Nice. We don't do that.

Just posted as was interesting, I thought others might be interested too.

Post by: shortrackskater on July 09, 2018, 04:23:42 PM: I don't think he has a clue what it is. Sounds like something that just need to be removed!
Here's the reply I got:

"I donâ€™t know which brand, it is new, please see attached picture.
I need to empty the building tomorrow, if you are interested , please come to site to look"

The "attached" picture was the same as on the listing! :fryingpan:

A crash course in Marketing/Advertising should be a requirement in school. I always like ads that show machines sitting outside on an oily driveway with garbage cans and weeds in the background.

I worked on one like that years ago, same small control module but bigger buttons and LCD screen.

Post by: rokgpsman on July 10, 2018, 12:22:00 AM: my opinion, nothing more.....

it's not a "Slot Machine", not anymore that an x-box is a slot machine. It doesn't even accept or dispense money/tokens. Appears to just be a game machine that likely runs video poker or video slot software. You can put similar software on an ordinary pc computer and have the same thing. Certainly not worth $500 to me, not enough half that. I don't see anything special about it.

To call it a slot machine is completely wrong.

The toaster was more of a slot machine then this one is. At least it had slots for the bread.. 🤣

Post by: shortrackskater on July 10, 2018, 09:18:13 AM: I was thinking of shooting him one more message asking him "where is the slot???" :rotfl:

You could. Offer $50.
Title: Re: Anybody got a clue?
Post by: Badbaud on July 10, 2018, 01:16:55 PM: $40 more then it is worth.

Post by: qbert on July 10, 2018, 01:21:49 PM: And remember the toaster has two slots!
Title: Re: Anybody got a clue?
Post by: shortrackskater on July 10, 2018, 04:06:14 PM: Well the slot is in El Monte... maybe 45 minutes from my house.

What I meant was shooting him a sarcastic message asking where (in the machine) is the SLOT, which would make it a slot machine!
But it really looks like an oversized xbox!
I'd rather have that Golden Nugget toaster!

Post by: smoothgrh on July 10, 2018, 04:23:08 PM: I asked the Golden Nugget slot machine seller what's the yield % for the machine, and got a reply that: It pays out a nice warm English Muffin. :Tongue_Out:
