Kind of grabs your attention doesn't it? Those posts claiming unbelievable finds and deals.
Mine was a free Victor 3 door, A friend alerted me to a post for a free "Coke cooler" not 3 miles from my front door. I saw the pics, grabbed a friend, a trailer and headed over immediately.
It was used by a sorority in UNC Chapel Hill for years until it stopped working then it was put in a back yard.
What's your best deal ever story?

Best deal, not soda related, but Gas Pump, Got a Wayne 60 Pump for for $25.00, that is what the old farmer thought he could get in scrap for it..  Plenty of good deals on soda stuff.. that is what keeps the "HUNT" alive. |

Mine was a complete Vendo 81D and a Westinghouse Standard without lids both for $44, since that was all I had in my wallet at the time!

I'll always look back on my Wayne 866 acquisition for $120! I did have to remove it from its original placement as well... I have also acquired a couple Cleveland Neon clocks for next to nothing!  (Sorry for the poor image, it was from an old reference Site and was quick to include) |

Not soda, but a few years ago I got a Mills Vest Pocket trade stimulator for £60.
In really good original condition, sold it a few months later to a guy in Portugal for £240!

I have gotten several pocelin signs from free to $10.00. But it's been awhile since I got a deal like that. I picked up my RC 110 in near perfect original condition for $100.00. Just got lucky one day.
