EH / Collector Connector sales

[coin-op]

Well, I guess some got time off to attend todays auction. So I wondered if anyone wants to venture a report. I was wondering what the double decker, stereoviewer and matthesons machine went for...and really anything else for that matter.

Thanks for posting that Tree frog. If that lot did sell, the prices were pretty good for some buyers.

To be honest, some machines were rough or needed restoration or had had restoration. E.g. the Fivewin was a mess, I can only assume it was some kind of rare version with the price it raised. The Hawtins needed restoration......The two Bryans Bullions both had very very fresh paint, the lower priced one, was slightly incomplete...The Double Decker looked nice

The Automatic Sports company machine must be rare, the ones in cast iron casings fetch a fortune... it looked good and original.

The main thing I was happy with was the St Leonards Palace Pier enamel sign....

Just seen the Double Decker on Melrights site for £2750........a nice £1800 profit if achieved......I wonder how much of this stuff will end up being resold on within the next few days.....

Could always be that it was entered in the auction, didn't sell and the seller is now looking to sell it elsewhere. Who knows what's going on sometimes Equally, it may indeed be that the buyer is looking to make a NICE profit.

I see there a Byrans Ant Viewer on ebay. I'm guessing that this must be the same one?....I must decide to have a look at the next auction when it comes round and the Coventry one I hear a few people chat about. When is the next Coventry auction? Thanks

[coin-op]

The next Coventry auction is provisionally set for Sunday 27th November. It's definately the established slot auction to attend. If you haven't been to one of these auctions there's a fair old spead of machines from all era's, from unrestored to restored condition. Basically, it's run by enthusiasts for enthusiasts. So, I think you would enjoy the day and hopefully find something to suit.

Slot machine hammer prices and pictures from the March and June Elephant House auctions are now in the Arena.

Looking at the prices you have posted against the value they attained above in the auction, quite a few did not make the reserve. What is interesting is I am sure they did not state this during the auction. Most auction houses usually make it clear at the time an item has not sold...
I notice a number of these have ended up on ebay recently and selling for the same as they reached in the auction, including the 5 win. There is a Bryans Clock on ebay now that was at the auction...
