    Default Hanabi Pachislo Skill Stop Slot Machine

    Hello,

    I joined because I am currently selling a Hanabi slot machine on eBay. I have done some basic research but by no means am I an expert. I figured this would be a good place to get more information from people more knowledgeable than I and possibly find a buyer if anyone is interested. Any further info you could give would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

    Here is a link to my eBay listing: Hanabi Pachislo Skill Stop Slot Machine (472 tokens & keys included) | eBay

    Welcome to Pachitalk!

    Looks like you have a nice machine there. My personal opinion would be that your price may be little high. However, you never know until you try. Good luck with the sale.

    you may want to put a disclaimer in your ad

    stating not a gambling device, accepts tokens only for entertainment and home use

    i've sold similar machines for $50.00 to $75.00

    not sure the PT world is ready for 2 hanabi's

    but Welcome to PachiTalk anyway,


    About your Pachislo, it is an old one, made in 1998 by Aruze and is also referred to as 'fireworks' (hanabi is the Japanese word for fireworks)

    I just did the currency conversion

    299.99 USD = 191.51 GBP
    450.00 USD = 287.28 GBP


    That is definitely on the high side, you may however get interest if you added the option for 'offers' to your listing, and this will of course help you gauge your market

    Thanks everybody for the welcome! I also really appreciate all the info and advice you gave. I'm actually selling this machine for my brother - he's just trying to recoup what he has into it at this point. Which is beginning to sound like he may have overpaid a bit. But I guess it's worth what someone's willing to pay, so I will definietly mention all of your suggestions to him and let him have the final say.

    Luckydog, about the disclaimer - I'm pretty sure I have one at the end of the listing. I've had the listing removed for not stating that it was non-convertable to currency so I just copied & pasted eBay's statement to avoid the headaches. Also, thanks for giving me some comparative prices, that was really helpful!

    Hanabi, thanks for the idea of adding "make an offer" to gauge the market, I will suggest it to my brother.

    You are absolutely right that it is definitely worth whatever someone is willing to pay. All it takes is that one person who has to have it. Best of Luck!!!

    You might have a better chance finding that person if you offered shipping. Local pick-up certainly limits your customer base.

    I see your point, I was considering it. Since it's a bulk item I was trying to avoid doing it since I've never shipped anything of that size. I suppose I'll have to do some research into it. Anyone have a carrier they'd recommend? Thanks!

    There are some threads on the subject of shipping. I am not very good at finding them though. I have use both Fedex &UPS. I can't say that I prefer one over the other. I have never shipped a pachislo only pachinkos. You might want to start a new thread about shipping. There are a lot of knowledgeable members on here who I m sure could give you some good advice.

    shipping a Pachinko is no biggy..

    Thanks for the encouragement. I was able to do a little bit more research and updated the description in the listing & I spent some time looking into it and I think I have shipping figured out. Someone actually contacted me for a quote so (fingers crossed) that's a good sign!
