How much do you think the Aristocrat will go for at auction?

So, what do you think the Caille Aristocrat will bring (not counting buyer's premium & taxes)?

You don't see these machines very often. If it is in good shape, I am guessing it will bring around $25,000.

One sold a few years ago for well over $30,000 at a Julia auction.

In the past, Aristocrats usually sold for 10 - 15% of what a full sized Caille Roulette sells for.

The last full sized roulette sold for around $220,000 (not counting the 10% buyer's premium). A few years earlier I think another one sold for $200,000 + the juice.

10 - 15% of $220,00 is around $25,000.

I think demand will be pretty high for this machine because the full sized roulettes are so high priced. I think people who own a full sized roulette might want this machine to go along with the big boy.

I would not be too surprised to see it sell for over $30,000. But my official guess is at $25,000

Well, I was a lot closer on this one then I was on the Gibson Girl.

The machine sold for $27,500 which results in a final price of $30,250.

My guess was $25,000 (before the juice) so I was only off by 10%.

This is the second Aristocrat that I know of that has sold for over $30,000.
