JERSEY JACK PINBALL
smartbomb2084:
Here is an interesting bit of information for you...

pinballjim:
This is the same guy that was all, "yeah, I'm not making as much money on those Lord of the Rings as I want to, so you all have to pay an extra $500. And if you post about this on rec.games.pinball I'll cancel your order." Still manages to have a personality cult on there, though.
Be interesting to see what happens...
Jeff AMN:
I didn't know the extra $500 was just to give him a bigger cut. Sheesh, that seems a bit high. $100 I could understand, but $500 is a huge mark up.
pinballjim:
Looks like it was $400....
From RGP:
> Greetings:
> Next week we expect Stern to start shipping our LOTR LE games.
> Due to a price increase way beyond our control we need to get $5399.00
> for each game plus shipping.
> I cannot absorb the increase and I understand that this has been a
> long time in the order-build process. We have already advanced money
> to Stern so they had money to build these games. If you are still in
> and want the game....e mail me back and you will get your game after
> payment of your balance in full.
> If you want out, we will refund your money. If you post this on RGP
> your order will be cancelled and your money will be refunded as this
> is between us and not the whole world.
> Either way, this has been too long, too much time and effort for
> absolutely no money to our company. This really turned into a big
> favor that I'm happy to do to bring the game to our customers. Our
> competitors made plenty of money off of our backs on this title. I
> hope you enjoy the game if you decide to stay in, but this is not
> something that I will do again with Stern.
> I need to know by this Sunday Night at 8 PM Eastern Time either way.
> please e mail me at j...@pinballsales.com or pinballsa...@aol.com. If

Jeff AMN:
I got that notice and that's actually when I canceled my preorder. The way it's worded makes it look like Stern raised the cost on him, not him raising cost on the customer. That's pretty sneaky, man.
