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.
I have worked in the Bowling industry since 1976.

∙ 12y agoBowling 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.

What is the bowling machine called?
There are four machines at a bowling center. The big one is the pinsetter. It does three things: sets a new rack of pins onto the lane deck at the start of the frame, sweeps pins from the lane after each ball is thrown, and returns balls to the bowler. Next is the ball return. It lifts the ball from the return track to the ball rack, and holds balls not being played. Third is the scoring machine, which does what its name implies. And finally is the center control desk.
What is reset in bowling?
The reset button is a way to manually trigger the sweeper if your ball doesn't do it automatically. On the first shot of a frame, the reset button triggers the pinsetter to pick up any pins still standing before the sweeper clears the deck. On the second shot of the frame, the reset button triggers the sweeper to clear the deck and the pinsetter to set a new rack of ten pins.
