    Default Ultimate Mahjong Arepachi Jan Ball

    ·ã¥ì¥¢Âæ¡¡¤¸¤ã¤óµå ¡Ö¼«¸ÊÃæ¿´ÇÉ¡× ¥µ¥ß¡¼¡¡£²£´VÅŸ» - Yahoo!¥ª¡¼¥¯¥·¥ç¥ó

    A little over 2 1/2 days to go, only one bid (5000Y)

    Hand flipper, 2 LCD screens

    C'mon Eddie, you know you want to


    By the way, Kia is back as far as I know. The export thing is a side line and of course with the economy the way it is that part has slowed - a lot. Not exactly sure what his regular job is but I do know they've had him busy of late so that's why he wasn't around.

    It's a more modern remake of an older machine

    Not only do I want to I did!!! I have been searching for this machine for a few years now! I made many connections in Japan just to find one but have had no luck. This machine is my Holy Grail of Japanese machines!

    It is the most fantastic Japanese machine That I've seen in a loooong time . It would be great if one of our importers in the U.S.of A. gets a few of these here .

    Well sorry to say, eddie didn't make it, and it wasn't for trying.

    With a flurry of last minute bidding, causing several automatic extensions, it finally went for 133000Y or $1,394.57, still worth it, in my opinion, but the guy that won really really wanted it.

    well that's a real shame...

    Now you have to try and find him another one, because I'm sure if anyone deserves that pachi, Eddie certainly does

    Hey guys thats the breaks! I actually bid higher then the winner but got the bid in too late
    aside of that I couldnt go as high as someone local in Japan due to the cost of shipping and broker fees so they have a huge advantage. The shipping and broker fee might have been almost double the cost to win the machine in the first place so I had to take that into account the entire time. Is that machine worth close to $2000 to me yes to anyone else I hope not LOL

    I'm going to make it a goal this month to seek out one of these machines in Tokyo and play.

    Seems like it'd be worth the trip if I can find one.

    I think they're getting close to the end of their 3 years, unless this type of game is regulated differently.

    but pfftt, whadaIknow?

    It'll be found in an arcade here. Not a palour. And even if so... There are many old, cheap palours around that carry old pachinko / slots. Some even advertise based on it!
