Well I went to go look at a machine tonight with $400
 in my pocket planning on coming back with a machine.
 I got to the home were this machine was at and meet the person that I know he took me back to meet his mother and see the machine.
 And there in the shed was the mother and the Vendo 63A in not such bad shape( THE machine) the chrome trim was dinged up and the coin door was pried on a little , but it got cold and was all there the lock the coin mech. everything.  Then I heard these words, Wont take less than $1500 for it,(The mother said this) I saw them going on Ebay for that. Well that did that in , Why do people think if it has Coca Cola on it that it's the lottery jack pot. I had to tell them, All I was planning on spending was $400 , And all I got was a laugh.
So  I came home  with out a Vendo 63A  .
and $400 in my pocket. Boy that just   '<img'>

Did you leave your number so that they can call you when they realize that it is only worth a fraction of what they think? '<img'>

Wow! Another machine filled with gold... Should have told them how rare that is to find! ':<img:'>

Then tell them they should put it on eBay and let them see what they get... By the time they clean it up take the pictures and pay the eBay fees and get NO bids...
They'll be calling you back!
Don't worry a better machine in better condition will pop
up in another shed for a quarter of the price!

Sorry you had to go through that... I think we all have...
and it's a waste of our time....

Same thing happened to me on one of my ads I had in the paper.

The guy actually yelled at me that he had an antique.
I guess he wanted to retire on that machine.
