I got this decent Five Cent Mills High Top which was apparently used at the Sahara at a local auction yesterday. The other two bidders ran me up to $100 over what I wanted to pay but still got it for $770. The guy I beat out said he didn't really want to pay over $300 for it. So why did you keep bidding??? Does anyone know if there were master keys to these machines? It has two locks and I do not have any of the keys. Now I need to go through all of my keys and see if I can get one to open it up. I really do not want the have to drill the locks.
I also got 2 $10 silver strikes and 2 $40 strikes and a $7 strike for $35 so that was a pretty good deal. Fortunately there were not a lot of things being sold since the slot machine was almost the last thing in the auction but I still had to wait around for over 2 hours just to get it. Now I look forward to two 100 mile long yard sales this week. The weather has been beautiful (hope it holds) so the two day drive in the convertible should be very nice.
