I gusse i did ok. I was in a local pawnshop after a doctors visit. They had a coinmaster that was in really clean condition. They wanted $129.00 for it so i tried it out: and it worked fine. So i offered a $100.00 bucks cash for it and the broker took it.I.ve heard the machine is so,so. But I figure my grandson can use it when he is here. Think it was a good deal. I'll get some head phones , coil cover , box cover, owners manuale for it.I ran her when i got home, found a couple of clad coins and a spoon.
