Wondering if anyone has any thoughts on this puppy:
http://tinyurl.com/cq9e9
Seller started bidding at $275 and buy it now for $300, and got no bids.
I am almost positive that this machine was designed for the NYC subway system, as it will fit between an I-beam, and I remember seeing them this color when I was a kid.
I'd consider making the guy a fair offer on it.
Suggestions?

That's a neat looking machine. I'm pretty sure that is a generic with a Hershey sign screwed to it, though. For that amount you could score a Stoner (Jr. or 180) for that amount if you keep your eyes peeled. A much more desireable machine. But, to each his own! '<img'>

This is just the sort of thing that I have moved over to. Smaller and easier to post. Already have two for collection in a couple of weeks when I go to the US.

Is there anyone else out there who collects this sort of thing???

I have two that are similar but they vend laundry supplies. They are on display inside our laundry room. I also have a 1 cent vendor that is longer and slimmer that vends Wrigley's gum. '<img'>

ok, well here's what I just got on Ebay for a little less than that ($75):



Could someone tell me what it is...

and why didn't anyone warn me that buying machines is addictive?
