Tom & Pete - I dought that there would be a time you had to fight off people at Sid's to play the strike machines, there doesn't seem to be as much interest in northern nevada strikes like there is in the vegas strikes.
And at the present time Sid's doesn't have a $200 strike to trade for as they had to send back the ones they had because they all had defects, was told last week when I was there they still didn't know when the next $200 would be out, but when it is there will be 100 delivered.
When they had the last $200 you could trade anything that came out of the machine since if you got an old issue you could trade for a new issue, Sid's is the nicest place as far as trading goes.
