I agree with the previous comment as you probably "Dodged A Bullet" on this one!
You may want to consider yourself lucky and continue the search and thoroughly research everything you are considering and don't be afraid to ask questions of the people who reside here on the Forum that have been doing this for a while!
Personally, off of my listings, Etc. I get many phone calls asking for advice and love talking to people just joining the hobby and doing whatever I can to prevent them from paying too much or falling for the "Okie Doke" of an unscrupulous seller!
Don't evaluate value by what is listed on EBAY with selling prices, only use sold final listings and better yet look for closed current auctions, Etc.
These can be found with a little searching on the internet!
Prices can be all over the spectrum and most of the "High Prices" are "Trolling" prices, so while impulse buys can be intriguing always do your research!
Welcome to the Hobby that is Antique Slot Machines!
Again, if you have questions, do not hesitate to ask any of us!
Feel free to contact me as well if you wish my opinion!
Bona Fortuna!
