    Default another Noob question about Starwars

    I can get a Starwars pachinko, but the seller asks €350 for it, that amounts to about 500 dollars. Is that a fair price ?

    Why is this machine more expensive than others I have seen ?

    $500 . . . wow. Chris is selling his for $225. But the shipping would be a killer.

    The COST = Star Wars, not something like dog heaven

    An easier way to look at it as THEME equals cost

    There are only a few sellers here in the US and the cheapest price is $379 including shipping which is what I paid. The others are $399 plus shipping.

    Star Wars does seem to hold it's price, and if you like the Theme, then it is one amazing must-have Pachinko.

    Bought mine June 2006 for £295 GBP delivered but it was in a cabinet and in excellent condition,
    you have to bear in mind conditon as well as Theme, and factor in your shipping costs too...

    The Garfield Pachinko is extremely hard to find,
    but if you manage to track one down, it's fantastic fun to play...

    I bought my Star Wars about 6 months ago for $300 shipped, which was a little better than average at the time. Since then I've seen fewer listings and prices starting at $350-$399, not including the shipping cost!

    It looks like the supply of Star Wars machines has dried up for now and prices will be higher. Hopefully this is only temporary.

    Just got one over the weekend... Insanely loud (what else is new), but it is surprisingly entertaining... I love watching Garfield pound the little button above the screen...

    BTW, is there a volume setting at all on this? I don't see a switch or anything... Fortunately my other two have volume controls installed... That has to be my first mod to Garfield. My ears still hurt...

    If you get the Starwars from a seller in Oss I can truely recommend him. We got both our machines (horror mansion and Hanamankai) there and it are good clean machines + friendly and professional information.

    I feel a little guilty (ok, not really) to report that I paid $100 for my Star Wars. Have I mentioned how much I miss the good old SSlot auctions, lately?
