Ok I did this favor back in late oct. early Nov.  I picked up a a BIG coke cooler
for a member at this site I had my buddy JohnieG help me get this Monster plus
it was in his neck of the woods,  So I droped John off and I headed back home I thought I would let this member know that I had this cooler in hand and it would be waiting for him.

  Well now we are into Feb. and  six PM later and I  have not heard a word out of this member,
So the question is , would I be wrong as to say this is now mine(OH Lord help me)  I had told him there would be a gas charge  of $25 to get this BEAST and now it is setting in my storage are  (Brother Inlaw Barn)  and I 'm at my limit  on space in there.  MY thought on this is to get it up and running and sell it to move it out.

  So Am I wrong on this or not ??

6 PM's and no contact I would sell it. They have had plenty of time to contact you. I think they had buyers remorse.

It is a shame another member would do that to you!  glare
I'd let it go and hopefully you'll make a little money on the deal.
And then turn into soda machine nazi "No more machines for you!"

Maybe he has been locked out of the site? There have been a few strays that haven't been able to get in. I know Jim rescued one or 2 and I have as well.... Just a thought. Does the person have an email addy in their profile? Have they been to the site at all?

Ken, there is no email address left and to be honest  I think six PM's is plenty
and he was on all the way to Late Oct. early Nov.
I even Had Creighton send this person a PM to have him call me   and there was a
big empty nothing .

Pat, I would contact him one last time and tell him he's got 30 days to retrieve it. After thirty days I would do what I have to do. For what it's worth I have a few machines here that I haven't heard from the owner in 3+ years. They haven't been in the way but with 29 dirtbikes and still collecting I'm starting to need that space as well.
