Question
how much does a old chinese or japanese pin ball machne sell for? Where do find the value & a place to sell it?

Answer
Hi Sandy, good morning to you!

   These machines sell somewhere around the 100.00 figure, the best place might just be ebay auction or a local auction or garage sale, or maybe wholesale to an antique or junk shop. There is one on ebay right now, it's at;
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=14282&item=6105550750&rd=...

These machines don't sell for much because I think there's a bunch of them over here. You can run a search on ebay for them and get a feel for what there selling for.
Good Luck and good day.

Sincerely

Expertise

I am an expert on old coin operated machines, slot machines, trade stimulator's, jukeboxes, old arcade machines, etc. I have been identifying these for people who respond to my web site listed below, for a few years now. In almost all cases I am able to tell them about their old coin operated machines, the year, the value, and other general information about their machines. I do not know much about soda vending machines, coin banks, or scales, but I will try to help you with these if I can.

Experience

I bought my first slot machine, a .50 Cent Mills Black Cherry in 1969 and have been hooked from that time, I still have that Slot machine! Before that I found a open barrel full of old scraped jukebox wall boxes behind a restaurant, I wanted them all but never took a one of them. Anything that took a coin drove me nuts!
