    Supply and demand is a terrible thing.
    Rough figure I'd say is £100 plus travel or shipping. That should get you a good average pachinko or pachislo. If you want something more specific like a starwars pachislo, then at least double it, Although the one on ebay for £600 is dreaming,
    But if you want my Cutie honey I'd take £600 for that

    As with all things, The detail is in the accesorires. That amount of balls and tokens is improtant too. 500 of each minimum or better 1000. Don't believe an ad that says balls can easierly and cheaply be found on ebay.

    Hello


    I would say that is not an easy question to answer

    First you need to actually find one for sale, then it would depend on what the model is, some are more popular than others and some never made it to the UK in good numbers and 'rarer' (the UK market is totally different to the US)

    So first you need to find a machine,

    then check it's a model you actually want

    then I would either post here and ask about the model, or if you don't want to draw attention to it, then do a 'search' of our forums here, particularly check out the ebay listings forum, as you will then see what asking prices were and more importantly what they actually sold for, if they sold. I always make a point of updating those threads with the final selling prices so that they can be researched later.

    (you could also check out eBay itself by searching ebay's 'completed listings' but that only works easily if they were listed as pachislo or pachinko, lots of machines aren't )

    I have seen pachislos around the £60 mark recently, but those tend to be older models, or maybe not as popular themes.

    and Pachinko prices vary wildly, for both Vintage and Modern, I've seen some sell for less than £100, it depends again on the model and probably most importantly for the UK, it depends on how many pachinko balls are supplied with it,

    Do you have some models or themes you are particularly interested in??

    Also factor in any shipping costs, if you can pick one up then you save a fair bit in petrol or courier costs

    Good Luck , and remember we will do our best to advise if you have any questions

    Sell Cutie Honey hmmm no chance There is no value on her. Its irreplaceable. I know there are 2 in the Uk, But total amount of this one are unknow.
    I'm bringing over the newer Star Wars vader from Japan, to be cleaned and sold, But don't have a value for that one yet as haven't got the final costs through. But I expect that would be between £250-300. Again. I don't know yt as I don't know what my costs on it will be.

    Cutie Honey - Watch the original 70s aime





    Most people like it for its action and the clear playing field with the full saized monitor underneath it. Also look for a Hanabi (fireworks) that comes in the same frame

    All the newer machines. None here unless you bring it in yourself. There is the one featuring the AV actress.

    That one although long sold, About £40 BIN and about £200 to ship. By sea (2 month wait) More by SAL or EMS shipping


    Questions are fine. They are the route to wisdom

    Now this one will upset the other half
