TALES OF THE HUNT - continued
Our second tale is submitted by Jack Laquidara of Maine.
He advises us to ...
PAY ATTENTION
TO YOUR BACKSIDE
I am a new member of COCA and have a story you might want to share
with other members. Every Sunday from mid-April until November, there is
an antique flea market in Rowley, MA. I usually arrive between 5:30 and 6:00
am and by the time I get there, quite a bit of wheeling and dealing has already
taken place. I was recently at the flea market waiting at a table for a price on
a Mills stick gum machine when I overheard a conversation behind me. All I heard was the words "bas-
ketball" and "gumbaJl", so I wandered over and saw a Coast Basketball Machine. There were four other
people looking at it and I heard the price was $125.00. I walked over and offered the owner $100.00. He
came back with $115.00 and I paid him. The machine is in good shape and complete with the wrong locks.
I guess the moral of the story is you need to keep your ears as well as your eyes open when you are on the
hunt. I have attached a picture of the machine.
I am hoping to be in Chicago in November to meet members of the club.
