This is totally off topic

Yes it is totally off topic but I would be remiss if I did not say THANK YOU to whoever it was who posted. Three weeks ago a post came across this list which which stated that someone was wanting to sell thirteen old arcade machines. The poster further stated that he was posting this message only because he thought these might be computer games. Only because of his post to this list and with only an email address to go on I was able to make contact with the owner of these macines. I learned that these were all priceless turn of the century era penny arcade machines that had been used at Disneyland in Anaheim and later at Disney World in Orlando. I further learned that they were going to be sold in an obscure auction in Florida (I am in Florida) three days later. To make a long story short, I was able to purchase seven of the thirteen machines at a fraction of their value. The surfacing of these thirteen pieces is one of the most significant finds of this type item in the last ten years. I have been collecting coin operated antiques for twenty five years. This is the first time in all those years that I have ever had an opportunity to buy even one example of this type item. Because someone posted the message to this list I now am proudly in possesson of seven of them. THANKYOU, whoever you were.
