Title: Find of the weekend Post by: Pat Pixley on August 27, 2007, 09:11:12 pm So I was sitting in my lawn chair Saturday afternoon and one of my neighbor's walked
up with a big smile on his face :biggrin: ( I think a little bigger than this one) waving a paper in my face with a address on it, He was saying he was out doing the garage say thing and ask this one young lady if she had and mickey Mouse stuff or coca cola stuff, And she said she had this old coke cooler and she said I NEED AT LEAST $100 FOR IT, So he got back to the HOOD and his first stop was my house . So I ran over and bought this little old Westinghouse :biggrin: So the weekend was great Pat Title: Re: Find of the weekend Post by: sodaworks on August 27, 2007, 09:35:40 pm Nice score.

Title: Re: Find of the weekend Post by: Vendo Guy on August 29, 2007, 01:34:40 pm I also picked up a Westinghouse Standard a couple years ago at a yard sale. My in-laws called one Saturday morning to tell me that a neighbor in their complex had an "old Coke Machine" that they were selling. I got there as fast as I could with cash in my pocket...and found a Westinghouse Standard Ice in nice condition.....no rust....for $200....but I didn't want it....i was looking for a V56, V81, V110 or similar. The guy walked up and started chatting. I told him I was looking for something different. He informed me that he was moving in 3 days and didn't want to haul it across the country. I told him he should be able to get $200 for it. As I walked away, he said "Give me $100 and it's yours." I said Thanks, but no thanks and kept walking away when I heard...."How about $50???" DAMN....how could I say NO?!?! Add another one to the collection. :biggrin:

Title: Re: Find of the weekend Post by: Eric on August 29, 2007, 01:45:39 pm $50! Man you can't beat that... the handles on the lids are worth that!
Standard ice perfect for the patio or deck! (my favorite Coke cooler too!) Nice score! Title: Re: Find of the weekend Post by: MoonDawg on August 29, 2007, 02:48:06 pm This re-enforces the advice we have been giving newcommers.
"Let everyone you know that you are looking for old soda machines". So here we are at home minding our own buisness and these soda machines are practically knocking at our door! So that's why no one here can have just 1 machine. Blame this addiction on our family and friends :biggrin: It's not our fault. Title: Re: Find of the weekend Post by: SquareTopCollector on August 29, 2007, 02:49:45 pm Nice score Pat. I am trying to work out a deal on this chest cooler
