When I first started collecting I came across a Silver King Penny Duck Hunt game in my now local antique shop. Passed on it cause I couldn't justify spending "that much" money on it.  Despite them being not that hard to come by, I still haven't found one in that good of condition for that good of a price again.

Last summer I lost my job rather suddenly with my wife almost 9 months pregnant and I had a panic sale. I had just picked up the 2 stoner theaters and had big plans for them but they were the first to go. I miss them a whole lot more than that job.

Many lessons learned.
Lesson 1.  Don't panic.. It will work out. You will regret selling whatever it was.
Lesson 2.  Don't bring it to your supervisor's attention that a something is illegal in a cut-throat corporate environment.
Lesson 3.  If you do lesson 2, line up a good employment attorney ahead of time to save time!

Not vending machine related but I picked up an all original 65 Impala SS from the original owners son back in 1987. He had parked it in the back of a lot and never did anything with it. I picked it up for 500.00 cash. I sold it 6 years later after buying my first new vehicle. I miss that car more than anything I have ever owned. I was young and well lets just say I didn't always make the best decisions as a teenager  glare

Great advise.
