Those were super cheap prices for the BM Co. autopay and the Bajazzo. The auction house descriptions were ignorant to the point of almost criminal. They should pay me a fine consultant fee to get the correct description of the machines. We're looking pretty stupid here, Yanks.

Ummm, you say that as if you haven't always been looked at that way........

Those were super cheap prices for the BM Co. autopay...

I figured it would be cheap, because it's not in a BMco cabinet and when I asked for a picture of the mechanism was informed it was locked. Safest therefore to assume it's unrepairable.

I would have had a punt on it if I'd thought it could be shipped to the UK for less than 3 times the sale price and without being totally trashed in transit, because I could have used the Town Broker cabinet.

On the whole I think prices were down, with many items selling below the low estimate.

It was the month of the tobacco honesty boxes, with prices (excluding premiums) ranging from £75 to £480 for a slightly damaged one with an, 'engraved usage instruction poem to the lid'. These are amongst the earliest British coin-op you will find.
