Anyone interested in Pachi-related items?

[fronzdan]

I have a contact in Japan who has been exporting/selling various items on ebay. They are thinking about adding pachi-related goodies (with some encouragement from me), such as parlor flags/posters, pachi magazines and various small items like the cool "pachi-treasure" some of the guys on here get from time to time. They will be selling/shipping directly from Japan, internationally.

If prices on this stuff is reasonable and shipping costs are decent is there any interest?

The key is the stuff would have to be reasonably priced....I mean not many people would be willing to spend 20 bucks on a little pachislo keychain, for example. I've told them about Pachitalk as an example of just how popular pachis are in NA and Europe. I also mentioned Pachitalk Auctions as another great way to sell directly to pachi enthusiasts. Hopefully something comes from this...

Yes. I would be interested in some parlor related items. Like flags and posters ect. If the price is reasonable ofcourse. I would of bought one from Arby but the ones he had didn't relate to any of my games. I would realy really really be interested in one of those Saynko pachinko cleaners like Arby and LP have.
Thanks

unfortunatly no.....nice idea but

the bristles arnt long enough to get in between the nails and over the nails also there isnt the jet of air that the pica claener produces to dry the wax part of the solution that you use for cleaning

may be if i can fill a box saves on the postage in the long run

The company that made them closed a few years back, so to get them now is only if someone sells one on YJA and it doesn't go cheap.

Also postage from Japan for about anything but slow boat (1 to 2 months) will be in the $14 to $20 range if very light weight, like a pachinko flag or folded up poster, even the key chain will set you back around $10 for slow air mail.

no won't work.
The brissle are about three inches long and they don't rotate, they vibbrate and there is a fan behind blowing air to dry the polish wax and pick up the cleaner.

A hand brush (with long stiff brissles) would work better and have a fan blowing air at the same time

Well parlors still need to clean pachinkos. What do they use now?

As dirty as I have gotten of late, I think they cycle them out before they do any cleaning on the inside

Nice I know a guy with family serving in Japan, we have discussed sending some stuff back using the military shipping, what would be of interest, after cleaning my machines the Pica cleaner is starting to look very good.

I would be interested. Especially in magazines. In all the Japanese Bookstores and online sites that offer magazine subs... I never see any pachi related ones.
