Here's the auction number 260129877084

Is there any doubt that it is a reproduction?

Yeah, totally misrepresented machine AND THEY KNOW IT!!!

Don't you just love their eBay ID "dontgetjinxedshopjinx"

They say in BOLD print that the Machine is not a reproduction!

The also brag about their return policy, but if you read the listing closely they state return policy is void on this item.

I notified them telling them the machine is a reproduction. The replied with i dont think it was in the actual golden nugget casino i think it is just restored to like like the golden nugget machines , thus mkaing it the golden nugget edition, thanks

In a subsequent email they said no no no it is 100% origional not a redproduction but it has been restored . ( re painted , cleaned , machanicly tuned , polished , ect ) understand ?

They also state in their listing that they have more Mills machines. These guys are totally clueless. Why would anyone buy anything from them? They state the Golden Nugget is from the 1920's, whis is off by decades even if it were a legitimate machine.

Their phone number is 914-400-5352 in case anyone wants to call them

Perhaps we should all contact eBay's fraud department. I just read an article in the newspaper that eBay is going to start taking conterfeits of antiques much more seriously. Only time will tell.

Don't you also love how all the pictures are sideways? The morons don't even know how to rotate a photo.

Well, the Jinxster is trying to sell the machine again.

The guy still claims it is not a reproduction and was made in the 1920's.

He also brages about his return policy and then also says "no returns on this item".

Unfortunately, some poor sole has actually bid almost $1,200 on this thing and it looks like it has hit reserve.

Well, the machine sold for $1,225.

That is, it MAY have sold. The person who (supposedly) bought it only has a feedback of one and he has only bid on things from this seller in the last 30 days.

The second high bidder has a feedback of < 10

Hmm, anyone else think these other bidders are shills?

I wouldn't be surprised to see the Jinxster sell this item again in a few months.
