I had originally intended to include the link to the previous thread in my earlier post today, but wasn't sure the OP, as the seller may have appreciated it, so decided against it even though it's visible via the search function.

However, my advice is as TF states, just Make an offer...................as the longer you take, means it's more likely someone else may buy it!

I don't mind about the links, I don't mind if people know what I paid, it was after all in the Coventry auction, what I care about is the amount of hours put into them to get them into this condition, after all I don't just throw a coat of paint over them, the complete machine gets stripped and rebuilt, and if anyone that does that will know just how many hours have to go into it to bring them to this sort of condition, Brigham your more than welcome to come and have a look mate before considering any sort of offer, you never know I may have others you would prefer !THUMBS!

That's what happens when you don't put a price on things. If you said 'offers around a grand', people would know, and react accordingly.

Don't think it was rocket science to see I actually paid 450 for it from the information provided, to me 300 offer was an insult considering the price paid, time involved etc, anyways I said about 900 going off the price others had sold for, don't even think you would get a scrap sega light up for 300 !PUZZLED!

Sorry to but into a subject(penny machine values) about which I know next to nothing. Still annoyed I did not bid more for the Saxony machine on ebay last week. But from the world of property sales, the phrases "guide price", "offers based on..." etc might avoid confusion and possible upset?

You received an opening bid of £300 based on what I've paid for these in 'as-found' condition, and on the basis that you weren't prepared to give a guide price.
Instead of negotiating, you chose to be 'insulted'.
That's fine by me. YOU are the one wanting to sell it. I'm just the one with the cash!

I'm looking to buy about half-a-dozen 'bandits' in the region of £500-£1000, as a result of having extended my little 'games room' into something resembling a seaside arcade.
I can go a bit higher for something special; I'm currently looking at a Mills Roman Head, which needs work, but will probably end up costing me the best part of £1400 all done. It's still on British number reels, which is something I'm keen to have, so I'm likely to go for it.
I would have liked the Mayfield advertised earlier; it was right at the price, but I couldn't face the journey to collect it.
If anyone has anything in NE England, I'd be delighted to consider it.
(I have a seperate section for pre-decimal Bally types, too. It's on the 'dark side'!)

Oddly enough, I'm looking at a Riviera at the moment. I have a pair of Internationals, which are not exactly exciting, but not a Riviera.
Is it the famous Mini/Maxi?
I can't find a year of introduction for the Mini/Maxi. I tend to avoid decimal stuff, and the earliest of these I've seen was a 'change-over' one, showing '1/- (5np)'.
Could be interested. Anything else, to make up the load?

The trouble with O-X-O conversions is the number of extra 'holes' (usually round) you have to weld up to make them take proper reels again.
Once you've done the first one, you probably know it was 'one too many'.

Probably 1960s at some point and on into the early '70s. Many variants exist as has been mentioned like Lucky devil of which I have a few with original parts in. They also existed on many types of machine from Hi tops to Lite up variants. Also Aristocrats and Sega Windsor/Continentals had similar type win features.

Someone will correct me, but I believe it allowed operators to get around the law in paying a jackpot type wins, but requiring a coin to be inserted to get your win each time meaning you are within the 10 coin limit per play.

Another Hi top Horseshoe variant was at auction a week or two ago, but without the top marque.
