Just a little consumer alert. There are a few internet sites

that have taken the liberty to advertise the Bonzini product line.

Bonzini U.S.A. is the exclusive distributor for Bonzini France.

Most of these sites are hoping for a quick mark-up and drop

shipment sell from my company. This will not happen. Bonzini U.S.A

has a number of registered showroom table dealers but no other

internet company has permission from us to advertise the Bonzini line.

Imitations of the Bonzini are still being sold in the U.S. These models

have been deemed fradulent copies by the French court. We are watching

this situation carefully in the U.S. Bonzini U.S.A. is player owned

and operated. Everyone on our staff remembers how the players were

neglected by the distributors and manufacturers of this style table in

the past. Bonzini U.S.A. caters to the players and operators who have

weathered the hardships of high table and maintenance cost with no

promotional tournament support for the players. Profit from home and

commercial sells go to increasing inventory and producing promotional

tournament events. We offer the highest quality French manufactured

table-soccer game on the market today. We were chosen by Men's Journal

Magazine as one of the top 90 best-designed products available on the

U.S. market(Sept. Issue p.159) We were chosen the #1 table in the world

by Stuff Magazine ( UK Dec.99 Issue). Our player base is proud of the

fact that in 2 short years we have gone from no tournaments ( maybe

$500 given away in 2 states) to a $12,000.00 Mid-Atlantic Foosball

Tour. This is being done by our players. Bonzini France has given us a

unique oppportunity, as players, to establish the Bonzini product line

for operators and individuals who chose to play this style. It is a

responsibility my company and our players take seriously and have great

excitement about. Our tournament events are focused to entertain and

reward excellence of play for players who haven dedicated time and

money to this wonderful game. I, personally, enjoy all style of tables

in the U.S. I helped create Bonzini U.S.A. to serve the "niche" market

that exsist in the U.S. It is definately a "buyer beware" foosball

market. Please visit us at http://www.bonziniusa.com for more info

about our company, its focus, and events.
