[QUOTE="sambyrd44, post: 1988037, member: 26653"]I at times buy items from estate sales. I bought this old beat up group of candy machines and assumed they were all empty. I Bought the machines and picked them up to take them to my car and man they were heavy and I heard the coins moving inside too my surprise as I walked down the block toting this thing. Turns out three of them are full of coins one of the lower machines was broken into a long time ago no keys were with the machines. I plan on opening these later tonight or tomorrow one is a nickel and 2 are cent machines. They seem full based on how much they weigh. I will post a result soon , since the lady told me they were in use in a private school a long time ago before it closed down.
