Driving from Michigan to California - Looking for Pachi's

[Bartsimpson]

I am moving from Michigan to California and looking to pick up a pachi or two or 5 along the way. I will be traveling through these major cities so if you live close to or are relatively close to the path I will be traveling feel free to shoot me an offer. If you type in Lawrence, MI to Costa Mesa, CA on Map Quest that is the route I will be taking.

Chicago - IL
Des Moines - Iowa
Omaha - NE
Lincoln - NE
Denver - CO
Grand Junction - CO
Las Vegas - NV

I have a total of 8 machines currently. 3 Pachislo's and 5 Pachinko's.

I am willing to trade part of my $5K online retail business. Which sold trading cards. HUGE collection of stuff. Just message if interested. I would be willing to give 4x merchandise to CASH. Or cash.

I am looking for reasonably priced machines that either have a full LCD screen and/or touch screen for the pachislo's or newer LCD/Animatronics for the Pachinko's. I want to keep my collection on par with what I already have and do not want to get something less desirable that I already have. If you look at my albums section under my profile it should give a good example of what I am looking for.

PM me or message me back on here. I will try and keep an eye on the site. I move in 6 days, so let me know at your earliest convenience and we can try to put together a deal.

Good Luck!!

[Bartsimpson]

Thank You! I am really excited actually. Not just for the move but I am going to be re-united with my Pachi's that were left back in Denver 2 years ago when I moved to Michigan. so on our way back through I get to pick them up. I have had half of them but it will be nice to have the whole lot back together again.

I am in Denver, so let me know a date when you will be coming through. I have lots of vintages to pick from, but it sounds like you are more interested in moderns. That being said, it would be nice to meet a fellow PachiTalker, if only for a short while.

I'll keep an eye on Craigslist for you and post any modern machines I find advertised along your route.

You are awesome JEFF. Thank You! I will be coming through Saturday Evening. Staying overnight and then leaving the following morning. I wish I would have initially bought/ received a vintage machine but because I was introduced to modern pachinko initially it is hard for me to get an older one. I know I will eventualy get at least one. BUT to be honest it is like looking at a 26" 1990's tube TV vs a Brand NEW 72" LED 3D HDTV.

We don't need any more pickers here in So Cal.



Nice to see your making a move out here. Almost always nice weather. (no snow) There are quite a few moderns for sale around here a few that are fairly reasonably priced. Don't worry I won't snag those though. I only want the vintage machines.

[Bartsimpson]

mxfaiman - seeing as you like the vintage machines... I think we will get along just fine.

"fairly reasonably priced"... People think vintage machines are worth $500+ here in Michigan. I really do hope I can snag a few great deals in Cali. Or along the way. Seeing as I will be getting 4 of my machines back in Denver, it is already a WIN in my book.

[mxfaiman]

Here is what is for sale fairly locally.

Everything you see there is about 30 min (or less) away.

[Bartsimpson]

I know it is a waste of my time to email these people. But some of them really make me mad. Especially the ones... "I payed $3500 when it was brand new in China and I am practically giving it away @ $950. First come first serve. This one won't last at this price."

MAKES ME SO MAD.

[Bartsimpson]

Thanks for the link. Quite a few nice machines. I am going to keep an eye on this link though.
I want to know who pays $599 for a vintage machine, and why.

Not sure. I am still wondering who is trying to sell it.
