I've used both methods as well, the problem with the first craigslist search method is that it doesn't catch the listing as it's newly posted... I've heard it's 2-3 days late??? but still a nice feature, if your willing to get stuff shipped, or willing to drive a ways.

I haven't seen any posts here on how to search for machines, I know we all probably have different ways to find them.  I wanted to pass on my method of searching, maybe it could help someone.

I usually search Craigslist, but you are limited to the locale in your search.  One way is to use Google, and in the search box, type:

"Coke Machine" site:craigslist.org

This will search all of Craigslist, where I have found some good machines, many miles away.  Obviously you can replace "Coke Machine" with anything you're looking for, but it's a start!

How/Where does everyone else search?

This was a great tip - thanks for sharing!

I found my Cavalier 72 on Craigslist.  I used to search only under "coke machine", later I found more machines, including mine, on Craigslist that were but not under "coke machine" but under  "cola machine".

Other than the usual "coke" "coca" "vending", "dispenser" can sometimes yield unexpected results.
