Coin mechs- CHEAP!
« on: February 13, 2006, 08:22:03 am »
I am offering coin mechs in packs of ten for 6.50 + 7.00 S/H for folks in the US.

You can choose between metal and plastic mechs. Brands include Happ, Ilco, Coin Mech inc. and Coin Controls. You choose the brand, and I pack them as ordered. Want ten Happ mechs? A mix of all brands? Not a problem.

I have between 150-200 mechs of all makes.

First PMed, first served. PayPal preferred. If you have any questions, just ask!

Would you ship to Canada?

Sure, I don't mind shipping to Canada, but I'm not sure what shipping would be. The package typically weighs ~4.5 LBS. I'll investigate so I can give you an accurate price quote.

I assume you live in Hamilton, Ontario? If so, I get 13.32 shipping from UPS to there.

Are any of them programmable so that they can accept several different types of coin?

"Programmable" as in "bend the metal rocker arm to accept different sized coins", then yes. Some have plastic rocker arms that can be extracted in order to accept any coin.

 But these are all mechanical mechs, so they are not "programmable" in the modern sense of the word (through some sort of software or DIP configuration).

There are very few Happ mechs left. As a subsitute, consider the Ilco mechs, which are the EXACT SAME as the Happ mechs except for the sticker.

Thanks!

Well... I don't know. Right now they are being sold for .65c a piece in packs of ten. If I sold 4 at that price, that would be... 2.60.

Hm. Tell you what, I'll sell you 4 for .65c a piece, but the shipping price stands (7.00). So, 9.60$ gets you four mechs.

Thanks!

I have sold 160 mechs in 16 hours. Amazing! Thanks to everyone.

Every order or questions should have gotten a response. If you didn't hear from me, PM me again and I'll make sure you get what you need.

Ah, I love this community.

Thank you, everyone.

I have some set aside for those who have PMed me already (Silverwind, Q*Bert, Jeffo et. al)  but any future orders are subject to availability until I replentish my stock ( a week or so).

Thanks!

I received a letter from a fellow BYAOCer. It is as follows:

Quote
Hello. Enclosed is the 13.50 for the Ten Coin mechs. I prefer happ or coin controls if available.
Please sent them to :

John xxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Riverbank, CA 95367

If you have any questins, please PM me on BYAOC. Thanks!

Two problems--- The sender did not include his BYAOC handle, nor did he enclose 13.50... just the letter. If this is you or you might know who this is, PLEASE LET ME KNOW so we can get this squared away. Thanks!

OMG!!!!
I was getting all excited about this thread until I finally looked at the dates of posting...

Is there a proper term for bumpimg a thoroughly dead thread?

This might not be a thoroughly dead thread.  Although it was quite a while ago that I got my mechs from APFelon, he seemed to indicate he had an almost infinite supply of them.  I wouldn't be afraid to PM him.  Oh, and he is great to deal with!
