the question is WHY .

[Pat Pixley]

Why is it that 4 out 5 LaCrosse machines are missing a majority of there shelves ?
 
Why is it when you go to pick up a machine that is has to be in a basement or in a real tight area and there is always a narrow stairway ?

Why is it when you ask the person does it run and get cold they say yes, but you ask them
to plug it in and they say they cant because they sniped the end of plug off ?

Why is it that so many cap catchers missing ?

Why is it when you go look at a machine the person says it just in the way I was thinking
of sticking out curb side for the trash man to take , But wants to sell it to you for his childs
collage fund ?
 

And here is one,  Why is it when your daughter turns 21 she now thinks she should get one of
your better coolers/machines and you also need to stock it for her for the first time ?

And another one--

Why is it that people can not pick up a drill and carefully drill out the lock instead of using a hammer and chisel to  bash out the lock and damage the coin door or side of the machine!

That one really grinds my gears!

WHY is it that people take the time and spend the money to list an item on EBAY, only to say Local Pickup only... Put it on your local craigslist or newspaper then!!! Ebay is meant to attract the highest price from national and International bidders!!!

WHY is it that the guy who has an old coke machine sitting in his barn/garage/basement thinks of selling it so searches it out on the internet and runs across a fully restored machine just like his and ASSUMES his rusted out, beat up , missing parts machine is worth EXACTLY The Same Price as a fully restored one!

WHY do some people want you to be the buyer and the seller at the same time. You find an ad for old coke machine, no price. you ask the guy what you want for it .. he then asks, well ..hmmm not sure... whats it worth to you! then you lowball and he gets mad for you giving him a number...

This is fun... who's got more!

[Kilroy]

Why is it people tell you about highly desirable machines  they had, and gave away, or trashed when they learn  you  are a collector.

Why do the leads for  "old coke machine"  usually turn out to be a behemoth Dixie- Narco that is so weathered and beaten, you know it  stood outside a Wal-Mart for a few years?

Why does every seller have a  relative/friend/source that tells them their machine could get 5 times its actual worth?

And of course...

[collecture]

WHY do eBay sellers of nice shape machines that are near you ALWAYS yank the listing because bidding isn't happening?

WHY do eBay sellers say it cools well because they had it plugged in for 10 minutes?

WHY do CL sellers make a deal with you, but don't end their listing and end up selling to somebody else?
