Any idea what's so special about this Ideal Coin Changer?   Don't these usually go for ~$100.

I'm guessing these coin changers are going for a mint at the moment??  Cool  I'll have to keep an eye out for them then.

Something fishy going on here.  I never have seen one sell for more than $200, let alone $400.  Also, take a look at this...a cap catcher from the same seller as the coin mechanism and it sold for $204.?  C'mon...get real!

Maybe he's jacking up his own prices to show an increase in value for the items???

Ok.  Point taken...but a cap catcher for $204??? 

Cap catchers for Ideal 55 sliders are far easier to come by than a 55 coin mech, and they even sell re-pops of those cap catchers.  Typically they sell used for $40-50, unless they are for an Ideal 35, which can fetch around $100.  $204 seems too good to be true for a 55 cap catcher, but lucky for me...I've got about 5 of them!  I think they are worth 5-6k if restored!  LOL
