    I like how you have to pay shipping if the bids don't go over $5000, but if the bids do go over $7500 then you are in luck! Free Shipping!

    Gotta love all of the support from the Pachinko Lovers here, This business has done over $7900 since January when the URLs were registered. I have been doing this work on a smaller scale for 8 years, I am also moving to Texas where I would in no way want to compete with another reconditioner. (Bill Connelly)

    I am guessing most people in this group do their own maintenance and re-conditioning, so you would not be the customers of this business. That is why it is not advertised here.

    Remember the people who use my service are not PachinkoHeads like ourselves. I recover used machines that someone has left in their garage for 20 years. They are grateful and willing to pay for the service.

    Yes you too can start a business of doing the same thing, but you did not. It's not about the machines and their value. Its about the service provided.

    I would like someone to continue doing this business from this side of the country. I have dealt with Bill Connolly (Pachinkoman) in the past and we both agree it is an asset to this field to have multiple people doing this service.

    I joined this group to watch what goes on between other pachinko gamers. I have found out.

    I am guessing since you made this statement my previous reply may not show up on the forum.

    If so please let me know I would be happy to remove myself from this group.

    well here is the thing Jon, all New user posts are put in a moderation queue by the forums software, this is to avoid issues with people spamming the board with Viagra ads porn ads whatever.. i have no reason to censor anyones posts just because they disagree with me.. heck we all disagree on things.

    as for your other comment, no one is asking you to leave but im not going to force you to stay either.

    I think your points are well taken Jon... and I have no bias on this matter, but honestly, when I read your ad, I got the same impression. High price for not much going on. I think you did a disservice to yourself by putting in the $700 figure and the wording that accompanies it. It appears that is the dollar amount that you have made to-date and of course, any businessman would scoff at that amount of return on his investment.

    Good luck on your sale. There is a definite need for someone with expertise in this area.

    Jon never take anything that is posted here seriously. You should have heard the rants about a vintage machine I fixed up and sold on e-bay for over 300. They wanted to know if the pins were brass or gold. LOL

    Good luck with your auction. I agree the more people who can restore these beauties back to new the more novice users will get hooked on them.
