Son of a B$tch!
The picture in the auction is a frame grab from the video takethecastle57 posted!
The SOB doesn't even have the Pachinko to sell!
FRAUD! SCAMMER!

Your totally right. The balls are in motion in the ebay picture. They took a screen shot of the video!

I sent him a nasty email and reported him to Ebay!

Good job guys ! They deserve to be reported Fraud scum

I've heard the term "fishing for a sucker" before, but that's ridiculous.

One born every minute... P.T. Barnum (allegedly)

I guess this potential fraudster thought that pachinko was just obscure enough to pull this off on some unfortunate, unsuspecting victim...

He didn't count on the men and women of pachitalk.com

As of a few minutes ago, the listing was still up and running, so I reported it as well. Maybe if enough of us hammer away on him, they'll listen.

[heima]

Reported it as well.

Bad, bad dog!

I noticed it earlier today but the ad appears to be gone now. However, I do have one of these very rare Pachinko machines as well and will sell it at the ridiculously low price of $2500.00 including shipping to anywhere in the world.

Anyone wanting to make some extra cash? ... Any takers? ... $6500.00 in your pocket! ... C'mon don't be shy!

[cardwwi]

I really don't mind if anybody uses the stuff I put on line, I like to help others. But ask first! As long as it is not an misrepresentation I will most likely give my OK,

[pachiwall]

Even if it was for real...for that money, I would want a pre war pachinko!

[Drunkenclam]

Now that is a thing of beauty

[browne92]

[p.opus]

That is an amazing machine...

I love how many people misuse the term "antique" when listing their machines. They use the "antique" moniker the same way they assign it to a car. Antique cars are cars that are older than 25 years old, so the same applies to pachinkos right??? Nope. 80 to 100 years guys. Hell, If that were true, my Hanemono would be an antique...

[Card Shark]

Even if it was for real...for that money, I would want a pre war pachinko!

Wow, that is incredible!!!

[heima]

Wow, that is incredible!!!

Yes, it is. But it has some interesting aspects to it. It has a military theme, yet the flags are of Taiwan?
And it is the island of Taiwan in the shooter lane.
And the large airplane appears to be a jet, I don't see a propeller.
Is this a Japanese pachinko?
Or is it a Taiwan repurposing?

[pachiwall]

Not to hijack the thread...but one pic of that machine is a tease! I wish It were mine, but at least it belongs to a member! Here is the link of full details! 1940s pachinko photos

[heima]

Wow, Pachinko can be historic propaganda tools!

[GFire]

Hey Carl you didn't mention that the machine I had was this same machine.... lol I should tell the guy I bought it from for $30 he missed out. Some one should write screen play about this scammer and all the Pachi People taking him down. Funny and Sad all at the same time. Now I feel honored to have one of the Three Hundred (or Thousand) machines.

took a spin around ebay this afternoon and there seem to be more than the usual amount of $500-$100k priced machines ("as-is, may not work).

good grief!

!!!!Greed!!!! Sigh I’m all for making a buck. But to stick some unknown potential pachinko enthusiasts wannabe it’s wrong.
