Who's a good pachi dealer these days?

[gottac]

I sure hope I am not the $400 seller your talking about, becuase I am not just selling a pachinko w/ 250 balls.

Always compare apples with apples

[luckydog]

the shipping charges are like sticker shock when you first look at the latest goodies.

after you buy a few, you just get used to them.

Same thing happens when buying from YJA.
"Hey, look at the $30 machine I got!" then $400+ later...

[arbycoffee]

$30 machine becomes $500 in your door and now you need to get it ready for the USA

[The13bats]

Ah man, you poking at me because I didn't jump on your machine?

I am talking about the venders in the business not a private person,

I can pick up several older models for 100.00 each from private sellers.

I wasn't even talking bout Pichinko prices but I was talking about Pachislo and yes I know this is in a Pichinko thread but some importers sell both, and it applies to both machines.

While you are correct that you have extras with your machine
Lots more balls and a really sweet custom cabinet
I haven't seen anyone trying to get 400.00 for the Indy machine and since I have been looking around in all due respects to you I really don't see anyone paying 400.00 for Indy,

A fast peek at Ebay, shows Indy for 279.95 and higher than average shipping of 98.00 for a total of 377.95
Some venders may sweeten the pot with extra balls, and you have the custom cabinet that won't help if you need to ship it,
Indy is Indy So I believe I was keeping apples with apples

I am ready to buy some machines both new pachinko's and Pachislo
If the theme isn't one I like a lot the price would have to be better than what I consider going rate, some folks have a far bigger budget than I do,

If you had offered Indy for what it was worth to me I would have been all over it.

I have pretty much decided that I want to start with Julie the pinball and then to Jaws and maybe Starwars, Indy wasn't high on my list even though it looks great fun,

In the Pachislo I want to start with Tomb Raider then I like a couple of the machines like Arraking and King of King Pulsar.

Shipping is horrible and I just wonder if the local sellers tack on to the retail price what mail order sellers have to forfeit for shipping,
Cheers,
P.

PS, I'm confused all I have seen so far claim to be ready for USA play, is this not the case?
If I can get a 30 dollar machine I can get it ready for USA play.

[gottac]

Poking at you?? hmmmm...

Good luck with your quest, and lots of friends to you.

[The13bats]

My mistake a lot gets lost in type
You just seemed almost offended with your comment to me and I wasn't even talking about Pachinko much less yours,
Thanks for the wish of luck, it would seem to be something of a buyers market, and I have plenty of friends but err, ok, whatever you say,
Good luck with your sale, why not post it in the auction section on here?
Cheers,
P.

... I can't take the suspense. Will bats find a machine? ... Will gottac sale his machine??? Will an asteroid hit Mars???

[The13bats]

John you ever notice be it cars guns games whatever most people want the lowest price when buying and the highest price when selling,

A person will only pay what it's worth to them,
If they want it badly they might pay more than "going rate"

Don't worry I will find the machines I seek at the prices I desire to pay and Gottac will sell his at the price he feels he need to get out of it,

All is good :katebush:

what I was hoping this thread would do is stir up people to leave feedback both good and bad with the companies they dealt with,

Cheers,
P.

[johntofva]

That is all good... But what about Mars???


Cheers...
______________________________________________________
As far as good dealers... Arby and Gaku are the best.
______________________________________________________
As far as the cheapest... That would be panchinko and whatever their other name was on ebay. I received a Galaxy Railway from them for about $65 plus shipping.

[The13bats]

I guess you dont want discovery channel,
Mars gets hit a fair amount,

But I wonder what that has to do with the price of machines in China...er Japan...

I have seen Gak where is Arby listed?

[johntofva]

Arby sales mostly here on pachitalk these days. He specializes in the newest of machines.

[The13bats]

Is there a sale list here?

I couldnt find the top ten list either,

Is Arby competitive on pricing?

[johntofva]

With Arby, you buy quality . He does however will have some very, very nice sales.

He currently has an incredible buy on pachi flags in the auction site.

No is the answer to all three.

With me you are talking Tree Apples to road apples.

[arbycoffee]

in pachinkos It is what you want I get. . . . . but it will cost ya

I deal in New machines ands Demo machines, not the ones used in pachinko parlors.

[fronzdan]

I heard NASA launched a container of Million Gods towards Mars...that's better than an asteroid hit.

now that would be cool to watch

[The13bats]

That is pretty cool, brand new and demos, I am betting they are bucks up, one machine probably costs more than several used machines,

Someone told me for example a "new" Tomb Raider is a couple grand over the 100 bucks or so you can seem to score one off Ebay for.

I ran into something like that when I was trying to buy that Horror Mansion,
They first told me 249 then 229 Seems they said the reason the price was so high on it was it was a "demo" with no cigarette burns at all and they had never seen one before without burns.so I told them I would take it they replied back, "Sorry , sold 10 mins ago"

I am sure you get some super nice machines but I will have to settle for those road apples so I can afford to buy several machines as I want variety.

The top 10 list ...when I asked about the favorite machines someone suggested I look at the top 10 lists here, I couldnt find them, let me guess they are right in front of me...lol

Cheers,

[luckydog]

it all depends on what theme you like

everyones taste is different

personally I like anime theme machines and or larger screens best
