A machine I passed on last week. I was number one in the door at the estate sale. Went back to pick it up when I came to my senses and of course it was gone. Still kicking myself. Go ahead and give it to me, I deserve it I'm kind a hoping Bill Darwin picked it up. It was in his neck of the woods.

I did a couple of these back in the late 80's both nickel machines, both fully restored. They both eventually sold, one for $5,800 the other $7,200. The machine pictured was a steal at $2,200 and it looks restored. Wonder if the buyer dickered them down any?

From what I was told she got her asking price. Still kicking myself.

THE PRICE WAS A STEAL--- TO BEGIN WITH--BUY WHAT YOU LOVE, DON'T ALWAYS
THINK YOU CAN GET SOMETHING LOWER-- THE VALUE IS THE ITEM,
YOU GUYS HAVE GOT TO RELY ON YOUR KNOWLEDGE REGARDING PRICES,
AND IF YOU REALLY LIKE SOMETHING, PAYING A LITTLE MORE THEN YOU WOULD
LIKE TO ,IS FORGOTTEN THE MINUTE YOU HAVE IT ON YOUR SHELF.,
i AM AN OLDE COLLECTOR, NEVER REGRETTED THE PRICE (WITH IN REASO)IF I LOVED THE MACHINE.
