Answer
Hi Remy,

You are OK on your price for ebay, I just had a look at it. You have a very nice compete machine there, but slots are down right now. That one for 2400.00 right under yours will not get any bids. Castle/blue fronts are very common machines, I even have two of them right now. I would expect it would sell from 1,200.00 to 1,500.00 on ebay so your right in there on it. This is a very wonderful thing your doing for your Dad, so anyone out there that wants to buy a very fine Castle/Blue front go grab Remy's right now, at:
http://cgi.ebay.com/Mills-1934-Castle-Front-Antique-Nickel-Slot-Machine-/3305330...

Or ebay item # 330533095841

and get a fine machine and help cousin Remy!

Thank You
Sincerely

Expertise

I am an expert on old coin operated machines, slot machines, trade stimulator's, jukeboxes, old arcade machines, etc. I have been identifying these for people who respond to my web site listed below, for a few years now. In almost all cases I am able to tell them about their old coin operated machines, the year, the value, and other general information about their machines. I do not know much about soda vending machines, coin banks, or scales, but I will try to help you with these if I can.

Experience

I bought my first slot machine, a .50 Cent Mills Black Cherry in 1969 and have been hooked from that time, I still have that Slot machine! Before that I found a open barrel full of old scraped jukebox wall boxes behind a restaurant, I wanted them all but never took a one of them. Anything that took a coin drove me nuts!
