I went to an estate sale today (like I do 3 days a week) because they had a picture of a Black Cherry slot machine. I figured it was worth the drive if the price was right even though they did not advertise any jewelry which is what I normally buy. So I go in and there are a few pieces of jewelry near the checkout counter but they are all junk. I look up and see a small slot machine with a $15 price tag so i grab it right away. Then I start looking for the Black Cherry machine but can't find it in the house. I make a second pass and finally find it in teh garage but no price tag. So I run back to the checkout to ask how much it was and the lady tells me "This guy here just bought it for $95" AAAARGHH!! He got a $1000 slot machine for almost nothing. At least the small machine works well after a few drops of oil.
