    Default Token price check?

    Hi all

    Ive been offered 12,000 pachislo tokens for £265 (about $450.00) shipped. Anyone got any thoughts?

    They are used tokens, im not sure if there the same design im waiting for them to get back to me.

    Thanx

    Tokens are going for about four cents a piece and you pay the shipping over here. I think ninety percent of them are used and that makes little difference. As a matter of fact it just helps add to my collection of different tokens.

    Can't remember what I paid for the last ones I sourced in the UK

    Not so easy to find here in any reasonable quantity

    but that works out at just over £22 per 1,000 shipped, which sounds to me like a good price

    That is a good price, make sure they are 25mm and not 30mm

    That is a great price on the tokens especially if they are 25mm. I like it when we get in a mixed design batch myself as I like to keep some of the different designs for my token collection.

    Did the seller send you a photo.
    Some non-Japanese made tokens don't work on all machines. Thats a lot of tokens and chances are you'll end up getting more machines. Not to fun if some tokens can't be used through out your parlor.
    I speak from experience
    Anyone want a 1000 silver cherry tokens

    Authentic parlor tokens sell for between 6-8 cents apiece. including shipping

    Ebb I appreciate your concern but im protected.

    The seller has said they come directly from the parlours in japan and are used tokens. They are 25mm and will work on any pachislo machine. I will be buying them through ebay so I will be protected if they arent what they say they are. If they dont work I'll be wanting my money back, simple really. I'll let you know how I get on.

    Well they arrived today all 12000 of them and 1 little pachinko ball

    The package weighed 74kg . If anyone else is in need of a large amount in the UK at a good price the ebay seller is lisacardigan. They are all mixed tokens but in very good shape, there are quite a few designs in there but the main one says 'mitchy' on them. It would of been soooo funny if they had made a spelling messtake on them lo

    Just need a few more machines now so I can put these to good use

    Oops forgot to say, as I was unpacking them I picked out some of the different designs and there was only 1 style that wouldnt fit in the machine. It was the thickness that stops them going into the slot. I cant see there being many of them so Im not that bothered.

    I'm glad they arrived quickly and that you are happy with them



    Lisacardigan, used to bring Pachislos into the UK at one point,

    I have bought from them before, but only a mobile phone, nothing pachi related, but I had no problems with the transaction

    It's all about the hunt for anything pachi! Who's going to find the next cool thing, possibly cheaper than anyone else.
