New Product! Replacement Coin Mech "Any Coin Mech"!

[bheineck]

I'd rather hand out quarters.

Great product... I'd love to buy and convert to tokens aside from the fact it would take me $700+ to convert my collection.

Have you considered a trade-in discount option for standard mechs?

Well the question I have is what incentive is there to buy when you charging the same price or more that the real coin/token mech's cost each?

Ditto. Too expensive to consider for a sizable collection. Great idea though! I like how it has multiple ramps to make it sound more authentic. Is it me though or does it sound much more tinny than regular mechs? Maybe it's just the way it comes across in the video.

Move over sliced bread!

Very cool indeed, but cannot afford...

If there was a plastic option under $5, you'd have people throwing their money at you.

Well, if you go out and buy Quarter Mechs, then decide later you want to use Tokens, you either have to convert all your mechs (if you can), or you have to buy a whole new set.

What would you consider a more reasonable price?

True, True. I'm surprised that our local vacuum former hasn't come up with something similar.

I'll buy some regardless. I've got some mechs that aren't 100% reliable after conversion and these will be a perfect replacement. I'm with Friz, I'd love to do all of them but at over $500 I just can't do it.

 

[Arcadenut]

Ok, let me know what kind of quantities everyone would need and I'll talk to the guy making these for me and see what kind of a discount we can get.

The pricing is based upon small quantities being made at one time. If I get a better idea of quantities desired, I can get a better price.

If you want $5 each, I know it would probably take ordering probably 1,000 of them (but I would have to check to make sure first).

 

[1badv6]

I'd need 38 if I replaced both coin mechs.

Here is a quick and dirty Video showing it in action...

Not enough "dirty" in this video, BTW.

I could arrange for a bikini-clad hottie to come and "show it off," for a video, if you'd like... Get a lot more hits and interest, for sure.

Even at $18 each I plan to buy a few but if the price point was lower, I would certainly buy more.

I like this idea. It would be especially cool if you have kids and have them use it as a fun piggy bank. My uncle used to have pinball machines set up for quarters, and my cousins would dump their money in and eventually get to go buy something cool with their "earnings". You can't always find a quarter though, so I think being able to use any coin to play encourages them to toss in whatever change they can scrape up. It would be interesting to see how much money you could save up after a while... every little bit adds up!

QFT...

$240 is a much more manageable number...

For how many Mechs?

Great idea and a great looking product. I'd love to convert all my cabs to use these but that's a problem at this price point. With any sizeable collection at $30+ per cab the total soon racks up to a painful level. For me that's going to be close to $700 + shipping. I'd love to support this product but that's just too much to contemplate at the moment.

[Todd31]

I would need 110 of these. I am curious what would that cost me? It would have to be better than $30 a cab or it just doesn't make sense for me.

Thanks

I've updated the pricing. The cost is now between $12 and $10. If anyone needs more then 250 of them, let me know.

With the new pricing, the cost would be $22 per game.
