    Default Opinion on this ebay Pachinko

    I just wanted some opinions on this one. I think it is a bit high for the condition and shipping. Be a real challenge to refurb it.

    I might pay $15.00 or less and no shipping on it

    I agree with LuckyDog... $15 to $25 tops... these come up on Craigs list quite often and after they sit there after a week or two posted in the $100 range or more, the owners invariably lower their price to the $40-$50 range and then are willing to entertain bids of $15 to 25. Just be patient and not be afraid of passing on one or two and eventually you'll score one with lots less rust then this ugly one you are looking at.

    thats the best picture he could come up with

    looks like a parts machine... my guess is he is hiding some damage on the top of the cell??

    Absolutely not. I would take it for spare parts if it were free.
    Maybe I could salvage a couple of leaf switches, or maybe the frame... POSSIBLY...

    I am sure that someone here has an extra pachi for sale... (Ooops! silly me. There is no such thing as an extra pachi!)

    That poor suffering little 1972 Nishijin model b pachinko machine is going to end up in a land fill all because that seller thinks it's worth even more then what he wants for shipping.

    I feel like I should go to the hospital to get a tetanus shot from just looking at those photos.

    If I had to drive more than 10 miles to get to it and had to pay more than $10 bucks for it, I wouldn't take it.

    I have picked up 2 outstanding deals on Craigslist...one for $15 & one for $10...the deals come along when you least expect it, but when they do, they are worth the wait.

    The only thing that machine is good for is parts or a complete assault by the likes of ShockSystem (which would strip it, sand it, repaint it, etc.) Otherwise, as others have said...PASS!
    I'm not addicted to Pachinkos. I can quit at any time. Did I tell you about the three machines that I have on the way?

    I concur with the others her. If it were $10.00 or less I would use it as a parts machine. Otherwise pass, I do disagree about it ending up in a landfill any time soon, with that price they will just put it in the garage and sit on it until the market turns around and then ask $150.00 for it.
