At my local auction this week

Anybody here know anything about slot machines?  This one looks interesting and I've never seen one like it.




And if I can snag this shelf for $20, I may just have to.

Unlikely, just SMB3 alone is worth like 10 bucks. But you never know.

Oh, I've gotten some real good scores on games.  The auction is a bunch of dirty old farts that are looking for silverware.
Every once in a while, there is one other guy there that buys the games, but I won a box of almost 100 NES carts for $60 because he stopped at $50.

buying in bulk is always fun. You never know when that Stadium events might pop up

I like that slot machine, it definitely has an art deco feel to it so i'm guessing it was built around the 30s or 40s from my guess.  I can imagine it'll go for a fair bit more than $20 though, it's probably worth a couple hundred if it's broken, working you might be able to get $700, maybe more?
