    Thumbs up Magazines books and such!

    It seem to me that there is a serious need for information on techniques and machine knowledge. These things a key to get the most out of the pachinko.

    I have many magazines and books on this subject but they are in Japanese so to this point I have not thought seriously in regard to selling them. They are full of pictures and data on all the popular machines.

    Is the language to big a problem or are there some people out there who would make use of these items?

    Let me know what you think.

    WDS3:

    Are we talking just Pachislos or also Pachinkos?

    I know I would have some interest myself. Do you have any kind of a listing with prices yet?

    Thankx

    I have looked into this with nitch sellers like www.jbox.com & others.
    Japanese hobby magazines are very high quality;
    generally oversized, glossy, and packed with pictures & details in Japanese.
    These usually have net-costs in the range of $15-$25 each
    I recommend them for any of your specialty interests

    Investing in a modern translator
    such as one of the Wordtank series from Cannon
    is very worthwhile if you have many Japanese interests
    see here or google Wordtank
