check his other auctions.
he also has this same machine listed for $18,000.
his prices are ALWAYS from just the other side of the universe...
i wonder what he would ask for the COMPOSITE SLOT MACHINE that has gotten so much discussion on this site recently.
i can understand (DOES NOT MEAN AGREE) when some non-knowledgabe seller places some ridiculous price, or story (THE ONLY ONE EVER MADE... FORMERLY OWNED BY AL CAPONE ... PROTOTYPE... CUSTOM ORDER...) due to wishful thinking, or pricing by an expert such as his neighbor who once knew a guy who had a cousin that said...
BUT, when people who are obviously knowledgable, such as ebay seller PREDUCTION, who has been in the coin op hobby as long as most of us, prices stuff like he does, it really makes you wonder what their reasoning, or, train of thought (if any) is.

I don't know what Mr. Preduction has been smoking, but it must be some nasty stuff! [-X
The BS story, and INSANE price of the Pace slot is somewhat mild compared to some of his other items listed.
Yes, this same slot seems to be listed more than once, and that price is $18,000. Then, on top of that, some
clown has offered him $20,000 for it, in the 'question & answer' column. If he isn't pulling this guys chain, he
must be smokin the same stuff. #-o

Whoops! During my last 'senior moment', I misread the question & answer note.
Seems that John has a 25c model that he is offering for a BIN of $20,000. Sorry gang. :oops:

WHY DO WE KEEP ON WASTING EVERYONES TIME WITH THE REPETION
OF THIS IDIOTS OFFERS. I SAW A REAL OLDE CASTLEFRONT, ALL ORGINAL
NEEDING RESTORATION AND A LOCK ON EBAY FOR ABOUT A THOUSAND DOLLARS.
THIS IS WHAT WE SHOULD BE SEARCHING FOR TO HELP OLD AND NEW ALIKE.

because pointing out the idiocy, fraud, and mis-information that abounds out there to the newbies that are fortunate enough to find their way to this site, and helping to educate them, can help turn them into seasoned, knowledgable future collectors, rather than have them do an impulse buy, get burned, and instantly soured on the hobby.
KNOWLEDGE, AND, COMMUNICATION ARE POWERFUL TOOLS... WHEN THEY ARE USED.

I've know this guy for years. Very eccentric and impossible to deal with. He's a high end arcade collector and lists this stuff just to get a rise out of people, which he's getting. Nothing he does is based in reality, best to move on and leave him alone.

Take a look at his "Completed Listings". He had better sell something. He's already in the red due to Ebay seller fees...

If only someone would spend, say, 20 grand with him, all would be well.
