How much is a bowling pinsetter?

Answer 1

The average cost for a new 8280 pinsetter is around 8500.00 to 10,000.00 depending where you purchase it. You can also buy re-manufactured Brunswick model a2 pisetter for around 8500.00 each. That's only for the pinsetter, you would still need to purchase the 60 ft wood or sinthetic lane plus a ball return scoring equipment ect. All that considered you would have an investment of close to 15000,00.00 to 20,000.00 per lane.

Answer 2

Bowling pins vary at about $150 per 10, that's $15 a pop.

10 for $160-$175 shipped is typical.

Used Pins...for SHOOTING AT (yes, with guns people) can vary. $1-$5 each is fair.

Shipping will be the killer.

They ought to be changed in a "normal" Bowling alley every 6 months; That said, MANY alleys get years out of them. Terrible, as the wood inside loses it's LIFE...and then the "action" of the pins "exploding" when they are hit with the ball....is lost.

Not good if you are a good bowler. I have some video of "pin shooting" on YouTube, if interested.
