    I know you are new here, but Arby is one guy you can trust. Consider the good deal he is giving you as a welcoming .

    At that price, that is a steal!!!!!!! Check the internet, you will not even get close to that!!!!! Sam's Club sells machines for $238 and those are cheap ones.

    EBay sells them usually for about 25 bucks, plus 8 - 10 shipping for 500. It is better to go ahead and get 1000 tokens. I think it costs a little less than buying two seperate 500 token purchases.

    A little bar stool would be good. Walmart sells them. They also sell the cushions for them to.

    I paid $ 160.00 plus $ 70.00 shipping on an ebay auction ( $ 230.00 ). I have tracked this machine on a spread sheet and they have been sold on ebay with shipping for : $ 195, $200, $ 185, $145, $285, $195, $195 and $ 165. Arby's price of $ 150.00 delivered is excellent. Go for it ! Frank A, Jackson, NJ 732-616-6884

    My intent was not to cheat or slip something on anyone, just felt I could help out a new person. I have enjoyed it and the difference in what I paid and sold it for is immaterial at my stage in life.

    Just like the pachinkos, I have more in labor than I will get, but it was an education, and as we all know you pay for a good education now days. And it was Fun too!

    I agree with Arby that we can never recoup what we have put into a machine as far as labor or modifications go. How do you charge for an hour or two of your time to clean, polish and adjust the little things that are needed? If and when we want to let one of our machines go, all we can do is try and get what we paid for it or maybe a little less if we don't enjoy the machine anymore. Frank A
