Only for New/First Buyers/owners Pachinko. Special FAQ topic.

[mrdummy]

I have some interest in pachinko (some models i perhaps want buy if can, but first some question to all Pachinko owners.

1. If there is NEW Pachinko out in Japan and you want get one. How can you get the new Pachinko (for example ordering from manufacturer website or from one of the importeurs / special vendors). Can we buy one new model? Do they ship outside Japan or not? Or do you call some friends in Japan to get it first? Possible or impossible?
How long should they produce new Pachinkos? For some months, at-once-production- batch or only on order?

2. For old (modern) Pachiko's which are out of interest or just old, where can you find them before they're disassembled or recycled to parts? Are they on Ebay or only by special vendors?

3. Which websites / vendors are good to find / buy the Pachinko? You can group them in:
3a. New Pachinko's (manufacturer / special vendors in Japan)
3b. Used Pachinko's (just removed from Pachinko halls, still in Japan)
3c. Used Pachinko's specially imported (Imported to another countries, to another vendors. Outside Japan!)
3d. Used Pachinko's owned by normal people (Ebay, marketplace sites, some vendors)

Now i have price questions:
A. Which price has the new Pachinko average?
B. Which price has used / removed Pachinko average? (vendors in Japan)
C. Which price has pre-owned Pachinko (from Ebay / importers / venders outside Japan)

S1. What is the average size of whole Pachino case and what is the shipping weight?
S2. If you order it from Japan, what is the best postage service for Pachinko to import one? What are the costs average? Not only for America, but also for Europe shipping.

Please make it more clear for new / first time users. Then we can see what the chances are and what it may costs total for us. Especially for new pachinkos in Japan is mostly more work to get one.
Thank you very much.
