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?

       Wow, thanks for sharing guys. Just found a machine that I would have otherwise missed.

       And here's another one too far from me but Terry may be interested although
they want a lot of money for it!  biggrin

It all depends on what area you are searching... If you are searching near me, search CL for dirty socks.. biggrin

Just kidding.. I look for a few different things, so I just go by category and check 4 different categories in the 4 groups in my area... if I am really bored at work, Ill search a few others...
