Someone tried to sell me the "Rosetta Stone" on the internet so I thought it would be a good idea if I changed my E-Mail address. Big Mistake as I had to notify 1001 people on my contact list plus I ended up with a locked out PM account. old man.jpg As usumal, Mr. P came to the rescue and ...

Hi Coppinpr......I am as confused as you in trying to interpret Moonriver's post. At first he posted some gibberish (sic ) about fishing plus 2 bites which had nothing to do with my auction fraud topic. When you asked for an explanation he responded with a claim to livening the "usual existing ...

judge.jpg At the risk of ending up in the Pokey, I relate the following event that happened years ago. I was at a high profile coin-op auction when I witnessed a dealer disable an expensive machine at viewing time. As a result, the perpetrator went on to buy the machine at a bargain price. I have s...

custer last stand.jpg Way back in the the early days of coin-op collecting, an Arington auction was like the "wild west" in America Prices went thru the roof and without price guides those were exciting times. I was the lucky bidder on one of these "Lindy Strikers"...........I b...

Museums are crammed with dinosaur bones, Egyptian artifacts and old cars but nary a coin-op. So why not a few ...

dunce cap.jpg In my recent posting "Harpoon or Shaft" I inquired as to what could cause a DIGGER motor to run backward. NOT ONE REPLY so I called a local electrical supply company. Apparently, a motor will run backward if the negative and positive wires are reversed. If I am now the leadi...

shock.jpg My coin-op repairs can be described in one word.......DISASTER I am the first one to admit that I do not have any mechanical skills. I have survived near fatal shocks, numerous trips to the emergency room, 3 hernia operations, plus lasting scars over my entire body....Our local ambulane d...

I also wish to point out that a little "hanky panky" at an auction does not warrant a head chopping, especially, by that guy pictured in the cutoff pantaloons. ROGER

I found this article which shows that I am not the only one who finds that some WHALES abuse the bidding system by intimidating those collectors with limited budgets. ROGER P.S. Maybe Gameswat will now understand the difference between a good vs bad WHALE Intimidating the Competition.pdf
