Arcade Japan - Pricing Adjustment

[Devil Soundwave]

So it seems that in many cases, those cheeky scamps at Arcade World UK (http://tinyurl.com/pt8ae6l) have dropped their prices on Sanwa / Seimitsu goods this month.

These price cuts have been anything but arbitrary; no, in some cases the cuts have been frankly massive (for example, a Sanwa GT-Y Gate was an eye-watering £4.75, and is now a still-not-exactly-cheap £3.59 including VAT).

The fact that AWUK have been able to slash prices so dramatically across the board is, in my opinion, largely down to the fact that up until now, they have been simply taking advantage of a lack of any real UK based competition and their prices were ludicrously high.

Interestingly, their new price-point on a great many items had brought them to be a few pennies below published Arcade Japan prices. Coincidence? Despite this, their sticks were still more expensive than ours despite huge price-drops (Sanwa JLF-TP-8YT now costs £17.99 at AWUK, but has always been £15.25 at Arcade Japan (in stock again soon!).

Whilst Arcade Japan is still in it's fledgling stages (only ten months old) and undeniably has less stock than some other sites, I remain committed to providing the best Asian arcade parts at the lowest prices, and as such, every single instance where Arcade World UK has attempted to undercut Arcade Japan on price has now been remedied, and as such we remain the cheapest place in Europe to purchase pretty much everything we sell. In fact, we have been told several times that even with shipping to the USA/Canada we can work out cheaper.

If you find any item we sell cheaper elsewhere (including postage), do let us know and we will investigate.
