I tried to call him a few times with no luck.  That doesn't sound to bad to me either, but too rich for my blood.  I would like a crack at a 33 and the 72 and I am not too far away.  I hope to get a hold of him and see if he would sell individual machines if he doesn't hit his reserve.

I am not so sure it is a good deal!
For $20,000, I'd want to know more about the machines!
Shelves are missing in some - cap catchers on others - others working condition unknown? - what else?
Sure - you are getting ten or so nice machines, but you are also getting some you would have to give away - a VMC340 - 600 lbs.! - OH MY BACK!!
They would drop that off in my driveway and it would not move or you would find me under the machine with the dolly handle driven through my heart!

Well just have them drop the 340 next to your driveway and you will have an interesting mail box Smiley

      I just did the math. Calculated the value as what I would pay for a machine
taking into consideration the handling, re-wiring or missing parts. Also a reasonable
return on investment and time involved. Those squaretops are nice but don't sell
for much, and the sliders are stripped.    My estimation for his 23 machines came
to under $11,000.00 and that is the reason he doesn't want to sell individually.

      Using the same formula on John's purchase of 16 machines, totaled over $19,000
not including all the parts he got with the deal. He did well  happydrinkers

I was working on those numbers as well... Glen, I'd like to see your formula, just to compare to the one I used when working on my deal.
Yeah,  I do feel good about my deal I made... I think it'll work out good for me in the long run...

I doubt he'll get his bid to reserve... so maybe he'll wheeel and deal a bit... I'm going to be in touch with him over the weekend,,, i have his number and see what'll he'll do if it doesnt' sell.

I just visited with him, and it sounds like he will sell individual machines if his reserve doesn't get reached - although he wants to sell as one lot.  I was talking to him about the 72 and one of the single door 33's.  As of now, it is a wait and see game on the auction and reserve.

Has anyone talked to this guy after the auction?      He was well short of his reserve, but I can't get a hold of him to see what his plans/or next move is ....
