    Default VINTAGE Surviving Empty Cardboard Pachinko Box from Japan for Your Pachinko Game

    http://www.ebay.com/itm/200710598810...#ht_1160wt_932

    Yes now you can pay $25 for a box. and then pay $25 to have it shipped in another box.

    Though oddly enough my dad says he bought his machine as a child at an Akron store. For those who don't know what they were. They were similar to a Pier 1 imports except they got the higher end goods.

    This auction will be interesting to watch.

    (sorry I can't post the pictures. I have tried but I can't post pics from ebay auctions.)

    100 machines and counting...

    $25 for an empty box with $25 Shipping costs! Now that is funny!

    some people want the orginal box, i know with trains it brings more money with boxes and train set boxes only are listed a lot on ebay

    on a really old complete train box set the price is almost double

    I remember when I was collecting older game console systems, the ones I had that were complete in the original box easily fetched double what the same system without the box did. I have to admit, I always purchased ones that came in the original box as well. I am not sure why, the boxes just went into my attic while the systems were set up for play.

    I disagree with the term "original". The original box is in Japan! This is a box that the importer had printed up to repackage it in for American consumers. It is as close to an original box as we will ever come, and quite frankly I wouldn't want one. I just have no use for it...except maybe to sell on eBay.

    I think they only have one. But it is kinda pointless to try to sell a box on its own. What they should do is find a cheap machine to sell it with.

    Thanks for pointing out my error.

    I meant to say it didn't sell. I guess I was too tired last night.

    This guy needs to learn.

    He will get rid of it if: A. he lowers price or B. he sells a machine with it.

    Either way I'm not that interested. I already have 3 boxes.
