Ok this is my new major find. I found this old vending company. I thought they were going to have a bunch of round top machines but I was wrong. But I did find about 8 of these stoners. They look complete but some are rusty. What are they worth. I passed for now because I didn't know what to offer. What do you all think. Is there anyone here who might want one? I think I can get them for about $100 each but I would have to buy them all. Also pictured is the rest of the place. It is mostly all 70 cup dispensers and some other odd stuff.

Looks like a gold mine... if you were closer to St. Louis I'd be there helping you sort out what was worth getting...
The Stoners would be good... you always need parts. Look for the little gum Stoners
wall mounting machines... I would love to have one of those.
By the way they look I'd say more like $25-50 on the Stoners.
They need a lot of work.....
How did you stumble onto this?.....

I told the owners that I wouldn't say anything. They were really didn't want me taking pictures, but they let me anyway if I wouldn't say where it was. I am not trying to protect these for myself. They just don't want anyone else knowing it is there.

Another thing....Isn't it sad seeing this stuff like this....how does a place get so run down?!?!?....
This is almost...ALMOST as bad as the 7up bottle plant
that I went to a couple years ago
(I fell through the floor in one building) that's how far run down the building was....
It's like a bad dream.... I was up to my ankles in 1940s 7up easle back signs
(You know the 7up sign of the older man holding a case of 7up) 100s of them
rotting laying on the floor!.....
Hope you can save the Stoners candy machines......

I was just curious if it was in within close proximity statewise so that I could decide if I wanted one. If it's to far and it has to be shipped, I might change my mind.

Brian it is rather close. No shipping would be involved.

yeah it is sad, looks like some of the arcade machine warehouses I've been in. You can't really blame the operators though. The minute a machine is showing a profit it's off the route and they could care less about it then. Also they rather just let the stuff rot then be sold and possibly end up on some competitors route. If the stoners were salvagable-halfway complete I'd probably be interested in one if it was practical as far as getting it to me.

Josh, you amaze me.
A stoner would be great but I'm helping my sister with her med bills.
