Ok, one isn't a haul, but when it's 15 miles away you do what you need to! Change giver and all!

Nice!  I'd have a hard time passing that up 15 miles from me.

Nice haul!   15 miles..... wow.
I've driven 15 miles to the power of 1000 to get machines!

Just don't put 7up on your Ebay listing with this one now  smile

The closer a machine is to me, the more I tend to overpay for it. It's being competitive I guess. Would hate for my neighbor to show up with it and tell me, "hey, look what I just bought". Ain't going to happen.

I agree ....the closer it is also means the easier it's to get... so when you are there in person it's easier to pull the trigger(and possibly pay more)  ..than to talk yourself into driving a few hundred miles for what could be junk!

A couple months after I first started looking for a RT coke machine, I came across a listing on local Craigslist from a guy selling a 56 and an 81D.  I bought them both and still continue to look for other local machines almost every day.  That was 3 years ago and haven't been lucky enough to come across another since then.  When you find a nice one that close, you have to take advantage of it.  Nice find!
