    Default star wars and lord of the rings pachinko need advice

    I found a lord of the rings pachinko for 300 and a star wars pachinko for 600

    he is willing to take 700 for both I figured I could do 650 since that is a lot of money

    also including about 1600 pachinko balls.

    is that a reasonable price or am I over paying?

    even 650 seems rather steep for picking them up in person but I need everyones opinion

    I couldnt afford bills so I sold super sea story and jaws for like 150 total 2 years ago... I hate that pachinkos are expensive now

    I paid $450 for my Star Wars machine recently (with 1,000 balls) and that was a fairly good deal. Don't know much about Lord of the Rings.

    The original Star Wars is a great fun theme, the only one of my pachinkos that is permanent mounted on the living room wall

    Lord of the Rings, is not one I have ever played, however it does seem to attract negative comments amongst our members.

    You could try doing a search here and see what comes up in the threads / posts about it, unless of course you really like the theme, its all about the theme

    Sorry I can't advise on prices in US, it's a totally different Market to the UK, but I'm sure other members can offer advice on this for you

    I like the themes not a must have but I enjoy both.

    I've seen Star Wars selling recently on eBay for $650 shipped. If your picking up in person $400 for Star Wars and no more than $150 for LOTR. Then maybe you could add $50 for the balls.

    The price of modern Pachinkos is surely on the rise especially with the demise of so many vendors but the cost is close to what I would consider paying.

    600 total seems fair because they arent selling off the shelves and he dont have to ship them

    Here is another Star Wars machine listed for $750. This is close to what I typically see them listed for on both eBay and Craigslist.

    I have 3 of them!! All my luminas are white, would have loved a funky green one and maybe a game that matched it

    I think the white lumina is the most popular frame made, at least it seems that way here at PT,, and the great thing about the Lumina is, a whole stack of pachis fit that frame

    I'm a truck driver too, but can't take side trips for pickups anymore (company truck as opposed to my own). I've brought back pallets worth in the past
