not my auction, but if someone buys it I may want one piece

Not far from me, but there's way too much crap in there for that price.
-
just curious....
what OTHER use could a cigarette machine have?
-
Marlboro Man MAME?
-
did you see chris farley in that one picture?
-
I want the cheese stool :D
You know, "cheese stool" could be taken the wrong way, if you haven't looked at the pictures. Eeeww!
-

Very little, unless you want to put toys in boxes or something.
-
I think the stool was actually the controller for some kind of cheese game. Bizarre!
-
I know that game. It's a kids' game, they have one like it at Chuck E Cheese here. It only has one big, lit button.
-
If it doesn't sell, (though it probably will), i might consider making him a lower offer. Is anyone interested in anything from that lot individually?

-
I am... I'm sure we could work something out for a couple of those things if you got them cheap enough.
-
Man ... I would love to get a big Gumball machine like that one......
-
I didn't realize that a u-haul would cost me $750. Any one near LI, or NYC want to lend me a truck? lol
Oh well, what can you do...

Did you win the auction?
No one did.
-
Is someone going to contact the guy? I don't have a vehicle than can move more than 1 cabinet, and I don't have 2 grand to drop on a batch of cabs when I only want 2 or 3 of them.
-
I asked him ahead of time if he would break it up if it didnt sell and he said no
might be worth another shot
-
I offered him $1000, he said he would take $1600. I was debating, figured selling half would come close to covering that. I would guess MOST of the non working units just need a PS or CK. Until I realised with 1.59 a mile, and the day charge and the insurance, and the taxes and the tolls, I was looking at about another $750 to transport. If anyone wants to try to work this out with a bunch of us here together, count me in. I could get a few home in a trailer.

The reason he won't split this up is that he'll end up with the just the crap/broken machines on his hands and no way to sell it off. This way he's getting someone to haul off his junk!
***DISCLAIMER: The above is just my opinion*** ;D

There you go...
-
wow, only interested in the lucky and wild though. I only live a half hour away. If it doesn't sell, I might make an offer.
-
I could help move 1 or two myself, depending on where they had to go. I could certainly help with loading, etc. I just don't have a vehicle that can handle towing or a place to store that many machines while we parse them out. I certainly would like a couple of those, but probably the same ones everyone else wants.
-
Yea, I think everyone wants the same few machines :)
-
Yeah, I would totally love that robot and the Cheese game.
-
Buy this lot splitting idea ...seems oh so familiar til I got screwed.
I am a gum machine collector so if anyone does decide to buy I would be intrested in buying the robot

Eh? You want to expand on that?
-
He was going to buy a bulk lot off ebay over the summer, and had made arrangements to sell most of them to folks here, myself included. The seller blew him off and he was stuck with some very annoyed folks.
-
I thought of you when I saw this too Ed :)
-
Ah, I never heard another word about it. Didn't know the seller bugger'd off.
-
Relisted, anyone know the bidder?

I know I'm a couple days late on this, but if you had some small boxes, you could use the cigarette machine as a token dispenser.
-
At 10x the trouble and 5x the size of a real dispenser... not to mention a machine that was used to distribute an addictive, deadly product to thousands of people.
I wouldn't want one.
