Since the Year is winding down, it's kind of fun to recap what some of the best deals, finds or purchases of 2009 where?
I know there where some really good deals , so let's recap?

Me, overall, lots of great machines, pumps and candy vendors, I bet my Best deal was a Stoner Jr for 150.00  and an 81 for $500
Cant' really nail down what purchase was my favorite, so Just will have to say Happy with everything I Got!

Who else wants to share?

For me - I toned down my purchasing somewhat, but I really like the Tome Mexican counter cooler I got for $75. Then there was my large mech purchase, which wasn't a smoking deal but happy with all I got.

My $10 Vendo 110. 

I also got my Vendo 56 can machine finished up.  That's a soap opera story.  A guy promised to paint it in 2005 and it took me until 2009 to get it back from him - unpainted.  I was getting ready to call the cops (seriously).  He works at the same place I do, so I knew where to find him.  Trust me, there were some serious arguments over this one.  What a "Richard Cranium."

Mine had to be two weeks ago my old insurance agent was in my office and said his uncle had an old soda machine, and wanted to know if I was interested. I said sure, and was expecting some square top machine, or rusted out chest cooler. Then a week later he shows up at my house with an (Embossed) Coca-Cola Ideal 55 slider. Not only was it free, but he delivered to my house.

I would have to toss a coin to decide my favorite but my two best finds of 2009 would have to be:

1.  Complete Canada Dry VMC 110

2.  Early Stoner Theatre

Got great deals on both!  I haven't sealed the deal on the shuffleboard table yet so that may be one of my favorite finds of 2010.  Of course, the year is not over yet! biggrin

Pretty new to the buying aspect of it all late in the year, but I would say $50 for my little square top 56 thats complete and working fine was a nice find.
