Hard Bargain Hunting!

[AkaReaper]

I have limited resources, been trying to find a pachinko on ebay, and these puppies are hard to find. At least for an inexpensive price. Looks like the selection is limited too. I guess I have to keep looking. Whats a good generic basic machine to get?

[jwegger]

I search for sellers that are close to me. Some of them are not willing to ship and you can get a good price on the machine because other people that are intersted in it can't pick it up or if they are willing to ship you may save on the shipping.

What's your price range? I am guessing you are wanting newer? I usually just type Pachinko in ebay and then watch the ones I am interested in.

Well, I managed to get my pachislo's off ebay really cheap. 102 for my Outlaw, 81 for my Mephisto, and 71 for my Azteca Legends. Of course, not including shipping. So, I was hoping NOT to spend more than 100 for the machine and with shipping no more than 160 total. But it looks like that wil be hard to do.

The model availability is really slim as well. But I guess thats part of the game. There are a few I really like, but price puts them outta my range. I really like the yellow cab, LOL. Actually the 777, the rescue dog, the fever king look cool. I don't really get into the batman and stuff.

I think your right by just watching ebay then. I am with you. My budget is mostly ebay prices too.

Slotusa usually closes their auctions at the same time,

you may be able to snipe one close to your price.

The best thing you can do is just keep watching ebay.

Here are some modern machines that have gone pretty cheap on ebay in the last few weeks.

FEVER QUEEN $100,$88, Double Wing $106, Big Shooter $98,$81, Japanese New Year $109, Gachinko 7 $81,
Dragon Monkey $103

Thanks everyone. I'm going to wait out ebay and see what I can snipe. I'm anxious to get one of these pachinko machines, I have never seen one in person. Looks like fun.

[AkaReaper]

Man, this is rough. Sneeze and ya lose out quick, LOL. I guess I may have a better chance if I raise my spending limit a tad. But its sport, LOL.

If you're patient, you will get one at the price you want. If you lose a few that's OK because there's always more being listed every day.

I'm having a hard time finding video's of pachinko's even in the museum, are there any out there?

[AkaReaper]

LOL, guess ya have to scroll down, LOL

Here's one that went for a bargain price http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...MEWA%3AIT&rd=1

Wow! It sure did! I have always liked that case too.

[AkaReaper]

I did it! no I didn't kill another pachi (may my azteca rest in peace). I tried for weeks to snipe a decent Pachinko machine, did not get one I really really wanted, LOL, but landed a Super Action 777 for 120 bucks. I'm not sure if I overpaid or not. I have a few others in mind, will continue my sniping. Is this machine any good or did I buy a new boat anchor?

[luckydog]

it's in the museum, here's a link http://translate.google.com/translat...language_tools

Sounds like you got a good price to me.

Here's a link with some stuff that should get you excited about your new Gachinko 7.

Thanks for the great link, but now I'm over anxious to get it, LOL. And thesad thing, I now want to build a 4 sided or 3 sided cabinet and mount 3 in a nice fancy fashion, so now its off to snipe 2 more machines. These things are worse than crack, at least you can kick that habit, LOL.

AHhhh… another one that will trade his children for Pachinkos
