Thanks, that site is great! I couldn't find it through your link, but this one worked:

http://www.watchcount.com/completed.php?bkw=Pink+Sweets+arcade&bcat=0&bcts=&sfsb=Show+Me!&csbin=all&cssrt=ts&bfw=1&bslr=&bnp=&bxp=#serp

$850 is a killer deal. Feels like 2008 all over again. Congrats to whoever nabbed it.

UPDATE: If a deal is too good to be true, it probably is. Check out the negative feedback for this transaction:

Next time someone offers a beat-up Pink Sweets PCB for $850, steer clear.

Thank you for finding this link, it is so nice that it has been preserved after all these years! BTW, although they do not mention or show Ichimura in the text or box photos on that page, in the background image the labels for all three boxes (Ikeda, Wakabayashi AND Ichimura) are shown. 

Well spotted. My memory of that page is a little different, I could've sworn all three were pictured originally. Perhaps they sold out of Ichimura first, who knows.

EDIT: A little bit of detective work reveals the page is still up 
http://www.try-inc.co.jp/pcb_shop/dodon/pachi.htm

No mention of numbers or Ichimura.

Updated with more info/corrections. Still need pics of several kits, if anyone would like to help out. 

I have a full Esprade kit with matching serials (pcb & box). I have the poster as well so I can snap a few pics if you want.

It took 4 months and a very slight price drop for them to sell this PCB (starting price was 432,000 yen back on November 20th).

Pink Sweets PCB + original art/inst sold for 177,000 yen at Suruga-ya:

https://www.suruga-ya.jp/product/detail/181001141001

It was over 20% off during a special sale yesterday (regular price was 228,000 yen) so I snapped a picture of it. Sure enough, it sold not too long after.

This PCB first went up for sale at Suruga-ya 7 months ago. It originally started at 298,000 yen, and the price was gradually reduced every few months.
