Well it was the find of the week last weekend A vendo63 style star
with wood grain and all  biggrin.

 Got a call last Friday from a guy thet I don't even know ask if I was the one that buys Coke machines (So I said YEAH I'm the guy) he said it was square and chest high and got cold(and that is all he could tell me about the machine) and asked what I  would pay for a machine like that (OK YEAH RIGHT) so I told him between $50 & $150  his reply was well I need more than $50 so went out Saturday & look at it he was not there
 talked to him offered  $150 he said he would have to talk to his wife.

 (NEXT DAY)
  Sunday  call the gentleman and asked what they came up with
 He told me his wife wanted $200 then he said what were you
thinking and I said $175  and he said the wife does not need to know about the $25 less so picked it up Sunday ok.
And here is the kicker I never meet the guy, He told me to leave the money in the cabinet in the garage.
It was a easy deal, I like those.

Nice score and good story... I love just leave the money in the cabinet.... It's like your buying Sweet Corn from a Road Side stand...
those little machines are growing on me...
