It's been a while...

It's been a while since I've visited this site. What's up with the prices of pachinkos on eBay??? Are the days of $10 to $50 pachinkos over? Cant believe anyone is buying at $300 - $400.
Recovering from back surgery so I've dusted of the pachinkos and getting the "Pachinko Palace" back in order.

There are a lot of people selling, but nobody buying at those prices. I'm not sure about Sandusky, but here in San Jose they are still selling for $25-75 depending on the machine. Maybe check your local craigslist ads. Welcome back to the forum. Hopefully you will have a speedy recovery from your surgery and be hitting the coasters at Cedar Point in no time.

That first drop! I grew up in Michigan and would occasionally make the trip to Sandusky to ride the coasters at Cedar Point. It's been at least 20 years since I was there. I think the Magnum was the latest and greatest the last time I was there. Last time I was at the park the sky got dark and dropped so fast everyone started running for the exits. The park shut down all the rides as tornados formed and a huge accident on the causeway left everyone stranded in the parking lot. I looked out at Lake Erie and saw 3 waterspouts at the same time. Crazy day.
