Best place to buy a Pop'n Music Machine

Keithejr · 12-24-2007, 11:39 AM

Hi everyone, this is my first post.

A couple friends and I are opening a photo sticker store in Sawtelle Los Angeles which is not tooo far from UCLA. If you want more details on that let me know but i'm not advertising here what I really need is some advice!!

We want to get a pop'n music machine and a Taiko no Tatsujin machine in there. Anyone purchased from Coinopexpress or ChannelBeat before? Are they good companies to deal with? Anyone have any recommendations for the best place to buy the machine from? ChannelBeat said they could get me Taiko no Tatsujin 9 for 10 thousand and Pop'n Music 14 for 11 thousand but it seems like Coinopexpress can beat the Pop'n Music price. Are there better vendors out there?

Thanks!!
Keith

I have never personally bought anything from either, but i can say coinopexpress has decent coustomer service, as i inquired about a Supernova machine when they were on sale and the got back to me the next day. I have never heard anything good about channel beat, so if i were you id go with coinopexpress. the only problem is they are located over seas so shipping is more of a problem

I've heard horror stories from both. Keep in mind that they don't stock machines, they will just try to find them when an order is processed. So this could mean you could wait months for them to find it, or you could be lucky and they may find it quick. There prices are variable, and customer service is not that good. Also, you need to take into consideration the cost of oversees shipping (1 grand) and customs into the US (about 400-500 dollars when it is said in done) In the end that Taiko/Pop'n Machine, will end up cost 1,500 more than what is listed.

There really isn't an easy option for getting Bemani into the states, but if you want to buy my Pop'n 14 machine for 10 grand, I'll sell it

Actually, I also have a pop'n 14 machine for sale. PM me if you're interested. It would be wiser to purchase from someone within the states than from either of those companies anyways.
