    Default where to buy modern pachinkos for 2-300 dollars?

    A few years ago I was buying pachinkos like jaws and sea story for a 100 dollars each. I was also making 8 dollars an hour and had to sell them to pay for things.

    I am looking for an online seller of these units but I cannot find anyone that has them for a good price.

    what happened? and where can I get them.

    I was considering buying slot-pachinkos lot because I happen to drive a semi and could get a loan for the ammount I just dont want to sit on them for a while, nor have time to ship them

    A few years ago the market was flooded with cheap machines from a few importers. They drove other dealers under and then folded making all the cheap machines drop off the market. The $100 (or even $200) machines just are not there anymore.

    As the popularity of these machines grow so does the price.Supply and demand gets harder and the greed gets higher also.

    Welcome to PachiTalk!. Thanks for becoming a member.

    I scan all Craigslist sites across the U.S. daily and repost ads I find for both vintage and modern machines (unless they are way over-priced). You might want to follow my posts in the in the Craigslist forum and see if one pops up in an area near you.

    Dang I wish you could buy the lot I would have ran it if someone could have gotten them to Denver. But that aint gonna happen now since they decided to keep the biz in the family.

    This is STILL very much a niche market! I mean if something goes wrong there is no one to take it too. They do not come with polished frames. IF you want extras you need to them yourself etc.
    We are just a dedicated bunch and the main reason I knew about them when my father got one for the family from a chain known as a Pachinko Palace back in the 70s! I then decided
    one day I wanted one again and I went DOWN HILL from there. Its a bad habit that lots of fun... BUT for the average game playing person they can be too much work and a lot of kids today
    get bored with playing the same game over and over while we don't feel that way and keep looking for the different eye catch screens and secret levels etc. etc.
    Its tuff beating out the Kewlness of having Clint Eastwood play on your pachinko though!

    I guess my Maruhon was too expensive to make it on your list.
    But I posted it this morning and the guy picked it up just now.
    It was in great condition tho and had a nice battery pack with a switch.
