Judged by the rest of the stuff on that auction, I don't think I'd be too excited about the slots. But I don't know...I'm new at this game. Could it be those are the "barn finds" that get collectors going??


Actually this is an estate sale. I go the them all of the time. Items are priced by the estate company. If they don't sell you can put a bid. On the last day they will call you if they accept your offer. McHenry is too far from Lemont.

Machine is back on eBay. Guess the Craigslist thing didn't work out.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/ORIGINAL-1930S-ERA-MILLS-5-CENT-SLOT-MACHINE-FROM-CHICAGO-/200945578391?ssPageName=ADME:B:SS:US:1120

Starting bid is $2,400 with a BIN of only $3,600 :shock:

I find it hard to believe, that this IDIOT is going to keep preaching his BS story, in hopes to hook an uneducated fish. He has even convinced himself
that because there is another one on eBay, that his BS story is true. Apparently he thinks that an operator would have only made one of this phoney
configuration. Therefore we all on the Forum can't be right. By the way, where are those three Mills employees to back up his fantasy story? :^o
God help us if a third one shows up! He will be slinging even more BS, and of coarse, jack up the price even more. He can list this thing over and over
til the cows come home, but no one in their right mind is going to ever open the bidding at his ridiculous price, let alone the 'buy-it-now'. Ho-Hum! :crybaby:

One of his feedback replies (negative) calls him a "complete whack job".

Wow.
Slowly building a knowledge base on E2000 series Bally machines and J400 Jennings. Started with the antique Mills and Jennings. Getting there...

Update on the Mchenry slot machines.....the Mills was complete and working....the other machine was missing back door but other then that complete......both were priced at 1195 each......over 500 people flooded that sale that evening.....someone offered the guy who bought the two machines 2500 for the pair....oh and the jukebox was a wreck especially the veneer price was 850 as of the next day it was still unsold....slots went to first or second guy through the door.
