Where have all the slots gone?

Never been to the Coventry auction, wife's away so I've the perfect excuse.

Although I don’t wish ill health on anyone, but it is always good for collectors when one of our colleagues passes on or has a change in interest and moves on to collecting bubblegum cards as that is when we get the chance to buy machines you rarely get to see. Seems to happen every few years, sometimes multiple times in a year......maybe a large collection will come up in 2019

What is it you know TF that the rest of us don't? More importantly does it concern me?

I probably wrote the above badly after re-reading it, no it was not meant as in me, I was generalising.

I shan't be standing next to you at the next auction, you might slip something in my tea!!

I remember seeing a letter in the media once from some senior citizen who stated "I really love Clint Eastwood and all his films, if he passes away soon we will get to see all his films repeated on television."

Like the pastor who was greeting his parishioners after the service and was talking to one woman who was gushing about how marvelous his sermons were.
"I'm thinking about having them published posthumously," he said.
"Oh wonderful," she replied, "the sooner, the better."

Careful what you wish for Tom, we all know who has more machines than anyone, and there are people who will do anything to get hold of certain machines... don't give people ideas.

Just a word of caution for anyone thinking of applying for a single machine permit from the Gambling Commission so that eBay will allow them to list an Allwin - don't hold your breath! I applied in September and, several emails and phone calls later, am still waiting. Latest is it's awaiting sign-off . As usual Covid 19 gets the blame though I fail to see how a Gov. Dept. that is presumably purely non public-facing can't operate fully from home. Can't wait for the EH and Coventry auctions to return in whatever form is allowed post Covid (bit of action on the EH site recently so will keep an eye ) so that we no longer need eBay

[treefrog]

Brian, why bother with an Allwin, not much point....

I see the elephant house site is being updated at the moment, maybe some news will come out once back online. Also maybe there would be appetite for an early Coventry auction in March, if the suggested rollout of the Covid jabs goes to plan
