That's the portable coin counter you see a lot of on ebay for $345-$395 new. I won my year old model for $150 + $25 shipping. The guy shipped it without any packing material from 1600 miles away and I have no idea how it survived. It was in a box that could have held 3 of them. I opened it up and cleaned it out - it was obviously never cleaned (3 quarters stuck inside). I blew it out, wiped it down and fired it up. It works perfect! The machine is a monster for it's size. It counts as fast as the Jetsort machines where I dump. Accurate, too. I dumped my copper in it after a $50 sort and it spat out and counted 910 before I knew it was finished - scared my dog! I ran $68 in halves for fun and it handled them as fast and easy as the pennies. Great little addition to my lonely Ryedale!
Nice score Tim! How did I miss that one? You know I love machines. I missed out on a Reis Eurosystems machine tonight. I saw the #2 bidder go in with a minute and a half left on the clock.. I figured ROOKIE.. I waited, and executed the perfect snipe.. O seconds left on the clock! .. and my bid wasn't high enough.. I guess he wanted it more than I did.. but I did cost him an extra $178 for taking that machine away from me.

Actually sounds like you paid $150 less a $0.75 rebate LOL. Good buy - not sure how I missed that auction. I'm on the look out for a good counter too.

It must have been a quick 1 or 2 day bid. I just happened to check out ebay during Memorial Day weekend and it was there with a few hours left- No bidders until the last hour and I bid on it - thought there was a problem I couldn't see with it. No problems - good machine - just got lucky.
I had their CS-2000 model that I managed to snipe on eBay. Flipped it to a buddy of mine that needed a counter. It seems to be working just fine for him. Not sure how they will hold up over the long haul. They are quite a bit lighter than my Glory Counters. The good folks in Brown dropped off another Glory CN-12 for me at work today.
