Yes, very good, nice work. My favorite, or I should say least favorite, the one that I wish I could put my hands through my monitor and grab the guy by the neck is" If the ad is still up, then yes it is still for sale". You know, the guy who is stilling his Vendo 39 for $6,500. Of coarse it's still for sale you moron!
Another good one is the Craigslist ad who thinks he is running a auction. The best offer over $2,500 guy for a Vendo 23.
How about the best offer ad, the guy who says he has no idea what it's worth and will refuse to give you a price. You offer him $1,000 for a Vendo 81 then he yells out " well, I need to get at least $4,000 for it". Oh, so you did have a price.
The won't last at this price ad as he list the ad daily for months and months.
I better stop, I could go on and on........

My 2 favorites...
just needs a little freon....
these "go" for X number of dollars
I have people call me, wanting to know the value of a machine and they always see them going for "X" price... NOTHING
HAS GONE FOR ANYTHING...UNLESS IT "SOLD" for that price!

Then we have the folks that can't post a picture. 20 minutes on the phone while Ether hollers to Earl. Does it have round corners? Is there a crank handle?
Too much monkey bizness for me anymore.

very funny and very true!! I just recently purchased my first machine which turned out to be very rare, a wb60 single vend. Which I am finding out means obsolete!!! I over paid and am looking looking looking for parts but at least it gives me something to do and I am learning something new everyday. Oh and if anyone has some extra freon I might need some, think mine needs a squirt.  |

I agree with Eric on the "little shot of Freon" selling point. I know that most out there don't know anything about refrigeration systems and only some have a working knowledge and could be considered "dangerous" and then the other category is trade professionals. But....when I see ad's like that I have a hard time muzzling myself to keep from asking what I consider an obvious question, Where did the Freon go? I've used to my advantage to haggle on price a few times. I'll usually let the seller know that these systems are hermetically sealed. Sometimes you get the blank stare an head nod and other times you get the return question of either "Huh?" or "what's that mean". I then explain to them that under normal circumstances these refrigeration systems are sealed systems or closed loop. If it needs a "little shot of Freon", then there is a leak or multiple leaks somewhere in the loop that will need to be repaired and it ain't gonna' be cheap.  Sometimes they budge on price, sometimes they don't..... I also like the "cord is cut" disclaimer. It completely absolves the seller of any responsibility in regards to the working condition of the machine but it too can be a major bargaining point off of the original price. |

Reminds me of a classic hit that was covered by Freddy Cannon (of Palisades Park fame) in the 60's: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_EcnfqNGWy0  Tim |

Don't forget the guy that says "Make a reasonable offer" in his ad for a machine.
You call up with your "reasonable offer" and he retorts that he has already turned down a $5000 offer.
I agree with Brian though - knowledge is power!

How about when you see an ad on CL for a machine for $600, then 2 weeks weeks later it's still not sold, and it's relisted this time for $700.
Classic!!!...it didn't sell initially for $600, so by waiting 2weeks, it must be worth $100 more now!
