    well, I still don't know what is the shipping cost for it. Still waiting a message from Kiai to let me know he receive it.

    I will let you know how it's go. Maybe if it don't ruin me, I can buy some to sell them to the members here. But I wouldn't want to be stuck with them hehehe

    well, I just actually made one with lego's Just to see if I can still build with them. I made one similar to marble lifter in youtube videos. Then I also started really to plan one from parts in my garage. Seems that I can get parts from old drilling machine. Already disassembled it, but have not had time to continue the project. Would be so much easier to buy one...

    Well, there is nothing really to see yet, just loose parts. Do not even have all the parts yet. My plan is to copy design from real pachinko ball lifters. It is not adventurous, but heck why to re-invent wheel again ?

    I've seen requests here (and in PMs) looking for ball lifters.
    I've responded to the PMs, but... no response back.

    SO... what would you pay for one?
    (Everyone always asks what they sell for... but never what they'd offer for one)

    Thought I'd turn this thread around for those who have one, but are in no particular hurry to sell it... like me.

    BTW... sorry neighbors, but I only ship the the USA.

    I could probably go for $75 or so.. but I think that would be an insult to those who actually want to sell one. I know they are worth more than $75 cause they are in such demand.

    I guess I'm cheap.

    I did get a couple of god deals - but when they were around I paid $250 for each one. BE ADVISED - these ball lifters are really vintage, with the exception of two of them that I got, they all required a LOT of cleaning/de-rusting, adjusting, so make sure that you are prepared for that when you buy. It is crucial that that ALL OF THE BALL PATHS are sparkling clean - for obvious reasons

    I would say that uness otherwise stated - they will be in kinda "rough" shape. If anyone brings a recent one over from Japan, I would be interested to see what Kiai finds Sometimes he has sources that do all the cleaning and prepping.

    HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY !!!

    What are you willing to pay for a brand new ball lifter (never used)? So far pricing I've received on importing new ball lifters will make the selling price more than twice as much as what rubberratt paid for a used vintage lifter.

    I may also have some real omlock pachinko keys available soon.

    The one you sent me was like NOS it didn't even have any dust on it, I installed it into the MASK Pachinko, where it still works today

    I'd love to see a photo of the never used one, and If I eat tuna and Raman (NIT there's your queue) for while, put all of my priorities in the wrong place and wear my old clothes for another six months... I might me interested

    Honestly I dont know yet, He gave me an example of what other things cost for me to compair. The way that he works is he found it on YAJ and bought it for me, it was about 40 bux for the unit. I paid him that already as a down payment. And I guess he gets the shipping for now untill it gets to him. Once he gets it he weighs it and gives me 3 options for shipping (depending on how much i want to pay for shipping vs. how soon i want it) and then i pay the rest of my balance. He charges a 10% comission. Anyways back to the prices. It was 40 bux for the machine, i think something like 8 bux in shipping to get to him from the seller. It is going to be somewhere around 50 bux for shipping if i take the cheep rout, pluss whatever hes fees are. I am expecting to pay no less than 150 for this if i want to wait 2-3 months for a container to get here. I will probally end up spending 200 on it however. I will let you know once he lets me know. It is just somewhat annoying that he is only on at like 5am my time!
