So........where are all these "thousands of machines"???

[Mercury]

I've read quite a few times about the "thousands" of bulk machines hitting the market because of Wal-mart kicking Coinstar out. So where the heck are these "cheap" machines? I need some!

Any ideas?

I assume most or all machines went in the sale to National Entertainment Network. I had read one post on this forum implying many machines would be/are available cheaply, but never found anything confirming that. Some details are available here:

Still have huge racks in Walmart around here in a sperate room were they do can returns and photo's. The coinstar's here at kroger suck they are selling .25 items for .50 all of them  LOL I guess that could be good for the order toy guys in my town that keep selling at .25 .

If you watch the ebay auctions often enough, you will some times find where they have large lots of machines being sold, still on the racks.  They are usually just for pickup and won't ever ship them tho.  When I see these auctions on ebay, I wonder if they were sold at auction and now the buyer is trying to liquidate them.
