Getting rid of a machine

[Skeleton Man]

Hi all,

Just wondering if anyone had some tips for selling a machine ? I ask because I have tried every bulletin board and ebay and still got nowhere with selling my cornelius squaretop.

My biggest problem is in I'm in a small town, in Canada, 2 - 3 hours from the big city and I don't drive (so for buyers it's pickup or door-2-door like NAVL)

I paid $100 for the machine.. non-working..  replaced most of the electrical and put news light, lock, and coin mech in and was hoping to sell for $200 (put like $70 into it so barely even a profit) but it's looking doubtful.

Suggestions anyone ?

It's hard to sell a square top for some reason....the lady i bought mine off of(Mine doesn't look anywhere as nice as your though) had it on Ebay for almost a year so she basicly gave it to me for $20...check out craigslist, ebay worst case senario set it up in an office somwhere and try to make some money of it that way

All I can think of is maybe take a step back and look at how you're advertising it. Make sure that if you put it on Ebay that you have a really good write-up in the description box. Not to much and not to little.

I'd happily swap you but we're a little far away from each other...  I'd rather coke than pepsi personally, and anything stylestar would be neat..

I might end up putting it somewhere to make money, but not sure where..  (most of the stores, etc I know don't even fill the machines they have)

I almost had a buyer, but as fate would have it he was looking for a big full size machine and I'm sitting here with this compact little squaretop that only holds about 64 cans.. (4 selections, 16 cans each)

One last pic of me next to the machine to give you an idea of scale.. (I'm 5'7" tall)

As you can see overall it's in pretty good shape.. the blue overspray was like it when I bought the machine.. not my doing..   the wiring diagram was falling apart so I tried to remove it with a pressure washer during cleaning, but it didn't take it all away..   I have re-drawn the diagram, but dunno what to print it on or how to attach it..

Well I'm still trying to get rid of this..  anyone close to the border interested in a swap or something ?

Swap for: just about anything with a working compressor (don't wanna mess with refrigeration mech).

Sell for: any reasonable offer.. just wanna see it gone...
