show and sale

[garyleske]

I hear there will be a show and sale of pachislo's this weekend here in Salt Lake City, Utah. Does anyone know who will be here? I think it was DGI last time, and I bought one machine from them. Is there any way to get a good deal at one of these shows? Gary L.

Yeah here's a great Philly favorite (I'll give you the non-violent method)...Keep asking stupid questions, hang out there all day (if it's longer than a 1 day thing, keep going day after day)...ask silly stuff especially when there is other customers there...never argue price at first...just keep playing each and every machine they have and ask some more questions...keep telling them you're not sure if you want one...gotta think about it...the wife is going to kill me if I buy one, etc...eventually they will be soooooo sick of you they will beg for you to buy one (cheap) to get rid of you! :-) :-)

BTW...This strategy does work...That's how I got my first one at a show by DGI in a Philly suburb (Azteca Legend for $175 with 1000 tokens)...Also this method works very well at car dealerships...Also if you have kids (especially 4-9 year olds) bring them with you (with slime on them preferably)! :-) :-)

company trucks in a few hundred machines, sets 'em up, gives out tokens for you to play, and sells you the one (s) you like. Now that I know what to look for, it will be more interesting.

So, I went to the show. Good news...I got to see and play lots of the machines I've been seeing on the Internet. The bad, I mean very bad news....Arra King $ 459.00, Charlie's angels $ 659.00, Neo Planett $ 459.00, Blackjack $ 659.00, Terminator $ 1459.00 and on and on. Thought I would pick up some tokens. HA! $ 75.00 for 500. At least half of the Neo Plannetts had error messages, they must not travel by truck well. Neat to see and play all the machines though. I think the hannabi was about the neatest one, but it was like $ 450 as well. I showed one of the salesmen an add from this company selling the machines that I copied off the Internet, listing a Charlie's angels for $ 129.00 with 500 tokens. Asked him was the one they had for $ 659.00 a newer model or something? No one would talk to me after that, so I left happy. Gary L.

8-) Great story!

I guess this vendor was PROUD of his products! Was the vendor someone we know (from Ebay) ?

[dapperdan]

Well I went to the show and it was DGI. Everything was way over priced like garyleske said compared to ebay/online prices (Beast Sap $850 - IGT Terminator $1459, etc). It was nice though to see all the machines in person.

They had a Sinbad Adventures for $570 and I was playing with it and one of their guys came up to and started talking to me. I told him that I have bought some machines from them before on ebay. He asked me what the Sinbad one goes for on ebay and I told him around $300. He said that they usually cost around $70 to ship so he offered to sell it to me for $370 so I bought it (I almost bough this one from stealth for $350 plus the shipping). After I started paying for it I found out it only came with 100 tokens and they asked if I wanted to buy more but at the price they were selling them at, I told them I already had a few thousand so I would be fine.

So I got a fair deal pretty much the same price as online. I may of gotten one cheaper on ebay if I wanted to wait auction after auction for the right price but it was nice just to get one and be done with it and not have to worry about the shipping.

And that's why I do business whenever possible with 7mileslots. He cuts me a deal on the prices he's got posted, down to about what he's got posted on the forum....I get a great price on tokens.....and NO shipping cost! I've had great luck with the machines I've bought from him, and no issue with tokens....can't beat that!
