Should I be sorry?

[Eddie]

I just won Araking Pachislo on ebay. After I placed my bid I decided I really didnt like the color too cheesy. The reason I first bid on it in the firstplace was that it was different with the Patchinko on it which is cool and the bidding was very cheap. I was actually hoping that I would lose the bid after considering that the color wont go with my gameroom I didnt want to back out and have a bad ebay rating. Has anyone seen this machine in action? Will the game play, sounds etc possibly make up for the horrible looking case? My Pachislo obsession has gotten the better of me and I might be stuck with a machine that I really wont like.Im already having regrets!

....I thought I was the only one in this group that had "match the gameroom" issues..... welcome to my h*ll Eddie

Ok Eddie you are now officially addicted!
We call this sport bidding, you are innocently scrolling through auctions on Ebay, see a machine that is way cheap and bid, not really caring what machine it is, telling yourself "I'm not gonna win, someone will outbid me."
The next thing you know you are logging into paypal and paying for it.
I know that Tulsa did it, and I have done it. I'm not too sure as to who else has, but I am sure there are more of them.
I turned my sport bid into a custom Looney Tunes and I felt better about it in the end.

the way I look at it eddie is, Open the box very carefully and play the machine for awhile. if after that you don't like it, box it back up and put it on ebay, yeah you might loose 10-15usd. but at least you won't be stuck with a machine you don't like plus by being careful with the box, you won't have the headaches of having to find a box for it and paying for it.

GUILTY! Bought a clapped out old Speed Racer on Ebay with a 3 amp transformer! NASTY! Calculated it out to a learning Event! (One time thing) Now I have been there and done that heheh.. Made the Trip, Own the Car and Own the T-Shirt LOL!!


P.S. and Sucked the Lemon to boot!!

Well I'm a repeat offender. I ended up with a Hard Boiled that way. Not a bad machine but it became my brothers Christmas present. I was also sport bidding on the Harley. Never expected to win it at what I won it for and wasn't going to bid any higher.

I didn't get a tee shirt with it though.

There ya go! Feel better?

I think most of us are guilty of doing that, Lddrizzt. I know I am. However, I did get lucky once and got outbid on a Million God/Gold.

As far as the ArraKing, Eddie, it's really a nice machine! But it does need volume controls added!

Maybe you can slip the UPS driver a few Dollars to run over it and clame as a loss :09:

[scooby_doo_m2002]

now thats bad!!!!!!!! just plain bad!!!!!!! but I like your thinking though....

[rjb0388]

You got a good chance of that happening on its own the way UPS handles the frieght lately.

[arbycoffee]

that is how I got my 2nd and 3rd Tom Cat, being such an asz kicking machine I could not help myself.
My first one came to me in kit form.
And I think there was 30 or 40 other pachislots, than Tulsa saved me and showed the true way to inner happyness with balls

[Lazarus]

I'm still in denial! All of my machines are what I wanted and I never over payed for any of them!

[Eddie]

Well guys the reels are in motion or should I say the Balls and Reels ,in this particular machine! Payed for it last night and tracking says it comes tommorow. Its nice to live not so far from a vendor! The machine will probably play well and the attraction is probably very cool.I only hope I can get over the Horrendous case! Too bad it wasnt in Black. The machine looks like it came from The Toys R Us toddlers dept. Fisher Price sect. Am I a Pachislo Racist? Maybe its personality will win me over if not. There maybe a Green Machine on Ebay! Thanks all! for all of your replies But from what some of you have said I think its time to start a Pachislo Anonymous. We are all nuts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[luckydog]

It's much better than the Catfish, Pink Bell and Million God

I wouldn't mind owning one if I had the room

[lucentenigma]

lmao... my first pachislo (and only for now) was one I really did not want, I wanted a speedracer but thought over 200 was to much for it, so I "sport" bid on a jsr because I was fustrated of not winning any auctions, ended up winning it hoping I was going to be outbid. Now that I have it I love it and it's a great machine (but how would I really know since its my first)

btw I know the only way I'm gonna get a mint speedracer is to pony up the money, I also want a lupin the 3rd and golgo 13 pachi (yes I love anime)
