I've been looking for a Crush 55 for a long time! Great machine you lucky dog! Where did you find it? I don't think it's the one up North that was non embossed and was discussed in a previous post.

BC Title: Re: Look What I found !!! Post by: Ltransam on February 05, 2012, 01:28:07 am Hello. Guys :happydrinkers:
Thanks! Just Lucky on this One! It was A Quick Deal. I called Pat for his Option .The Seller Was Shaky And Nervous That I would Not come get it If He held on to it For Me For 24 Hours As he said He Had Others Were Calling To View it .But After Speaking To Him and Insuring him My Word Was Good .And Offering To Send A Deposit By U.P.S Next day Air He Agreed To Give Me Till The Next Afternoon To Call him By 10:00am To Aging Give Him An Arrival Time I Took off work Early And met at 2:00 Pm . He was A Nice Guy And Was Just Nervous Because of Pryor Problems Of other sales he has had . The Machine was Not From Michigan. It was In Columbus Oh . The Best Thing Is If he Has Other Items He Will Call Me First & The Trust Is Now There . I really Do NOT know What the Value of The cooler Is In it Condition But I did NOT haggle over the $ And I knew He would Not Take Anything Less then he was Asking I could Tell From Talking To Him and Hinting Around .But I did Get him To Drive It South Out of the City To Make It Easier On Me Because Of Traffic On A fRIDAY . But In my Buddy’s 3rd Edition Jeff Walters Book It More Or Less says its The Second Hardest Ideal 55 to find behind the Dads Root beer But They Do Not Mention The Rare Coke 55 Which We All Know Is Like Finding Hens teeth .

I really like it. Plus, it sounds like you've made a really solid contact with this guy. Who knows what his friends may have, and now he'll tell them about the great transaction he had with you. It could pay off more in the future. Well done!
