I just had to post this to brag. I am so excited I can hardly stand it. I got an email today about this C96. It is complete and works. It has been painted all white but it is really nice. The guy needed it out ASAP so I told him I would come get it right then. $200 for a round top 96 isn't too bad. I can hardly sit still I am so happy. Sorry the pics are bad but it is dark and it is still in my truck.

Josh, simply amazing.
The guy's new in town and get's all the cool machines here!
When he moves away in two months, it will be like the Pied Piper and all the machines will follow him out of town.
Just Joshin' ya' Josh.
I'm super happy for you. If I didn't have a wife who restricts my hobby, I would be hitting the newspaper ads as hard as you. I'll just live vicariously through you.
By the way, I'll be happy to come over tomorrow (Monday) to help you unload it into your garage if you need me.
Again, great job!

Another great story in a long line of Josh's acquisitions!
Whoever stated this was so right, "Josh is a machine magnet"!
Congrats! Looks to be in great shape too!

I wanna know how your paper ads read!........ I am obviously saying something wrong!
I have run an ad for a month with just one call..... Are these the FREE papers?.....
Sweet machine by the way....... way to go!.... They're still out there!!!!!
You'll make some good money on that one!

Nice score. When I first saw this picture I thought that you found it on the top shelf of a warehouse (you are looking at it from down below)!

When I first looked I had to look again. It would seem that it is laying down in the bed of a pick-up at night. Deceptive picture isn't it.

Yes the machine is in the back of my truck. I am now on the road on my way to Cincinnati with the machine. Just wait to see what I have next.
So far in Minneapolis I have only been posting ads on Craigslist. I repost the ad every day to make sure it is at the top. You either have to change the ad every time or delete it every day before you post. On this machine the guy saw an ad a long time ago from one of my ads in cincinnati and it just happened to be that he lived within 10 miles of me in minneapolis. You think I am lucky now just wait untill the end of the week.

I wish it was a keeper but I could use the money. I am going to wait untill tomorrow to plug it in to see if it works then I am going to list it on ebay. Since it is in Cincinnati and I am driving back to Minneapolis in a week or so I am going to offer to deliver the machine along my way if anyone needs it for a small fee. Or I will forward air it. It is a really nice machine. It could use paint but there isn't even a speck of rust on it and it is complete.

Well I pluged it in and it works great. Cools down really fast and vends great. I am going to list it tonight on ebay. I will post the auction # when I list it.

Awesome job, Josh! Yeah, I'd say if you keep this up, you may not need to consider yourself "unemployed"!

Unemployed, or Underemployed?
