Pachinko business - update

[Gadgetguy]

Hello all,

despite all the potential challenges I have decided that I will try to resell pachi machines (part time).

I have found a reasonable shipping solution (by sea), in which I am not forced to order by the container.

My first order would be 10 machines or so, followed by larger orders, depending on how fast the first 10 sell.

My challenge at this stage is to find a good supplier. I have found some who can offer machines at OK prices, but the models are mixed, and mainly not too interesting.

As demonstrated by slot-pachinko, Dragonfly and others, it IS possible to import only interesting machines...

But how? Would anyone have any ideas / advice?

One option is to partner up with an existing company, and I have contacted Dragonfly for that (maybe he is interested in setting up Dragonfly North-America)?

What are other options, to access new, interesting machines at a cost which allows me to resell for $300 - $400 to the general public (and of course at lower price to Pachitalk members)?

Thank you again for any ideas!

Cheers,

Miklos

I think you have come up against what all good people eventually realize.

It is an enormous challenge to offer great/new/interesting/clean machines, good prices, fast reliable shipping, good customer service, and make money. Of course... if you can do without the makikng money bit ... you will become a Pachinko HERO, after which we will duly enshrine you among the Pachinko "greats" (you all know who you are) that came before you.
