Looks like someone beat me to it...

Q: do you have a buy it now price Dec-03-05
 A: I don't have a buy it now price. I am new at this and just trying to sell the machine for my mother. I will ship it with Roadway frieght out of Bangor Maine to the winner.I did a little research and it would be cheaper if my husband brought it to Bangor for frieght.For all you people bidding what would be the best way to pack it so it arives in good shape? I also have a big old sign that reads coca cola but I don't have a computer camera and can't find the same sign on any site I saw alot of them but not the same and I would like to list that to. I looked on google for hours its green with white letters about 5 feet long 2 feet high any info would be helpfull?  

I don't know I'm still on the side of preceed but with caution.

It's a sad commentary on society we have become so jaded and suspicious, sadder it is necessary.

Ok, off the sopa box. I am tending to agre with Dave and others, proceed with caution, but it sounds legit. If I had the room, cash and time for another machine, I'd suggest to her getting pictures taken and developed on a CD, and email to interested bidders, or work on uploading from the CD.
 Her Ebay name sounds like she used her email address, which, at least in when I first joind, is the way Ebay defaults when you create an account.
Feh, trying to shake my cynicism, the season and all....

I think that it may be some newbie.  Part of the answer may be if someone asks if the picture in her other auction (toy truck) is the actual item.  If it is, then why can she take a picture of it, but not the machine. '<img'>
It's up to $510.  I know I would like to see the unit before I bid on it.

I believe this is the real deal! Is there anyone here at SMC close to its Maine location? I would be very interested in buying this machine. '<img'>

Wonder why she is taking Paypal on the toy truck and not the machine?

Sorry guys!!  I just saw this thread...wish I had seen it sooner.  Dexter is practically just up the road from me.  Been very busy with pre-comming my ship and trying to buy a house (plus Christmas coming up...kids...etc etc)  I leave on sea trials tomorrow to put my ship through her paces.  If I had known about thismachine I would have gladly gone to pay the gal a visit and take pics for all interested (including me '<img'> )

If anyone sees anything else in this area and need someone to go take a look just give me a yell...I'll try to make time for you, promise!!
