Guys well u remember i bought a 81 & dole on Craigslist this week. Well i just got screwed !! The guy sold it for 50 bucks more than we agreed on and i was on vacation so i could not get it this weekend so was going to have my friend pick it up this weekend and pay him cash. The guy told me some guy came and looked at and offered 50 bucks more. I guess you can't trust anyones word these days.  |

That just kills me. With all of the BS in the world all a man has left is his word. What a dirty dog for not keeping his end of the deal. Especailly over $50.00 If it was thousands I could understand but the least he could have done was call you first.

Matt,
That sucks. Have had the same problem here. Very upsetting.
The only solution I've found is to get someone there as soon as the you see the listing.
Not always possible and darn shame when some folks don't honor their word.

That really bites Matt!
I had a similar situation lately too! A rusty SD V-110 off CL in LA for $300...made an offer to part out and ship to me...everything was good to go...seller emailed that family was upset he was selling the machine- blah, blah, blah...couple days later I get a call from him and he sounds confused like and starts calling me by the wrong name - I said is this about the Coke machine and he says "yeah, but let me call you right back"...no callback!
I didn't really care, but tell me the freakin' truth and give me the option to counter offer!

What a "coincident" I too had contacted this guy about the same two machines via Craigs list & & got a reply saying it had been sold, ( just about the time you posted you had just snagged the pair) so I figured "oh well, I snooze , I looze" so by judging by the timeline, I saw your post here at SMC & also figured that it was you who had bought them. This morning I receive an Email asking If I'd go $100 above the old asking price!  so it looks like our "friend" is getting greedy & playing people for the highest offer. Indeed, he sucks...  |

Spoon-feeding Newbies since 2001...  Yeah..220,221 whatever it takes. Remember, all it needs is a shot of Freon! The Vendo V-83 is the '59 Edsel of the coke machine world. ;p Spray painting does NOT restore a compressor 11 is louder than 10... "Hope" is good, but it's not an action plan. |

Thats beyond lame, However didn't someone here say they saw the machines and they weren't " all that great" anyway( rust fire etc)? Perhaps I am mistaken with the real worth of such a 50's machine in that state of repair ?  Not nice indeed..... |

Matt,
That really sucks. As I mentioned in my post on the other thread, he never said anything about having an interested buyer. If he had I would have never made the trip to Toledo. That is also why I warned you to make sure he did not sell them out from under you before you made the trip to Toledo.
The guy did mention that he was going through a divorce and he had a lot of things to sell. Still should have given you the courtesy of a counter-offer.
I guess you can't count on integrity anymore.
Tim

Matt, I also contacted this guy and the person I bought the Pepsi machine from and I was figuring the first one to contact me I was going with and you can see the Pepsi won But I did talk to this guy he know where my sister in-law works and talked about some of the other land marks around there . I had also talked to JohnieG about this today and he said someone got burned sorry to here about it. This guy is a real S :censored:t head for pulling a stunt like this thats just wrong. . |
