Canteen had an enforced policy where most of the old machines were destroyed.
Please post any Canteen finds. Leonard and I will settle in the back alley who gets what :-)
Thanks!!

        Then the guy who bought it for $400.00 was pretty stupid to leave it tagged and still sitting on the sellers table.

Now somebody could offer $600.00 + and since there is no contract / bill of sale, original buyer probably just gets his $400 back.  :darn:

If he paid.
I have been lucky a few times when there is a sold tag. Asking, Is it paid for?

If not offer up the cash.
Sellers need to sell and have been burned many times by the guy that just "needs to go to the ATM" and never shows back up.
Always ask and take cash in hand.
