What's going on here then?
Does somebody think it's real and not a toy?
Or should I have been collecting cheap nasty "lets pretends" all these years?
At least I'd be able to swing a cat at home if I had.

Was it a rare reproduction of a Ford Escort van made about ten years ago containing original parts, or was it an antique version of the much sought after copy of the Sprinter which will only increase in speed when going down hill?

eeby jeeby Bay part II
At least it's not a replica, it has the three mounting holes instead of one up the middle, but how much? And what the hell is the reserve?
Moneybox Madness

Are we getting desperate, the below 1D Chocolate money box is pretty rough condition has already reached £127......Now what is odd there is always buy-it now ones on other sections for less than a hundred and often around the £60 mark sometimes if original box.....So is it just the slotties that are desperate as this has been listed under the coin operated section....Not sure I understand the appeal of these, they are tiny, I think one sold recently at the Coventry auction....I guess I cannot talk I did but another money box the Hi Top one, with a jukebox, bit more to my taste as it is identical to the real thing, well the front half and I thought the £20 I paid was a lot

Re: Moneybox Madness
Nearly £200! I bought mine for about £18 a few years ago. I do like them though, but not that much. They appear to be like buses..... not one for ages then 2 at once.

dip your bread folks, here is yet another vendor, straight off the slow boat from China, a steal at just £125. I'm almost tempted to buy a crate load, just in case (not!)

Re: Moneybox Madness
just to close this topic out - earlier posts are correct, the woman who paid nearly £200 didn't realise it was a toy. I knew her from having sold her a full size vendor shortly before and she just got carried away with it. The luckiest person around of course is the underbidder who came so close to paying about 5 or 6 times the price of what something was worth! I notice a quick trawl today finds one person selling two different machines at £60 or £125 buy it now or another listing where you can take your chances on a 99p auction! For the record, I had a few of these machines last year and from memory got £65 for a nice one in a box, and I think £50 for another and £60 for another. But all sales were around the Christmas run up when full size cadbury vendors were going daft too!

Re: Casdon toy allwin
If anyone wants a copy of this mag, the Meccano guys are selling it and many more for £3.95 postage inc. It's a lot cheaper than the US copy.'Build your own working Meccano slot machine'
Their weblink is: http://www.hsomerville.com/mwmailorder/
I was going to scan my copy and put it in the Resources Section but it probably wouldn't go down too well with them.
Come on then, get those No. 10 Sets out from under the bed and get cracking. I'll want to see photos in a weeks time.....

Re: Casdon toy allwin
My kids have one of those toys and it actually works very well. Perhaps we should start a toy slot thread and build pics to it. I have a couple of toys to add, will fish them out later and add accordingly.

Re: Casdon toy allwin
Here's a couple of loosely coin operated toy bits I found in my stash of tat. First one is Wheel of Fortune, a four player coin pusher. We used to substitute the plastic tokens for the new 1p when we played with the family and we each had to put a 5p coin on the star positions. I have two of these and still good fun to play. The second is a Peter Pan Playthings vending machine. I've seen the mini chocolate dispensing one many times, but never this one until I found it in a flea market, unused, mint in its box. It's on old penny. Packaged from factory with very non attractive bits of polystyrene in the tray compartments. The old penny goes in a slot on the top of the machine at the back. You have to time it well, pushing the coin in with one hand and pulling the tray with the other at the same time.
