New to the Board with Too many machines!

[Sid]

Welcome Aboard!

Sorry to hear about your machine problem.. .but when there is a will there's a way..

[alstonj1]

have your cake and eat it too ... pick out your favorites and some spares then take them with you then put the rest on ebay separately or on the auction here . The people here are the best able to get those machines restored and helping you to get your machines running . Its a win win situation. if you dont mind me asking how did you get them all in the first place ???

I wish I could find my Ruby Red Slippers, I'd be in Kansas in no time to help thin out the crowd.

I think you should stop feeding your koi and start playing your pachis

Welcome to PachiTalk!!!

I would get rid of the wife - problem solved

Welcome Koifeeder!!!

Here's that picture I told you about

Welcome Aboard!!

[koifeeder]

Thanks for all the friendly Hellos! I am going to at least take a picture of each machine, for documentations sake, thats my plan, we will see how well I can execute on it! Do you think 1 picture of the whole machine would be enough, or 1 of the whole machine, and one closeup of the playfield? No real purpose in doing this except maybe to show a machine that someone hasn't seen before.

I like to take a photo of the front(with glass/plexi removed), one of the back, and a closeup of the playfield. That shows everyone most of the details of the machine.

Awesome collection! If I was still in my manic phase I'd be trying to figure out how to buy them all. Now I can just appreciate them. I look forward to your photos.

Wow, Awesome collection of Pachinko Machines!
Im sorry that you need to get rid of them.
Welcome to this Pachitalk site, Everyone here shares the Love of Pachinko and Pachislo machines, We all understand.

Koifeeder,

Sounds like you still want to get rid of most, if not all of your machines.

Everyone else,

Is there any rule on this board from buying and selling each other's machines? I've got to believe that you could probably unload a third or more of your machines on the fine folks on this board. I might be interested in one myself.

I know that there is an auction here, but can we just deal one-on-one with each other?

Thoughts?

[FTKServices]

We encourge buying & selling to members but we like it to be posted in the Pachitalk Auction. This way the board gets a small % to help support the site.

Machines can easily be listed with a buy out price to make it really simple.

Perhaps he should come up with a list to be looked over. Since this is a focused hobby forum, I'm sure specific names and details would be much appreciated.

[luckydog]

I don't think he wants to go thru the hassle of packing and shipping each machine

Welcome to PachiTalk

[koifeeder]

Well, I have a guy that was wanting to buy the whole lot, but he has canceled twice, so I don't know if he will pan out. If he doesn't, then I wouldn't mind posting them on the board auction, if anybody would be interested. I don't mind shipping, its a pain, but I wouldn't mind too bad

Nice collection! How could you ever part with all of that beauty?
Look at all that color! It would make all of your walls sing, literally!
Keep em! You will regret it in years to come!

First let me start by saying welcome to Pachitalk.

I'm sorry to hear that you can't keep the machines. If my wife would allow me to buy any more I'd get one, if only for the reason I don't have any from that era. I only have 70's vintage and modern. I know what a hassle it can be to pack and ship them. I've done a few referbed machines and sold them on fleabay. Arby had listed the perfact size box that he used for shipping. If I find the link I'll post it.

I just showed my wife the picture...and before I could even tell her what was going on, she said, "Don't even think about it!"
