I've got an old fruit machine here that takes old 5 and 10p's.
It's not doing much, so went to all the aggro of taking photos and a short movie clip of it all in use. Then uploaded it all to youtube/photobucket (so I can add big photos to the listing without paying for them), wrote out all the details (£10 start for £9.85 worth of old coins) and the ba$tards won't list it as you need a bloody licence to sell one.
Looks like I'll have to break the bloody thing for spares now.

Christ knows what it's worth, but it's a bit of fun.
One idea I had was to list the cash and a big fun moneybox for it to go in, but the problem with eBay is once they've seen it attempted before, they watch to see if you try and re-list later.
Considering it doesn't use money available today, I don't see any problem, but some jobsworth with a clipboard probably would.
