    Default Sanyo "Little Mermaids" Pachinko Machine - $1995 (Tuscon, AZ)

    Better hurry before this guy comes to his senses! He paid $3,900 USD + another $89 in shipping four years ago. He's also throwing in 2000 balls.

    Maybe I should sell my Super Sea Story to make room for this killer deal!

    LMAO!!! There are two parts that really amuse me:

    "...have an authentic gambling machine, as if you were in Las Vegas." Maybe I'm just ignorant, but does anyone know where in Vegas there is a pachinko parlor? I never saw any when I was there years ago!

    "Video in the center surrounded by a thousand LED swirling lights."

    A thousand LED swirling lights? Really? Even if they were small LEDs, wouldn't that pretty much take up most of the playfield?

    I really love these sellers who sell machines like they are selling a used car. Oy!

    I emailed the seller to see if he has any pictures, I'll try calling in the morning to get the lowdown. I'll keep you updated when I find out something. BTW I can pick this up & ship it if anyone is interested

    Latest email (FYI I never answered the first email)
    Paul W, I wouldn't waste your time. I'm sure you'd fall in love with
    this machine. I need the money to cover my moves (3) in the last three
    months. Call me and we can set up a spot to plug it in and show you
    how well it works. 520-241-0054 or 520-408-3398 (H). I'll look at all
    offers !!

    Should I really tell him what his sea story is really worth or say no thanks?

    Ask him to describe the game in more detail; are there any markings on it?

    Then tell him that you have been researching Pachinkos on eBay and the internet and are having a very hard time finding one selling for anything close to what he is asking. Then ask him what makes this pachinko worth $2,000.

    Show the seller this ad and see if it's the same machine.
