    Default Sticker shock!

    Our company just moved about 8 miles, and their is a vendor; Walton Distributing, in Sharonville (Cincinnati) right down the street. I went in out of curiosity, and he has a number of US slots like Double Diamond, for about $2500, and US pinball machines from $1500-4500. All a bit pricey, but what really shocked me were his two pachislos. He had Hello Santa and Terminator both priced at $895!

    Some people may be convinced that those prices are bargains because they don't know the going rate. We must educate the masses!!!!!

    They see the US slots going for over a grand, so 895 is a bargin.

    This is my personal opinion, or of the voices in my head, and are not meant to reflect the opinion of this board.

    Wow that is high! some people don't know what things are worth, or too $$$$ to care. A small exclusive billiard shop in Allendale charges about twice what anyone can get on ebay.

    Do they really want to sell them, or is that place considered a museum?
    Check my member page here or...

    Temporarily, go to youtube.com and search for BudgeRahe for videos. Until I get the links set up in the museum

    I live in the area and I know that Walton is a rip off. Here's a place I just found yesterday. The place and the owner are great. I'm probably going back this week to pick up one.

    just came back from Holland, Mi, Reliable sports has Bingo, Thunderbirds, Sinbad, Automatic, etc on sale for $200 US.
    sticker price is $199 non LCD and $299 with LCD normally. The real kick in th teeth The local kids stole the keys, door and reset on most and only selling with 200 tokens.
    I showed the store manager how to open the sinbad without a key and played it for a few minutes I am tempted to get the neo magic Pulsar for my mom, I can pay for it at the Hollad store and pick it up from the Standale store, it would irritate the local store manager in Standale because I already tried to talk a deal with him, He would not budge a penny, nor a token.

    I don't think he will be selling many machines without the keys.

    Just 4 Fun has been around a while; looks like he has recently re-vamped his web site. He is also selling wholesale as Daca Vending.

    There is the process of remodeling their store also. Unfortunately the website doesn't list an accurate inventory of his machines.
