There may also be tax I’ll have to account for at the end of the year.

Went ahead and created a Pirateship account. Holy cow what a price savings. Here is to the UK or the Netherlands via UPS vs the $250 I was quoted at the store… Japan just a few dollars more. Australia around $70usd w/tracking and $100 insurance via UPS versus the $250 I was quoted at the store...

Panel will ship with the original cardboard strip… As I received it direct from Taito 21+ years ago.

For anyone considering submitting a bid, I stopped by the UPS store today and wanted to clarify: US shipping is $30usd via USPS International shipping is $115usd via USPS - probably about 3 week timeframe Or a whopping $250 via UPS - within a week. Can’t envision anyone opting for this...

Thanks guys. I don’t sell and ship often so am not aware of the ins and outs. Appreciate the suggestions and will check it out :)

For those that have inquired regarding international shipping, I believe it’s mentioned in the listing (yes) I will ship overseas at additional cost above the $30 flat rate, but I need to check what that extra cost might be. Will visit the UPS store, USPS and /or FEDEX tonight or tomorrow to...

Thank you for the well wishes fellas. Auction ends Wednesday night.

Am surprised this hasn't been snapped up already. Great game. GLWS!

Not interested in selling for that amount, but thank you for the offer.

Thank you. Wayfair has them in different sizes and the option for wood or aluminum frame. They also sell the plastic letters, but you will have to buy enough sets to have an adequate amount of high usage letters such as E’s etc. It was also abit of a pain to file off the dingleberries left over...

Here are some close up photos per request. The backside is completely smooth. The front graphics have a small amount of texture, like what is found on the original marquee I have installed on my 2nd Egret 2.

@XtraSmiley, Yes I did start it at $700. No one is forced to bid if don’t like what it’s listed for. And yes, didn’t want to stress about selling something that doesn’t come up for sale often for too low an amount (if I could have gotten more for it) or asking for what I think it could fetch...

@XtraSmiley an expected response had I listed an outright sales price. (Which would have been more than the starting bid) If it sells for $700, after eBay fees and shipping… that would leave me with around $600… Which I believe is fair, for a rare sought after item with no recent comparable...

Hello, I’ve listed (1) NOS original TAITO Egret 2 Illumination marquee panel on EBay if anyone is interested. Didn’t want to stress over selling too low or too high, so am auctioning it...

Matsu is a legend. An ATG for the hobby and an even better person. He’s doing well and recently helped me smuggle a game into my gameroom past the missus haha
