[Dave]

I didn't look too close. I was busy looking at the stuff I am interested in.

I would be interested in the Pace Double but I already have one.

I will take a look at it tomorrow.

Well, it was a long couple of days.

I am currently sitting at the Vegas airport waiting to board the redeye back to Denver.

I think for the most part, prices were pretty strong. Stuff went for more than I expected. Of course, there are always exceptions.

I sure didn't see any deals on the stuff that I wanted. I was the under bidder on many of the lots.

Hard to believe the collecting community could absorb so many machines in two days.

I wonder how many are going to show up ebay in the next week?

The Pace Double was nice. It was all jammed up but I looked on the inside and it looked complete.

It sold for $21,000 + the juice which put it slightly over $25,000

Well after looking at Saturday's results the older odd balls went for big money. some sold around where I thought they would . but for 1930's / 1940's era machines most were actually decent sold prices. shove these results into the sellers faces on e-bay. even the revamps seem to sell a bit low.

My only problem..... to much added "juice" at the end of each sale. there's making $$$ , Then there's making $$$$$ !!!!
I will attend the next one....

There were a couple of people there just for the Pace Double.

I talked to the guy who bought it. Nice guy, relatively new collector. He said he was going to take the Pace Double to a guy who restores machines and get all the castings on the Double plated

I told him that would be a BIG mistake. He said be bought a single Royal Comet a while back and took it to this guy and he plated all the castings during the restoration.

I told him he needs to get on the forum.
