As amazing as this place looks from the outside, it's MUCH better inside. Unfortunatley the owner was leaving as we arrived so the inside pics will have to wait a week or so.

Okay everyone here's the answers to your questions:
1) EVERYTHING is for sale. The gentleman who owns the shop has been collecting for years and runs the roadside shop you see here.
2)The machine I was looking at in the pics is a Vendo 144 with a Selectivend retro fit kit installed. It's going to be my father-in-law's Xmas present. There's more pics of it in the "Estimated Value" forum.
THE BAD NEWS
Larry, the gentleman who owns the shop also butchers deer for hunters during the hunting season, which is cranking up about now. He is going to be super busy right up until February 1st. and doesn't have time to deal with "walk-ins" plus all the hunters and a zillion guys calling about machines. So, I'm going to get more picks of the inside in a week or so and post those. Then when hunting season is over I'll post the shop's name, phone number and probably even a decent inventory with pics and prices. Does that sound reasonable? Besides, it'll be closer to tax return season...

John - Is he (or you) willing to help with shipping? If so, what's the zipcode... want to get an idea of shipping charges in advance?
Title: Pics from mississippi gold mine!!!!
Post by: Lo Cash John on November 09, 2005, 09:38:11 pm
Larry, the owner, has a big ol' dolly and a small van, but that's it. I am in no way affiliated (sp?) with his business, just a machine geek who thought you guys may be interested. I can't really say if he'd deliver to a trucking company or not.
Speaking of this very subject, on another forum here, a "gameroom toys" shipper is mentioned. They will provide door to door trucking with packing for _ dollars. Not a ton more money that regular trucking but with no worries.
As for the zip code, I don't have a clue. I'm not from the area where the shop is. I just happened by it while working in that town. Lucky me!!!

LCJ,
What's the name of the town? We can determine a zip code from the name.
Thanks!!

Nice Find, quite a little treasure-trove! that V144/SV conversion is neat! your Pop-n-Law should really get a kick out of it! looks like he has a machine for everyone!

Guys,
Until Feb 1st, all I'll say about this stash is that it's in Mississippi. That's what I promised the owner. As for calculating shipping costs, figure on the furthest spot in MS from where you are. That way it will likely be cheaper when you get all the info in February.
I plan on posting more pics next week when I go pickup the V144/SV.
I can imagine all this is killing some of you rabid hunters

Looks like the same country I travel when going to Foley Alabama. SE MS.
Then also looks like any part of East MS!
Youre killing us John.
I take it he doesnt have a phone at the building.
Most of those places dont.
Like the one I ran across in Lee county Ms. (Tupelo)
about 5 years ago. The guy that ran it had died and his sons were cleaning
out. Just happened by and noticed it when we were on our way to see the
Traveling Vietnam Wall memorial.

Don't worry, I'm not running off or anything. It's just that I understand Larry's point and I made a promise.
Besides it's a little fun knowing a secret that everybody else wants in on
I'll post inside pics late next week
Get the word out about anyone who's serious. Larry says he'd like to start thinning out his inventory as it's getting a bit out of control. Keep in mind he is pretty up to speed on what stuff is worth so no one is going to get his VERY NICE Vendo 44 for $100 or anything that crazy.

I better buy some Kleenex stock with all this drooling going on. That's just the type of place I look for when on vacation.
What a find!! I'm going to have to stay off the interstates.
Thank you for sharing it with us.

I have the means, but it would be an abuse of my position and could cost me my job. They take this type of thing very seriously.

Post by: jasmine64 on November 11, 2005, 03:25:58 pm
That would take the fun out of guessing. I dont think any of us want a machine that bad.:D
Looks like it will be sometime in Feb anyway before
I will have the funds to purchase any machine.
(2 retainers in a year gets expensive, my daughters
orthodontist loves to see us coming).

Wonder if all this stuff is still there?
