That's slot-pachinko's inventory. Curts family looks like thier liquidating the company.That's sad ,he had a good buisness with pachinko and pachislo collectors.

While I hate to say this you could see this coming, I am just surprised to find this on Ebay vs. a certified business seller. This is what they do a for a living

MY guess is Rita would have the best shot at it IF she chose to or wanted to expand her inventory because while it did not last long
she shared a container or 2 with Curt and both are out of Texas, just not sure how close they are to one another. For all his faults Curt did use
decent Transformers and had really decent setups for the machines he sold. It was just mixed bag on how clean. I have had them from Sparkling clean and perfect to me removing the
door and grinding the ball drop opening... His family has my condolences and I hope somebody steps in and sells them at a decent price and such. I know he still has 1-2 titles
I would not mind having at the right price!

I would love to see an inventory list of what they have.

[luckydog]

thats a shame they are selling everything and closing down

now all we need is for a pachitalk member to hit the lottery

This would be very tempting if they were located in Virginia. It would make for a fun side business.

U-Haul rents trucks just for such an occasion.

Texas to Virginia...plus no place to store everything...I will have to pass.

Not to mention my wife thought I was a little crazy when I bought 3 machines in about a week. Not sure how she would react to me buying a semi-truck full.

I hope it stays local, spent many hours these past months roaming around in there, It was like being in wonka's chocolate factory!
sure will miss Curt,and Linda but hopefully, like they say "everything happens for a reason" and something good can come out of this sad time

I would be interested in buying it but I think their price is priced closer to retail than wholesale, and I have no storage facility add in shipping and it really adds up.
The one thing New Hampshire does NOT have is inexpensive storage.
If you buy that many machines you have to get it at a true wholesale price and they say each machine is valued at $300-$400 but they aren't able to be sold for that much, at least not most of them.
Granted having 100,000 balls would be great but each sphere is 5 grams and that's 500,000 grams or 500 Kilos or 1,100 lbs.
I hope someone gets them that can afford to do a proper business with them.

[luckydog]

starting bid, shipping and storage would barely handle the wholesale value

[mxfaiman]

Man If I could I'd buy a whole bunch of balls from him. They would probably be cheap. I mean I have close to 75 machines and selling each one with about 250-500 would greatly increase the selling price. Plus I could use a few thousand for myself.

I might send him an email.

Thanks for posting this Carl.

You can post the load up here to be shipped.

They might go for it

The company HQ is even in Dallas.

Thing is that the reserve is not met so who knows what the real asking price is. For trying to clear out of the businesses as fast as they can the asking price seems a little greedy

[Steve Cebu]

I'm tempted by this but there are always 2 prices. The asking price and the "I am willing to buy it now for this price in cash" price.
They are liquidating and trying to get close to retail.
They would make more money if they just put the website up and had clearance prices on everything.
By that I mean $100-$150 for every machine in stock.
They'd sell out in a month and pocket more money than selling outright.
My guess is Curts widow doesn't want to or is unable to do all that work.
