Where in the world...

where are you guys getting these cheap vintage pachis? I am lookin' to get a few vintages, in addition to my newer age ones. But they are too expensive on a new venture, for me anyways! Everyone is saying how they get these for 10-20 bucks.. Where do you find these inexpensive machines??

Keep your eyes on Craigslist and thrift stores. Better to buy one you can see in person before making the purchase.

I would only purchase one off of ebay from a reputable seller who states it works. ("I have not tested the machine as working" means there are parts missing)

Be patient, you'll find one!

I got my first one from my dad. He brought it home from Okinowa. My second one I found on craigslist.com. Gotta just keep an eye out, you never know where your gonna find em!

I found my first one by accident at a garage sale. $15 My second and third ones came off of craig's list. Keep your eyes on Craig's list... unless of course you are in the South East Texas area... then don't bother.

keep an eye on the river, bet one or two have been tossed in there over the years!

haha, i can walk to the ohio in under 15 minutes from my house! right in newburgh indiana.. lol! too bad that there arent any pachis on craigslist down here, its just too small!

On craigslist in my area someone is selling 2 vintage pachinkos for $120. This seems kinda high? or is that the going price on some. Only comes with 50 balls. What do u think??

[luckydog]

it all depends on the condition and if they are working.

2 nice clean working machines may be worth that.

you might be able to offer less after you have seen them.

Pachinkos aren't too abundant here either (Orlando area). I haven't paid less than 50$ yet, but to me, it's worth it because I can have a month's worth of fun restoring them and a theme park only lasts about a half a day. But don't pay too much, theres someone trying to sell a dirty machine on ebay right now in unknown condition for $200. Don't be a sucker and remember to tack on an average of $55 for shipping.

hell, i have a couple id let go in the $50 range needing restoration,but complete and playing.
