Joe,
 I am Josh. I am sorry that I am joining this conversation so late. I am visiting my parents in Cincinnati so I haven't had alot of time to check the computer. I know how it looks when I post here what I paid for the machine but I did not expect someone from this site to buy it. The members here are almost like a family and I was really excited about my find. I do sell alot of machines and I do make money on them but it is so I can afford to keep machines for myself. If you are interested in the machine that is great and depending on where you are located in indy I will deliver the machine and charge next to nothing or if you meet me along the highway on my way back to Minneapolis I wont charge anything. The machine is completely rust free. The discoloration you see on the coin door is just old soda from a shaken up bottle that fizzed over when somone removed the cap. The machine is missing the bent coin release and the lock is drilled but I ordered both from Funtronics yesterday and I should have them by monday. I am driving back home somtime around the 18th of this month. if you would like to discuss the machine further please feel free to email me at jdloman2000@yahoo.com.

Thanks Josh...will email you off line.  Your reputation is golden on these boards...that's reassuring.  That's the great thing about ebay...even if I know what you paid it gives no advantage to the buyer...it's what the market will allow...love that! '<img'>   I'm all for free enterprise.

If you are taking 465 around to 65 I could meet you just 500 feet or so off 465 at US 31(meridian street) North...or whatever is easiest for your route...again...will email later tonight or tomorrow offline...

Again, thanks Josh!

...There are suppliers (www.retrosoda.com) who sell all kinds of sodas in the 12-ounce bottles, too...

If you go to the Chicagoland Show, they have a booth there.  I order a week ahead of time and they have it there.  Most of their stuff is $28 a case, but they told me last year that if I got 10 cases they would go down to I think $25 a case.  But you may be okay since I have seen a lot of glass in grocery stores in Indy.

I live my facination for soda machines through Josh and others adventures.
This is the part of the discussion boards that I like most. I haven't got a great technical mind so
the finds that people have had in the short time that I have been a member keep me going.

I also like to know when they have struck a bargain and share in their good fortune. Please don't stop
letting the likes of me know what you have scored through fear of frigtening off a potential buyer.

Josh & others are involved in this for a living as well as feeding a habit. What I'm grateful for is the help & advice that they provide free of charge time and again.

Just my five cents (3 english pennies) worth

Well stated Dave.
      The most exitement in this hobby is the find. The find gets better as cost is decreased.  Why conceal the price with the group?  We will sell for whatever the local market or E-bay will bring.   And if this machine is solid and tested, I would not hesitate to offer it to someone in the group, at fair market value of coarse.  Especially someone new to soda machines who could call anytime they need advice.
      One point we should pass on to Joe. You will get a lower price on an unrestored 96 than a 72. The reason is 96 is tall and looks too big in housholds.  But in your store the the theory is reversed, bigger is better.

Well guys, I bought a machine from Josh.  Will get it delivered some time next week...I'll leave it up to him to disclose it as I don't want to offend.

I'm a bit worried too...before I bought his I put my butt on line for this :

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws....IT&rd=1

I think I over bid and will be stuck....opinions please!

Well Joe, I think I know what machine you got from Josh.  It will make your store look first class.
         On the ebay auction I belive you have time to retract your bid.
