Fair Price for This?

[DaveCapps]

Found this on the local CL. Would kind of like to have one of these machines but I don't know what a fair price for a single shot is. I requested a pic of the back and will post later. Any input?

Japanese Pachinko machine vintage ?

I think you can find more like this for less. Not sure about the background art, but it's a common style of single shot. You could always go see it and make them a more reasonable offer in person.

I would probably go for it
Most of those that pop up around here are faded completely out
So it's nice that it still has some color
But definitely get some pics of the back first

looks to be in ok shape. unless you are a huge fan of single shots, i'd hold out for one of the earlier ones from the 50's or early 60's especially if you're going to have just one single shot in your collection
they're harder to find but have the best background graphics typically and are just a much cleaner, more interesting design.
like some of these:

Thanks for all the input. I may make an offer but pretty sure they won't be happy with it. Everyone has been incredibly helpful.

Little overpriced IMO. But then again when I go on CL I instantly see machines priced for $50 or less.

[DaveCapps]

its tough out here finding good pricing; all of the machines are "RARE". Even if they sit on CL for a month if you offer less than asking folks think your trying to steal their kids or something. Oh well, the hunt is part of the fun; right?

They might dislike your offer, but only until the rent is due.
Give 'em a call in couple of weeks.

Seems like a reasonable starting price, plenty of room for haggling.
I picked mine up (New Prince) for 50.00, lowball em, work
from there, good luck!
