A modern pachinko buyers' public service from SlotUSA

Here's an auction whose photo is worth a lot:

What I like about this picture is how, like an I Spy game, you can count the ways that these machines have been parted out or damaged.

It's a useful reminder that unless an (individual) seller says their game works, it might be one of these...

I don't think I would pay the $250 shipping for that grab bag of junk.

In know I wouldn't pay the $250.00 shipping. Might be able to get $50.00 worth of parts out of them.

You think that is bad?? Just look at their other auction http://cgi.ebay.com/12-Slot-Machines...QQcmdZViewItem with these clapped out Pachislos! LOL Look particularly at the 1995 New Pulsar Extra (The machine that is that the bottom right) (The green one missing the belly glass). They can't be serious! Or could they LOL!!!

Hopefully no one will bid on the pachislo auctions. That's pitiful

I'll take that as you enjoyed the link as much as I did. You would have to have fallen off the turnip truck to bid on that nasty lot and pay that shipping for them. If I was to even consider them for parts they would have to have SOME useful parts on them!

I think they used to move their parted out junk through Bargainland Liquidation. Maybe they've changed their gameplan.

[ocpachinko]

Of course I don't know pachislos, but if the pachinkos were merely damaged this would be a different story. Getting a few machines that just had plastic broken or loose...cool.

I didn't mean to bang on SUSA on this, as actually I received a vintage from an eBay seller today that had a crucial missing piece (buyer 'couldn't test it', yeah, sure) and I saw this auction's photo as a great way to teach folks that something that at first looks good may not be so good after all.

Slot USA is quite clear these are junkers; still, if you needed VISIBLE parts in the photo to fix a bunch of machines it wouldn't take too long to make up that shipping. Of course, front and back detail photos would help...

Here's the last one they did!
