Title: Deal of the Weekend--a $4.00 Gumball Machine
Post by: mznb1u on September 06, 2010, 06:40:24 pm
Got a great deal on this Carousel Gumball Machine at a moving sale yesterday.  I was out walking the dog and noticed this machine standing on the driveway next to the garage.  Stopped back and asked what she wanted and she said $4.00.  She even had the original manual and receipt from Sears in December 1987!

Just took a few minutes to clean it up and put it back together.  There was almost $1.00 in pennies in the machine!  Just need to add some gumballs or candy and we are ready to go.  I need to pick up a key eventually but for now I can get the top off with my fingers.

I also picked up a nice pair of long pruning shears for $2.00 so it was worth stopping into the sale.
