Title: It's Raining Vending Machines near me lateley... Post by: SIGNGUY on September 17, 2007, 08:32:32 pm Ok,
I guess they are right when they say when it rains it pours.... Picked up two more machines today... I've been looking at them on Craigslist for some time now and they haven't sold so I made some more offers yesterday and this morning made a the 2 hour trek to go get em'. Picked up this Ideal 55 slider... Was listed as a 7up slider machine, but first thing I saw was this "plate" screwed onto the machine, so figured... Ok.. mystery machine whats it going to be. Got there this morning and it was in rougher shape than in photo, so made another offer and for $75.00 loaded it up. As I'm loading it I see yellow paint so thinking Ok, Squirt or RC Cola... Got it home and it's a Squirt embossed machine... Kinda cool... I have an extra coin mech for it so it'll only be missing rack.. Then headed over to destination #2 and picked up this Vendo 77.. HOLEY COW THIS LITTLE SUCKER IS HEAVEY!!!! I had posted about it last week asking value and didn't get much response but remember one selling on ebay for over $500... so figured go for it... hagled it down ,even did the walk away bit after offering $250 (guy was at $350) settled at $275.00 It's very solid, needs new lettering on light up sign but works great and did I mention HEAVY!!!! :Oo: So not a bad day again... per someones suggestion earlier... I don't need any help... I'm doing just fine... could use some donations though... :biggrin: First Photo of Slider with 7up sign, 2nd photo after 7up sign removed and 3rd of Vendo 77 (I haven't spent any time cleaning anything yet and the 77 has a layer of dust on it...

Post by: collecture on September 18, 2007, 09:15:51 am It was me that suggested we get somebody else in your neck of the woods, but after evaluating your most recent post (this one), I have come to the conclusion that you need more help than that - check your local Yellow Pages under 'therapy'. :tounge:
Nice finds and haggling! I'd love to have that lil' Squirt! You know - Squirt originated in Phoenix here! |
