Title: Ideal 55 Post by: MoonDawg on December 23, 2009, 08:05:55 pm Had a guy call me today looking for a coin mech and slider rack for a 55. Said his neighbor was going to haul it to the dump even though it was cooling well. He asked me if he should paint it because it had scratches........................

A picker buddy of mine got a similar call a few years ago.The guy told him that he was the last guy to call before he took the thing to the dump. The "thing" happened to be a coin-op runningman pitch and bat baseball game. So he gave him 25 bucks for it and went on his merry way,had a buddy put it on ebay for him and the winning bid was 2K plus. Of course this was a few years ago when the market was up but stuff like that happens every day. People would rather spend $500.00 on a dumpster to get rid of stuff than run an ad and have it all disappear for free or profit.
