Toad Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 When buying vending machines off of somebody on Craigslist, it's amazing hearing all the lies. "Selling due to health" --means- I'm sick of trying to figure out this business "Lost the keys" means- I stole it "I don't have time" means I'm afraid to locate "I paid $4,000 for it new" "Like new" "Needs a little work" Am I missing any?

shepherdsflock Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 "Money maker" = I lost a ton of money with this thing "All cash business" = I engage in fraudulent business practices and don't pay taxes; I'll cheat you, too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toad Posted March 5, 2013 Author Share Posted March 5, 2013 I once bought a crane off ebay for $300, the picture was a black rainbow, when I drove 100 miles to pick it up, it was a white united textiles pile of parts. She said she didn't know how to upload a picture and used one she found on Internet. I wanted to scream, I just turned around and walked out door Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually had to use one of the one liners at one time. When I sold my route a few years back I had to use the line "selling because of health" when my wife became ill with cancer. I started up a route in Florida and we were going to move there and then she got sick. Was too much for me too handle 600 machines and a full time truck driving job. Needless to say after a year of treatments she has been cancer free since Nov. 2009. I sold off my routes and extra machines and we decided it was best to stay here for the foreseeable future.
