Vintage PACHINKO Daiichi Syokai Machine Tulip Design! - $900

[JACKSJE4]

This ad cracked me up a bit. The seller "bought this at a garage sale today" and now he is trying to sell it for $900. I'll bet he paid $15-$40 for it at the garage sale.

Vintage PACHINKO Daiichi Syokai Machine Tulip Design! - eBay (item 190493854007 end time Feb-21-11 13:58:16 PST)

Anyone here want to tell him how much it is really worth?

"I bought this Daiichi Syokai Pachinko machine at a garage sale today. I looked online and I could not find one with a similar tulip design on the front. I don't know how to price my machine -- please send me an offer.
Please do not hesitate to send me your best offer, request additional pictures or ask questions.
Here are some additional details: It has some rust on the metal around the glass cover, a plastic piece on the back is broken (please see picture), it doesn't have all the balls -- only a few, I cleaned it but it still could use more cleaning, it's missing two pins on the front, and does NOT have a key. Please know that I do NOT know if it works. I do not know what shipping will cost but I will charge the ACTUAL shipping cost. Please check my feedback and bid with confidence. I want you to be a happy customer! Thank you for looking at my listing".

Make him an offer... $155 shipping, I wouldn't take it if it was free.

Maybe it can be installed in that hearse?

I ended up sending him some advice on how to price his Pachinko. It will be interesting to see if the ad gets changed to reflect reality.

Wow Jeff, thanks for helping us control the market value. Clearly this guy needs a reality check.

Looks like she took my advice and ended the ebay auction. It's now listed on craigslist.
