25 pins for $2500 - mostly working from a distributor that repossessed equipment from a retailer that owed them money. Sold 3 the same day for $2400 to route operators.

Side story - I had 9 on a rental truck when my wife got home from work. She wasn't happy and asked where I was going to put all of these machines. I replied - It's not these 9 you need to worry about, it's the other 16 I bought today. I listened while she let me have it for a few minutes before I gave her the receipts and bank slips.

Special thanks to J.W. and "Hutch" for providing the warehouse space for a few weeks while I unloaded the bulk of the purchase.
