    Default Where to go to get info to come up with a fair price on machines

    Hi all,

    Well I haven't been on here much in over 5 years. I can't believe how fast time flies. I'm planning on moving next year and need to clear out my machines after talking about it for years. They are all in excellent shape but are older models so I have no idea how to price them. I'm in Michigan and don't want to make arrangements for shipping, would be pick up only.

    So here are the machines I have that I'm interested in selling and would need to establish pricing:
    Pachinkos
    -Indiana Jones
    -Evangelion
    -Thunder Zone (silver frame)
    -Julie Fever the Pinball (just the board)

    Pachislos
    Sinbad Adventure
    Blackjack
    Super Blackjack

    Also have the kit from Arby to take care of pin straightening and board polisher.

    Any info you have would be much appreciated. Have a great one!
    Paul

    My 2 cents:
    Indiana Jones $250-300
    Evangelion $150-200
    Thunder Zone $100-120
    Julie cell: $150-200

    Not sure about pachislos

    Hey thanks for the response, I appreciate it. I have a mistake in my list above, I don't have Evangelion, it's a Space Battleship Yamato

    Probably worth about the same; more niche appeal than Indiana Jones or something more commonly recognized; people go nuts for the Star Wars one obviously.

    The Julie cell could start an eBay bidding war maybe? Here or FB marketplace is best place to buy; and sell in my opinion. There may be more money to be made on ebay though if you don’t mind the hassle of shipping.

    If I was closer I'd snatch that Yamato up in a heartbeat. If for some reason you come a few hundred miles closer to NC I'd want to buy it for sure but as it stands the only vehicle I have that is good gas mileage would require strapping the machine to my back.

    Thanks for your interest Mooseman. I think I have a buyer for the Yamato. Any interest in the Julie Pinball cell? That I could ship no prob.

    At first I was only interested in Yamato, but after looking at the Julie pinball one thats super neat! I'm very very new to pachinko; if its just the cell what else would I need to get to get it playable? I'm not sure where to source a frame for it so it might not make financial sense to have to buy and ship both parts unless I can get a frame for cheap.

    Hey there, you would need a Lumina frame, so it would make more sense for you to buy a pachinko in a lumina frame the you can swap cells out.

    Ah ok. Well in that case I'll have to come back whenever I've found one; but if I do come across a frame or a cell I want to swap I'll definitely let you know.
