Re: "Dog Races" - Uncommonly unique and unknown
My first instinct was British, then I waivered to the US, but then came back to good old blighty. I have discussed this machine with a couple of collectors, and we all have come to the same conclusion, independently. I thought they would have posted by now, but they haven't, so I will. I think it wa...

Re: Big lot - Bandits and Bryans
I must admit I would be cautious of any dealings with the seller on eBay. I notice the Bryans machines are "sold" on Melvyns site but still on offer on eBay? Also why did he make such a big issue of selling the machines as 1 lot and then appears to be accepting bids on single items? I say ...

Re: Ruffler & Walker Allwin List
It is usually the SELLER that cites the rarity value. There was a time that I thought all machines were called rare something or other!!!! A much misused term IMO.

Re: Slider's: Come one Come all - Win-A-Prize Competition!
lol + being rather new to all this i'm just knocked out by some of the prices that emerge, my quest/research initially being to try and grasp some idea of the true values on all these lovely machines, it's a slow process but i'm gradually getting there, this buckley bones being a gem among gems had...

I bought my wife the Ice Hockey game from Coventry Auction, but she doesn`t seem to want it so I`ll have to have it! Shame!

Re: The Market
I agree with everthing he said!
We could also use Jerry`s mag to advertise stuff for sale. If the mag is not supported I doubt Jerry will be able to afford to keep it going, despite him being an eccentric millionaire. ( Well eccentric anyway )

Re: "The Lucky Coin Amusements" original 1960s arcade.
Hi Darren, Looks a fantastic Arcade, well done! For what it's worth, my advice would be to talk to other operators. After collecting machines for 20 years, early on I realised that an operator has a very different view of slot machines to a collector. If you are able to, talk to the people who can g...

Many thanks for all your hard, unpaid work, Mr PennyMachines.

Re: Elephant House Auction
I expect the results will appear in the Arena in due course along with the Coventry auction. Having had a great weekend the previous week, and based on the fact there were so many non slot, off topic lots, I too decided not to go. The hammer prices reflect what reserves the seller sets, and often lo...

Re: Coventry 2011
Just got home yesterday and this is the first chance to get online. I thought that the auction was really great this year, and well run. There seemed to me to be the best selection of machines we have ever had. I thought that the prices on the whole were a bit down, but I thought that the reserves m...

Re: Unknown lot
I think you have totally misinterpreted coin-op`s posts, and I was most surprised by your post! I have alway thought coin-op goes out of his way to help people with his replies. I have been collecting machines for 20 years and know very little about bandits, or American machines in general.
