tom is a great guy, when ever you need help with a machine he is always willing to help. He has helped me get a few rare things from shows and also helped me move many machines, as long as you feed him lots of sushi
I agree to drop the issue, BUT I just want to clarify that Kim, the owner of Custom Records, was the one who had the original two N.O.S. Popperettes for sale a few months ago. He picked them up in Indiana.
This guy must have bought them off of Kim. Kim pulled the machines from the original auctions and told me that he sold both machines to someone in Minnesota. I am ASSUMING these would be the same machines. I have pictures of one machine and its serial number was two numbers
off of Mr. Gross's Popperete's number. The odds of four N.O.S. machines with numbers which are that close are astronomical. I asked Mr. Gross if he bought these from Kim, he said he did not. He said that he bought them locally, six years ago. I still find that hard to believe, but I really don't care.
The reason I'm throwing in my two cents is because the focus seems to be about this guy pulling the machines twice. This is his first time that I can see that he stopped the auction. Right or wrong you decide. I personally don't appreciate anyone ending an auction early for any reason. If it is already up for sale at a local store, don't put it on Ebay.
Hello Larry
Seems as though you don't want to drop it. Still worried about where the machine came from? Find it hard to believe it wasn't a machine that was offer months ago by someone else? But like you said, "you really don't care" Could of fooled me! Stir the pot a little more Larry. Oh, but thats right, you really don't care do you! What a joke. Why do pople like you, and others feel like they have to always stick there noses where it doesn't belong. And then come back with something like................. but I really don't care! Grow up!
