A hand written note wefound with these said \" Millsnew & old style cabinet rails\"and nothing more. We don\'t know how theyare used or where but the collectors probably will. offer & win all, keep what you need, andsell the rest in the future.
We own several large 500 plus storagelocker facilities and on occasion people don\'t pay the rent. On the popularreality TV show they claim to sale off units without looking at the contentsfirst. If you believe that, we have a nicetimeshare condo to sell you on the Afghanistan/Pakistan border with a beautifulview every night of a gorgeous fireworks display. It is just down the road fromthe Catholic and Methodist churches and across from the Jewish Synagogue. Everybody walks the streets on warm summerevenings. The restaurant around the corner has toplesswaitresses& they serve great shrimp cocktails and porksandwiches. Whiskey shots are on the house.
On the TV show have you ever wondered why thereis a large group of people standing around but nobody offers except the same halfdozen or so that you saw in the last episode? Unlike the TV show, we examineall contents and if we think the items will do better on or at a localestate sale that is our procedure and that of absolutely everybody I know inthe same business. If the contents are junk or low end, then we sale unitssometimes combined with others as a way of simply avoiding taking things to thedump and having to pay to do so. If weuse the term \"antique\" it is only for saying it is old and for use inthe category sometimes only offers for something like this. But the truedefinition of antique is 100 years old and this obviously is not. We really don\'t know the exact age or pretendwe do. In our opinion, we thought thisor these unique items deserved to be listed on and hopefully somebody willenjoy owning. If not, we will call theSalvation Army as we need to keep the storage units empty & ready to rentas that is our business. All itemsgoing out of the Continental US must be insured and sent PriorityInternational. We can\'t determine theexact cost until the sale is over.Insurance desired within the US must be requested by the buyer. PayPal is accepted as demands it butany other form of traditional payment is cheerfully accepted, even UnitedStates currency which is federally illegal not to accept although doesn\'tseem to be aware of that.
Themajority ofthe antique slot machine thingswe have found are Millsalthough there is some Watling, Jennings, Pace, etc. Much of it had hand written notes from theowner but some of it has no identification.So if we don\'t define, it is probably Mills. We are not on top of prices all that much butwe do search other sales and If we find what we are going to list we start theofferding at a 10th what we see or less.If we can\'t find something similar, we just shoot from the hip but wetry to keep it low to make it acquire offers and out of here. This stuff adds up in weight but fortunately USPS Flat Rate is abig help and of course we combine shipping to save you money so keep that inmind.
A lot of parts were sold in 2017but since then we haveopened up a lot more boxes and barrels to locate much more. We learned a lot from last year\'s listingsbut since we are not dealers in slot machines, please don\'t write to us forauthoritative or knowledgeable details or to ask for specific items we mighthave as we really don\'t know a whole lot.And frankly, we just don\'t have the time as our main business is thestorage rental business. But if you neededmaybe specifics about length, size, a mark that is maybe there, etc., just askand we will be glad to do the best we can to help. But a bunch of questions on a $10 item issort of like a $500 saddle on a $50 horse & we just don\'t have time to be aPen Pal.
Last year when we listed items we just titled each sale withSlot Machine Parts (Lot A) , Slot Machine Parts (Lot B), etc. & that workedwell for us so we will do that again. Ifa note or tag was found with the item or items we might add that to the titleor description but basically the photos will have to do for a description. Some items appear to be perfect and somemight need repair or maybe several items to make one. But the bottom line is what you see is whatyou get as the old saying goes. We won\'tcomplain if you get something under its value so don\'t you complain if it needssome work. We just want this stuff outof here so we can sweep the floors and rent the unit.
Laws regulating sale of antique slot machines & parts prevent buyers from the states of Alaska, Alabama, Connecticut, Hawaii, Nebraska, South Carolina, & Tennessee. offers from these states will be cancelled along with any other states that foroffer the same.
