C, AMEX or
 International Money Order. Non-refundable deposit of $200US will
 hold it.

 <DD>Hi Trevor! 
 <DD>We are located in Vancouver, BC, Canada. Where is 95630?
 CA? Boxing up is
 <DD>$40US, shipping to CA usually adds $175 - $225US to the
 price (including
 <DD>customs in most cases). Our phone numbers are in the
 bottom of this message. 
 <DD>The Upright is nicely restored, but has the reproduction
 Tempest overlay
 <DD>with the typo error "Shootiing" on the instructions for
 the Pulsars. Not
 <DD>very noticeable...
 <DD>$500US deposit would hold it to early Feb. We do take
 major credit cards
