Macro Houkoku Chance Ball

[lotsoballs]

I saw this interesting model arrange ball on eBay; very rare to see one on eBay….seller claims it works though! Figured I’d share (not my machine)

Wonder how long it will last? priced high at $750 obo but it is eBay after all! Local pickup only :

A little "Crusty" for me in the rust situation .

Got one of those automatic "offers" ebay does these days for $599.69..

[lotsoballs]

Now it’s marked down to a much more reasonable price; $400 obo

It probably would have sold already if they offered shipping; but can’t really blame them for being hesitant to ship such a heavy yet fragile item.

I know nothing about arrangeball machines. Is it an unusual enough machine to make a 1000 mile each way road trip to obtain?

I'm no expert, I just know they're pretty hard to come by. I've only got one of them myself and I drove about 5-6 hours roundtrip to get it, but didn't pay anywhere near that much for it, then again, the seller couldn't say if it worked or not (got lucky, it worked!).

They are very hard to come by; it might take years for one to pop up locally depending on what part of the country you are in. 1000 miles one way is a bit too far for me; 200 miles is about my maximum radius for pachinko road trips unless it’s Compirate’s house I’m going to.

Probably better off to message the seller and use your negotiation skills or bribe them into letting FedEx pack it for them and ship?? I had luck with this method for an arrangeball outside my 200 mile radius once; from the DC area, too far for me.

I've done something similar for a couple pachinkos.

This is the same one who posted on Reddit a couple days ago...seller was quoted a $200 value for it (which I think is perhaps a bit low if it really is fully working, rust or not). If the seller was somewhere within a 4- to 5-hour drive, I'd probably drive for it.

4,000 miles from me on the other side of America !

[emmadog]

i spoke with the seller just to let him know what he had. if anyone is interested in it then i'd definitely ask him if all the functions work properly. i told him to go through and check all that stuff but i don't see that mentioned in the listing. also told him the 600 balls weren't needed.

Looks like someone got this for a best offer!!

Now that it sold, instead of local pickup only listed, there is a quote of $197 to ship to Florida via USPS
