    I picked up a Coke machine from a CL ad, well the guy is quite the hoarder. He has tree companies drop off wood and he processes it. I invited him to become a member, he’d fit right in!

    Well let’s just say that I paid $50k in unmarked bills for that. My wife is cutting it up in the blender! Let her have a little and she’ll work all night! :rofl: :lol:

    So he's using locust rounds to support his stacks? What are the red things he's using for coverings? He's got some nice rolling carts too.

    Coke hasn't been 25¢ for a while.
    I would have to google cocaine prices to know what they are or have been , besides awfully expensive.

    The red covering looks like gym mats, the kind that go on the walls.

    He worked for Coke Inc. and I believe those covers were on carts that they used to put on the delivery trucks. They switched to another system and he was able to take them all home. He looked quite young and said he had retired from Coke 2 years ago after 30+ years of working there.
