Hey

I followed Josh's path to success & posted an add in the Charleston SC part of Craigs list.

I got a hit this weekend & here is what they sent me.

""Saw your message for purchasing coke/soda machines.  We have an RC Cola chest stlye  machine that is in very good condition.  We have own and used it for over 20 years.  It will easily chill drinks to 30 degrees.  Shows signs of minor touch up by previous owner. "

So I will post a picture when I get it. I am hoping for some type of slider machine.

Hello

Bingo a complete RC Cola Slider. The owner sent me 6 pictures & this thing looks great.

Good job Kevin, but first use this for bargaining. A Royal Crown slider has embossed letters and is painted yellow. This guy has a generic 55 slider painted the wrong color and has a newer style 1960's RC sticker.   A close look at the coin box, it's big and boxy with very little chrome. He probably knows the Ideal "high top" coin mech. is so much more attractive and valuable than his.
      That said, you know he is expecting you to pay him at least the amount he paid for the machine, plus his body and paint work.  $700.00 to $1000.00 total. It's difficult to take a loss, but you're in the drivers seat.
     (Change the red logo to Coca Cola and it will sell)

Hey M D

I hope not much because he said he has owned it for 20 years. I sent him a note asking how much he wants for it so I hope I  can get a deal. So this should be ready for the soft close tomarrow.

Good luck  to me & then I will pass it by the boss.

Did you read Jasmines post today? Missed a slider by 2 hours.
      BUY it and don't haggle on price. He may change his mind tomorrow.
