Good deal on a coin door?
« on: November 21, 2016, 08:59:29 am »
Local purchase $25.

Only one coin mech which is set to take tokens, no locks, wiring looks complete, things look clean.

Did i get a good deal, or should i try and resell and get my money back?

Fairly standard cash and carry local pricing. I charge around the same when I have them.

The fact it's already wired is enough to make it a good deal.

Well, it can sit around in the basement for a couple of months till i can wear her down, if she doesn't agree right away.

That price was $25 Canadian, btw..... what does that equal these days $11.50 USD?

Make all your plans in advance, and build the whole thing one day while she is gone.

I doubt she would be begging and pleading and wearing you down if she wanted an end table, and an arcade game takes up the same amount of space.

True enough, the coffee table I made for her had a much larger footprint.

Nice coffee table!    I ordered a brand new coin door with Canadian quarter mechs from the playdium store after exhausting all local resources.  It cost me almost $300 Canadian with shipping.  You got a great deal.  Now I have 3 complete coin doors and only paid for that one lol.

Coin Doors... they aint cheap... but complete the look.

As a fellow Canadian, I commend you... but am slightly jealous. I don't see much come up for sale around me... definitely not $25 coin doors  :censored:

I've given thought to making something DIY, but everytime I hear bout these gems in the wild, I just remain patient.
