    Default How can we start a new momentum for Pachislos like in '05

    I remember the good old days of the great boom of 2004-2008 that the Pachislots were extremely popular and vendors would compete against each other for the best consumer prices. Looks like the bubble busted a few years ago and now the good slots are harder to find. I wish we could bring back the pachi-era again.

    I bought over 40 pachislos and pachinkos back then, my average price for most of them with shipping tokens or balls was under $115.00

    I only paid more for my Cutie Honey, which was under $200.00 shipped

    Shipping prices have skyrocketed, global recession, poor exchange rates - heck even my non-machine purchases off of YJA have dropped - but the exchange rate is back up to $1:¥100 from it's $1:¥75 low in late 2011/early 2012 so perhaps things will pick up again.

    What is the shipping rate going for now? I remember back in the days it was a standard of about $75 per machine.
