Title: Frustrating
Post by: Zach on December 09, 2012, 10:04:50 pm
Had nearly the exact machine for sale for over a month and I gave it away for $200 just to get rid of the thing and now this.... http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vendo-44-Coke-Machine-/110985696762?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item19d74355fa

Need to quit selling things... haha

This is why you sell on ebay!! Say what you want about e-Pay, but when your selling, it rocks.

      I had one too, it sat in my store for many  months.  People were only interested in it if I could supply them with all the rest of the parts.
      Next I had a mirror cut to fit in the place of the coin door, made it look similar to a stoner candy machine. Over a year later I finally got $500.00 for it.
      Yup, shill bidding or newbies there.

I sold one like that for $600 last year - I think it also depends where you are located.

I'm in Colorado so I think that makes a difference, east coast guys are nuts, I can't believe what machines get out there.

Well - there is this nut case in Maine that is trying to corner the market on soda machines.   :tounge:
